Looking exciting!!!!!

The Oyster mushroom "roots" (mycelia) have colonized both toilet paper
rolls now and are sprouting Mycelia in a circular pattern out the sides!
:-) Two of the tufts are looking rather thick, so it looks like I may
have Oyster mushrooms pretty soon. I forgot when I planted them so I'm
not sure how long its' taken.


In your original post I could not avoid noticing that you started your
culture after cooking the mushrooms somehow. I was wondering if that
is something that helps by killing the bacteria (while the spores
survive). I have found on the web a site that shows how to make
mushrooms (cut a bit out of mushroom, put it in an agar dish, then the
dish in a jar of boiled grains, then the grains in a few gallons of
sawdust, be paranoid about being clean all the while), but your method
seems to go directly to step two.
