2 months growing magic truffles... too slow

As above, I've been growing 6 jars of truffles but the process is taking way too long so I'm getting itchy feet. I inoculated the first 2 jars in late July but it looks like it'll take at least another 2 months before I can use them (see the pic below).
My question is can I buy a growth kit online safely to get it delivered in the UK? I've been looking at a growth kit on Z******* which looks interesting - anyone used them?
Cheers
Edit - took out company name

You just need to isolate a faster growing sector of mycelium. Look into agar. Also I think you're inadvertently advertising, and I'm not sure if they're a sponsor of the the site, so please remove their company name. For the record, I hear good things; Though kits are highly frowned upon here.

Ok, thanks, removed the company name - might go for it then. Why are kits frowned upon btw? I guess with growing them yourself you learn more about the process and you're forced to research about it?!? But yeah I had a good trip from growth kit shrooms in the past and essentially that was what got me interested in the first place.

I'd like to but they're nowhere near ready yet - at least another month since I can see most of it is still just grain with a few stones forming here and there. It's Psilocybe galindoi

If they are fully colonized you could spawn them and see some potential fruits. But yes, stones take time. Thats why people grow cubes.

As far as your jars go, the experts would probably tell you to scratch your feet and wait another month or two. You could take your best jar, collect the stones now, and fruit the grain. Use the search feature to look for sclerotia. I have these links handy so I'll post them for you now:

Couldn't help myself, now I have to go find that song, lol!
For people interested in studying the spores of the truffle are there any US shops selling syringes?
