I just spawned some blues to sawdust and one to straw. I can't believe how aggressive it is. On one of the sawdust bags I had 2 small spots of green and thought it was done for. Next day the mycelium had overtaken it!

Nice! I'm having my first go around with oysters this weekend. I'm going to have to try the pellets, also. Try some straw too. Keep it rocking.

Nice Jim.. I also just spawned 5 quarts of blue oyster oats to sawdust/bran last night. Can't wait to see what turns up. I'm doing mine in a monotub though.

First pins coming from a jar (9/28/2015)

Do these bags looked fucked? If not when should I fruit them?

King Oyster bags are looking much better.

Do you smell your spawn before using it? It's a good check before using each jar. How do the questionable bags of blues smell? Usually you can smell bacteria or yeast. Oysters should smell like fresh almost sweet mushroom growth with some underlying substrate smell. When in doubt throw it out... but outside not in the trash. 90% of the time mother nature sorts things out and gives you fruits outdoors.

Agreed. If it looks bad put it outside. My best grows are outside.

Yeah I sniff test. They all smelled like clean blue O. spawn. Which you described just as I would. A sweet mushroom smell.
The bags smell the same way too. I was gonna put them on my deck. I don't even have my martha setup yet. I don't know where to put it. Not much space.
Should I go ahead and cut Xs and stick those first two bags outside?

Aight. I went ahead and cut Xs in those bags and stuck them outside. I'll take a pic of more pins on the jars tomorrow.

Very cool bags brother. I think it's unanimous, oysters tend to fruit better outdoors

A better look at those pins:

No pins from this one yet. It looks fucked to me. I'll let them keep going just for the hell of it.

There were side pins on this one so I went ahead and took it out of the container... Is this a bad idea? My only fear is that it would dry out since it is not in a container.

Also here are those bags I stuck outside. It won't be long before I can let my kings go outside too.

Blue O. Bags are fruiting. The jar flushes are piss in the wind so I'm not even gonna post about the jars anymore. I saw some pins one of the King O. Bags, I'll post pics for those soon.

Jars don't fruit as nicely as blocks? Joking, sweet grow brother, I do all my oysters in 5 gallon buckets with 5-10 holes, makes for giant clusters of beautiful fruits. They fruit nicely outside in my shack
