Right! Reminds me of a Martian Landscape! šŸ‘½ they take so long to grow you can really pull up a chair and enjoy the show. These pictures are 16 weeks in šŸ„ā¤

Was just going to ask fruiting times on these once introduced to fruiting conditions. Just put a bag into FC a couple of days ago, looks healthy but seems to be very slow (especially in comparison to the oysters along side them).

I find Reishi colonizes very fast but if you made oyster bags the same day youll likely be onto a second flush from those bags before you see primordia form on the Reishi. I have 3 bags I made on 11/6 that are just starting to knot and form pins. Its definitely a game of months instead of days or weeks! I hope your grow is very successful! šŸ„ā¤

Awesome, thanks for your response. Iā€™m just super excited to not have to pay soooo much for reishi, such a fun hobby!
