this is really slow stuff. i got four jars on top my water heater where its right under 30 degrree celsius and its been 4 four days since spore inoculate and nothing is happening

@picaticatara It's probably doing more than you think in there. It seems to take a little while for it to get dense enough to see though.

Nice! Grows fast, how long have you wait to see the mycelium starting to colonize your rye?

Peace!

@shironia Hi, it took about 2 weeks or so until I could actually see the mycelium moving through the rye. Once it got going it shot through the whole lot pretty quickly.

@picaticatara u need a oyster spore or some type of part of the mushroom for it to grow off of mine started in 1 day

@accomplishedorg lol nah i just had a really contaminated lc i thought would work. here it is febuary and i opened one jar up (nothing growing visibly still) and it reeked of mildew it was still pretty damp too

man oyster mycelium can get DENSE. I had to break a jar open one time. The stuff would not break apart in the jar....
