Amazon

 This little shroom has given me sooo much trouble though im not sure why.  Probly coz ... novice!

The 1st thing i noticed about this strain was the color of the mycelium.  Me being a novice i originally thought it was contaminated.  The mycelium was more of a grayish white instead of the beautiful snowy white that i had been used to.   Yet it kept growing until it filled up the grain jar.

Once i mixed it w sibstrate it seemed to take forever to grow.  In fact i thought it had died at one point.  After weeks of misting & waiting i finally saw pins coming up out of the substrate.   It grew!!!

But,  there's always a "but", amazon seemed to suck up all the moisture in the substrate even w my attempts at trying to keep moisture in the tub.   These little shrooms decided to side pin AND grow from the bottom of the cake.   

Soo weird.

I initially thought they were too annoying to grow, but im currently growing some that are behaving nicely.

I started w a grow bag of grain that i bought online. I forgot to label the strain that i had innoculated into the bag,  forgot to write a date of when i actually innoculated,  so it seemed to take FOREVER to fill that bag w mycelium.  Maybe it did since i didnt date it?  Once the mycelium did start growing it was sooo pretty.   I loved watching it grow.  Still do love watching all the various strains grow.  I look at them nearly every day in awe. Next i used substrate that i had also bought online to mix my bag of unknown mycelium in.  This was my 1st experience, i had purchased a monotub which took a lot of substrate.  Again, after a week of seeimg nothing happening i was disappointed. But ...

Mycelium

  Mycelium is so delicate , dainty,  very pretty,  to me. Whether its growing in agar, which ive yet to get a good photo of,  or growing in a grain jar,  or beginning to grow on the surface of substrate.   I love seeing the white threadlike growth.

Not so much

 It's been a long while since I've even grown anything . I had way too much previously grown and just got out of growing. Maybe will get back to it at some point. I actually do love growing.
