TheMooseZeus Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) Hey all! Its been 24 hours since i added colonised grain spawn to the pasteurised substrate. It seems like the mycelium is having a hard time migrating to the straw (hay?) Any idea what's going on? Edit: dark spots are seeds from the grain (not sure what grain was used possibly bird seed) Edited October 24, 2019 by TheMooseZeus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caster Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) If it’s only been 24 hours just wait a while longer. I’m sure it’ll make its way through! Check again in a few days Edited October 24, 2019 by Caster 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thankfully nothing is pooling at the bottom of the bag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teamwhy Posted October 25, 2019 I punch hole in my oyster bags and hang them so they just drip any extra water out. Then they fruit from the holes when they are ready. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I put small holes every 10cm around the bag, should i open those up a bit or should that do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
