I will keep these suckers updated and have a few other blocks coming right on the heels of these ones,
The other blocks that are a little behind these ones were made with hardwood sawdust/hardwood bark and oat bran, These ones have a lot more pins and are definitely going to yield a lot more!!!!) Here are some shots of the first blocks for now, The substrate used for these blocks is hardwood sawdust/coir supplemented with oat bran.

Nice job. Do Reishi blocks tend to brown a little like shitake? The reishi that I'm currently growing are all white in the bag... did yours brown a little in the bag or after you took it out?
Anyhow... nice antlers- you could mount those over your fireplace.

Reishi tastes like ass. It is only for medicinal purposes.
Grow Shiitake if you want something to eat! CH

I didn't use grow lights on these, I just had them on the tables in the pics with two windows, one on either end.
Do you have a pic of that block fully fruited?
I am definitely not going to use coir ever again on them. Next time I think I am going to try a couple with organic hamster bedding, made form 100% cellulose.... It is basically just shredded up cardboard.
I have too many projects going for my own good and these have actually been neglected a bit due to that fact.
The next blocks I am going to post in this thread are a lot nicer, I just wanted to get the thread started as I am going to be busy as Hell for the next 10 days, no pun intended.. .
Like I said can you post a pic of that block fully fruited? 
That is a damn nice pinset!

I don't have any final pictures, the wife and I share a camera and she deleted the final pictures before I downloaded them . I could give a link to that grow but I don't think there are any better pictures. I did straight cardboard and cardboard with bran they both did about the same. CH

Well, they look better than mine!

Those are some beautiful fruits Prof.
I think that I let mine dry out a bit too much.
I am learning as I go.
Take care,

I give them a drenching with one of these 3-5 times a day,
 Its a garden sprayer and they go for about 30 bucks at the gardening store. You just pump them and they mist the heck out of whatever you aim them at when you pull the trigger.

Try unplugging one of the holes and increase their H2O supply.
They really like FAE a lot from what I have found and because of that I mist the heck out of them to compensate.
