They look fuckin' awesome! Nice first reishi grow, and from a wild clone too? 
Pretty sweet to get conks too, opening the bag and letting 'em do their thing, they love that

Ganzig said: I could be wrong but the shape of the fruit development is influenced more by CO2 levels than moisture.
Very true, it was the addition of airflow (more correctly, the reduction of CO2) that gave you conks like that. Although it's never a bad idea to mist reishi when you've got the bag open, so they don't dry out.

Nice, I wish I could find g. lucidum up here, I cloned a tsugae but it's much harder to fruit...

Sure can, just dunk for a while and within a few days they should start growing again. Usually from where you cut the first fruits.

Mrcloudy said: The new pins are already showing pores, is this normal? I currently have the block in a container with low airflow with the intention of growing out antlers then switching to the high airflow box for growing the conks on them similar to the first flush.
...
The pores don't signify that the pins are going to stop growing do they? The one in the photo is about the size of a dime.
IME that is quite normal. Reishi seems to like going straight to conks on 2nd and later flushes, staying real close to the surface and not growing antlers out, so it's common (for me at least) to see pores appear quickly like that.
First flush: Second flush: 
I think giving it more air would give you the best chances for more growth, since you're definitely not getting more antlers at this point.

Nice 2nd flush conk though, they do love to spore!

What is your source on this?

Mrcloudy said: *Edit* Honestly I did not actually have a source, I was going off from what Alan Rockefeller has posted a few times. So thank you for asking me for a source and making me actually do the research myself. That's how you really learn things.
Interesting info. I'd say Alan is a good enough source! There's a lot of varying, sometimes conflicting info when it comes to Ganoderma species, even from published authors. I don't worry about it too much as I think the medicinal qualities are similar enough, but it is interesting to try and learn about.

Damn Cloudy, you've come a long way since the beginning of this post 
Definitely interested to see anything you find out in the variations of medicinals across species!
Also, sorry I haven't gotten you that culture I promised yet. Dealing with a lot of new-house issues and haven't had time to do SHIT. My culture fridge also decided to leak water all over everything I had in it so I don't know if anything in there is even viable/un-contaminated... but hopefully I'll have time to look into it one of these days.
Anyway, thanks for your continued work and great information 
Hopefully I'll be back around more in the near future, in the mean time I'm trying to become an HVAC expert
