@Pollinators So far so good for the first attempt at making my own starter mycelium.
I follow your backup account just in case something happens to the main one.
I should follow your example and get some backup, too.

@Aubrieta Yes, exactly. We'll see. I'll write an update whatever the outcome might be.

@Aubrieta I tried chestnut mushrooms with the same technique,too, but there is hardly any mycelium development in the three containers.

@Aubrieta There was a tiny bit of development after about a week and I could have proceeded a week or so earlier. However, life gets in the way sometimes.

@stfn Yes, I used the stems of some shop bought king oyster mushrooms. Some had a little bit of mycelium on them.

#Mushroom update
The #mycelium of the king oyster mushroom has developed really well!
Today, I soaked shredded paper und cardboard in boiling water, cooled it down and placed blocks of the mycelium in it.
The grow bag is now closed for the next few weeks until all the paper has grown mycelium. Then I'll cut some holes into the bag.

Following instructions from the Caley Brothers ("Project Mushroom"), I've tried to grow some #mycelium of king oyster mushroom today.

shred brown cardboard
sanitize it with boiling water
desinfect your hands
squeeze cardboard, to drain water
put it in layers into a sterilized contaier
put sliced mushroom stems between the layers
close with a lid
keep in warm, dark place for 7-10 days

The Caleys said to drill holes into the container. I made one hole and covered it with bandaid.
