Mid-Cultivation / Still Growing it's only been 6 days and already seeing promising results..
On the left I believe is B+, the middle is Lion’s Mane, and the far right is GT. They’re all labeled, of course, but I had to flip them due to some pooling of LC after I shifted all the rice toward the bottom of each bag. This caused them to rest at kind of an irregular shape/angle.
That said, I’m already seeing some impressive growth—except for the Lion’s Mane, which doesn’t seem to be making much progress compared to the others. The room stays around 75°F and doesn’t fluctuate more than about 10°.
Any advice on improvements I could make? I was thinking about shake and breaking the bags that are doing well in maybe a week or two, but I’m also leaning toward just letting them colonize on their own. What do you all think?

eh, honestly it's a small batch. but yes, I'm definitely taking my sterilization protocols along with my techniques for not only inoculation, but the fruiting phase a lot more seriously. I hate contamination.

Might be time to invest in a pressure canner and some jars. Graduate to the next level.

yeah I really wouldn't mind once I can afford it. I'd be burning through multiple syringes of LC like a bat shit crazy scientist lol
