blue oyster clone on oats

This winter was soooo long, and I was missing mushroom hunting so much, that I had to learn to grow them. Spent countless hours lurking around here, bought an antique all american, and got to work. I'm super excited to start cloning everything I find this year. I've already got some oysters from my woods started on agar.
But anyway... on to the mushroom pics.
I bought a blue oyster mushroom at the grocery store a while ago. Took a tissue sample, put it on a no pour agar "plate". Did some transfers, made a liquid inoculant. Poured it into jars of oats for later expansion to sawdust. I left a few jars sitting around too long. They would not break up, they were bricks, solid. One of them was starting to grow up through the ge filter.

So I decided to fruit straight from the bottle. Opened 'em up and cased with vermiculite, and misted frequently. Had a pin a few days later, and was eating oysters a few days after that.

They are in open air, I put them in a tub with no lid, so I don't get the counter wet when I mist. If i won't be around to spray 'em for 6 or more hours I throw a plastic bag over the whole operation,.
I started the first one just standing upright, as It started to pin I decided to start another over-grown jar I had.
I thought about most of the oysters I find growing from logs and trees. They usually grow from the sides not the top of their substrate. So I turned the jars on their sides.

Started thinking about little shelves to stack jars with.
 With furthur augmentation 
Maybe I'll construct a more proper fruiting chamber one of these days. As I mentioned I'm just starting out with cultivation. These are the first fungi I'm eating that I've grown!!!

Thanks so much. I couldn't have done it without the shroomery!!!
The bottle that I started when I saw the first one pinning, has a fruit coming in now.

Here's a pic of my wild oyster find on agar ready for the first transfer.
