A-strain on newspaper.

I decided to give this it's own thread, it's taking to much room in my other one. I had a spawn bag colonizing with A-strain and it stopped at 15% while my other bags were at 60%, pretty sure it had bacteria spots, so I cut the bag open in another room and saved about 3gs and put them in a container the size of a cup that I had filled with newspaper balls and tiny strips, the reason I rolled the newspaper into balls before soaking is so the mycelium will have tiny passages making it easier to get around.
I put the 3gs of mycelium in the container on 12/14/13
Here it is on 12/16/13

Heres 12/17/13

Sorry for the side ways pictures

I looked at the contaminated bag I saved this mycelium from and there was some more mycelium that didn't give up and grew a bit more, so I saved some more and then put the bag back, knowing the bacteria would have the whole bag soon I got every bit of mycelium I could and made two more.

I didn't have a lid for this one, but this works.

pretty happy, 
any thoughts on how to fruit this? no SGFC or bulk, it needs to be in that container just the newspaper, it's part of my study.

yep, just clean/new newspaper, soaked in hot water and put in the microwave for 1min to boil the water/newspaper a little.

Oh nice. I hope that works out for you. I'll be keeping an eye on this one. Let us know how fruiting this goes!

Subscribing to see if that turns out to be mushroom mycelium...

pretty sure it is man, If you read the whole thing, you'll see I transferred 3 grams of P.cubensis mycelium to the newspaper.

Between the fact that he said he put P.C. Myc in the newspaper and the excellent rhizo growth in picture 2 of update 12/18, I think it's safe to say it's not only mushroom myc, but cubensis at that.

I know what he said he did, I'll be highly surprised if it works though. it does indeed look like there's some myc in there but it's a questionable tek and the whites spreading too fast IMO.... I'll be impressed if it fruits before turning green though!

I have a main grow going on, the cup idea were just a experiment, if they work I'll be happy, if they don't I won't really care, the contaminated bag I got the mycelium from was replaced.
So I've opened the lid maybe 3 times since the I transferred, there little white pearly dots on the stronger side of the container where the mycelium colonized first, when I look closely at them there not fuzzy, like the mycelium surrounding it, there more just solid looking, could these be knots?
