A few grain jars

Image
 The top image is of casper. A variety ive not tried or grown.  It looks like its still growing but its been in this jar for 3 weeks so i will give it another week to see what happens. The other 2 are APE. One jar i put in my incubator,  i can see the mycelium growing along the injection drips. The last jar i had just put on a pantry shelf.  Its growing but slower. So i put it in the incubator today.   Will be interesting to see what happens.

 I am again not sure where these spores came from other than a friend.   I cant find any info on them. But i thought they were easy to grow Plus i like their caps. Almost likeca button cap but they open more.   They also grow prolifically like the cute little bunnies that i like to grow (white rabbit)

Being so sick for a while i just didnt care either.  But i'm back....!!! So. I think ive decided to work w only a few strains. I'm working w some of my last experimental strains.  One is a jar of mycelium which im hoping will grow out soon. Halo:  not ...
