Looking awesome still!
I still haven't figured what exactly makes them decide to try and form conks. A couple times I thought it happened when the temp in my room dropped a few degrees, but then other times they just do it anyway.
Sometimes they won't do it till some of the antlers start capping off and you think they're gonna stop growing, then all of a sudden you see pores and a whole bunch of new growth above the pores, which turns into conks.
It will be interesting to see what yours do that's for sure!

Skullphuxxx just had a completely frozen LC take off. Out of all those cultures it is kinda strange that the reishi would be the one to die

yea weird! well last night i did up another plate and another jar, while I'm waiting for a reply from vendor. was thinking/hoping that perhaps only some of the culture died, not all of it. with the initial plate, u can see the pieces of myc just sitting on the agar. i don't think it would be the agar itself right? just standard MEA.

I've had LC --> agar fail or take a really long time to take off, if the agar was too dry. How long has the initial plate been sitting?
If it won't take to grains though, something's wrong for sure.

the plate was only sitting for 1-2 days before noc up. the shitaki is showing growth on agar, but not the grain jar i did 2 days before the agar, so i dunno? the enoki is sooo whispy on grains, for now i guess.

How do you prep your grain? If grain is really dry it can take over a week to show any growth sometimes.

Still no conks. Got the lids wedged open a fair amount, gotta be a lot of FAE. I would never do this with cubes. Still they don't look like they are drying out. Definitely getting to be large, I'm starting to worry my tubs not tall enough

What size tub are you working out of Pastywhite, and I am on my first reishi grow also, and they look shitty compared to those bad bitches, I am growing out of bags and a bucket, which the bucket I cut slits in the Saran Wrap at like 15 days, just to see the comparison, and it formed conks upside down on the surface!
But reading an older post mephistos something ( I can't recall the whole name) he/she said to cover it back up and they will go back into antler formation! So I did today we shall see what happens!
