Just grabbed a bag of mulch from Walmart. Holy shit this is a big bag!
Going to try mulch in a bucket and a grocery bag with my King Oyster spawn once my jars colonize. I'll try to post some pictures and let you guys know how it goes.

 Ill remove the bag there's to many pins on top
better to cut holes in the bag around the cluster. keep the moisture in the substrate block itself. unless you have something that will keep the rh up or your ambient rh is 65% plus. these blues love the moisture. if they aren't watered a few times daily they show signs of drying. if you look at some of the above pics i posted, you will see some drying on the base of the clusters where the smaller pins didn't get enough moisture on them. culture's tolerance for conditions may vary.

Those are looking good Eat when do you harvest and when do they start dropping spores so I can take them outside?
