Reishi tubs stalled? (pic)

I spawned these two tubs --coir/shredded hardwood 50/50, sub to spawn ratio, 1/1, as I recall, but not more than 2/1-- on Aug 24 (right) and Aug 26 (left).

This is my first time with reishi. I don't know, but they seem to be going pretty slow to me. The one on the left doesn't please me at all with that vast flat stretch in the middle.
Can anyone tell me if these guys are on track to give me conk or two? Right now I'd settle for some nice antlers. I have seen pics of people with tubs that bristle with antlers after a couple of weeks. I am going on a month with results like this.

I'm about to do my first reishi grow too. However, from observational experience, it looks like you're doing fine, have pinning, and can expect conks to start forming from those pins very soon. I think Reishi is just relatively slow to fruit.

Well, I am finding it slow--although it is fast as lightening to colonize grains.

From Sporeworks. It seems to be a strong culture--it spreads through rye berries and WBS like a champ.

It takes weeks to months for a nice antler to form. Give it more time.
