You are right G2G transfers will die eventually, then there are basic liquid cultures that you can make. I just read monkeybones lapia thread and there is a simple LC how to there. I normally take the biggest shroom and clone it or liquid culture. its the same reason as clone with grass get huge fruits with an even canapoy

Lapia thread? Simple LC how to? Mind pointing the way?
Damn corns always hurt my feet. Oooohhh popcorn. I also need a new git. Would love a good tele or a good Gib, flying V, SG, anything. PRS when I'm older, and have the dough to drop while sitting around my own studio. Right now I'm just broke. But at least I got shrooms.

hey man. i was doing some forum surfing at mycotopia.net and found this:
ORIGINALLY POSTED BY stonesun AT MYCOTOPIA.NET
While some people get away with using Micropore tape (mostly because they use it on PF jars - which isn't even necessary), I would not
recommend it as a primary filter, even if it's doubled up.
I have done a little microscopy a few months ago (someone asked me
to do so...).
Took a P. cubensis sporeprint and with a drop of water and an inoculation
loop I've transferred some spores to Micropore tape.
Here are the results (I've circled some individual spores on the images):
100X
400X
Then they asked me to do the same with Toilet Paper...
100X
Not much difference between the two material.
Note how the gaps between the fibers are so huge comparing to the
cubensis spores, which are about 12-17µm...
So as far as secondary filtration, you can throw it on there,
but I will not recommend it as a primary on anything.

the common misunderstanding is that all spores float freely in the air. the majority of the time, spores tend to stick to small particles of dust, soot, skin, hairs, filiments, specks or what have you. If you manage to block these much larger particles you will not have perfection but you will eliminate the vast majority of points of contamination.
