Q. about Elm Oyster spawn
    #22137435 - 08/24/15 08:27 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

A question about growing edibles.

I bought two bags of Elm Oyster sawdust spawn and they arrived today. One had a good bit of visible white mycelium, the other very little. Anyway, I went ahead and planted them both. Afterwards, it occurred to me that maybe the bag with very little visible mycelium might not have been colonized enough to inoculate the substrate. Does anybody have experience with this? Will it be ok or did I just waste $30?

You want spawn to be 100% colonized by the mycelium.

The instructions that came with the spawn read, "The spawn can be used at any time ... If you can not use it right away ..."  Sounds to me like it should be OK to use the day I get it. I called the company and their CS rep said I should have let the spawn rest a couple of days to recover after shipping, and the mycelium would have bounced back. How hard would it be to put that sentence into the instructions!
