>>Do you leave the lid off???<<
Off of the incubator? Nah, my cat just takes it off to take pictures. As you can see, the incubator is sizable and isn't airtight. Besides, there isn't a lot of gas exchange necessary for the incubation stage - a certain concentration of CO2 is beneficial.

I tried this today. Not that I don't belive your results but figured we might as well see if your cat is on to something. So I took a total of ten quart jars 5 using distilled water and 5 using water off the pasturized straw. I inoculated all of them from a master spawn jar so it would be the same strain. So I will let you know whats going on and post some pics.

Update. I?ll let you make your own decisions but I?m in favor of just using plain distilled water.
With straw water I

I have a litre of this really dark water left over from simmering rye.. do you reckon this could serve a similar purpose to straw water?

Interesting. Do you think that you might have stalled the straw water mycelium by introducing a new substrate for it to break down after it had already acclimated to the rye?
Here are my current results:
My cat will definitely going to be trying this again in future experiments. Perhaps this was a fluke - certainly could happen with a multispore innoc.
Thanks for providing the objective experiment. Can?t say I?m hoping that future results are like yours, though.
