So is that common and normal for the grain to get oily like that as Reishi ages and takes over the jar?

Some mycelium kicks out metabolites. Shiitake blocks actually need to be "browned" before trying to fruit so i wouldnt be surprised if reishi kicks out some slime or brown dots :shrug:

I have sort of suspected that it was normal. It is the grains themselves that seem to exude some fluid.

I guess I will not know until I get my first straw log to pin and fruit (or not).

I found another trusted cultivator's opinion on the matter,

Quote:

I have often said if one lives in a desert he can get away with procedures the rest of us can't. Trichoderma blooms like crazy in wet woods. I live in Seattle and it's just downwind from the Hoh rainforest, which is probably the birthplace of half the trichoderma in the northern US. In Las Vegas or Salt Lake City, one can be sloppy and get away with it. In Houston, St Louis, or any points east of that you darn well better follow proper technique.

Ahhh well I suspected that the desert helped disguise my incompetence as success :crazy2:

I am lucky I guess that the humidity is so low here. The downside is the lack hard woods locally. :sad:

Not sure about the trade off but as I am just starting out I think the lack of contaminates in the air is best. :smile:
