 Reishi and golden oysters

Due to the heat around here I decided to fruit some P. citrinopileatus and some G. lucidum. The Goldens are from sporeworks back in like 2004 or 2005 this is the first time I have even attempted them. they are on oak sawdust. The reishi is a culture I got from Andrew47. It colonizes very fast. After being spawned with 2/3 to 1 quart jar each they colonized in about 5-6 days. The mixture is 60/40 oak sawdust/straw with a little bit of shredded cardboard to soak any excess moisture up.
What do you think? Do the primordia look good? My first time doing the reishi. I have the humidty at about 95% and I have been misting the reishi twice a day.

I like those G. lucidum primordia!
You must please post some updates!

That's cool. I've never seen reishi fruited straight from bags like that. They look quite strange with all that tumourous white growth around them.

Good link for how RR does Reishi. Just thought you might want to have a look (though you appear to be having good success).

here's a couple pics on how i did my bags, give you kinda an idea on different reactions
this first picture i just had the bag upright and open the top of the bag. i did not roll the top down or cut it or anything just opened it straight up. its interesting because it looks like it produced pores yet there wasn't any cap...unless all that dark brown is the cap and it thinks its upside down 
this second bag i just cut a corner off, i liked the results on this bag much better. i goofed my humidity up on both of these bags so the end result didn't warrant a picture 
and this is just a jar that was being misted a few times a day inside a tub with the lid cracked a bit. i don't even recall using perlite or anything. eventually this would have formed a conk i believe but the gnats conquered it

Here is new pics for those interested.
Here also is some pics of my oysters fruiting on Budweiser boxes and straw
My roommate keeps bringing me these big phone book sized law books that were from last year. WHY NOT!

Nice pics Lipa! Those things look awesome, especially the reishi.
Here are some pics of the same reishi culture on the same substrate (from Lipa) but growing under high CO2.
I am hoping to get some nice antlers, but you can see the fruits against the bag are kind of flattened.
it will be awesome either way.

x7x_x7x asked for fruiting parameters for reishi.
Day high is 81 F
Day low 74 F
Humidity is maintained at 95% with regular misting during the primordia formation
Humidity is fluctuated from 80%-95% throughout a 5 hour period during fruiting
Both cycles have a circulation fan in the chamber to keep stimulatory current and minimize unwanted organisms.
The oysters in the chamber didn't seem to care to much about either setting as long as they got a fine mist 2-3 times a day. I stimulate primordia for the oysters by placing a sheet of perforated plastic over the bag for two days. Once the clusters form I remove them and open the bag up more to encourage the larger pin sets on top.
