Well, as a noob who has just inoculated this very same myco-bag, this thread has been a fascinating read! Thanks for starting it off mrmazdarx9!
Now just wondering if I should remove from the bag or not once I get full colonization? Earlier a member (Runningdog?) said he just followed the instructions to the letter and got good results so I might just follow them too (minus the foil wrap?)
Anyway, love the thread, some great tips for us noobs. Thanks!

What was the substrate again? Anyway I think the best thing you could do with it would be to spawn to bulk sub in a mini mono or something

Thanks very kind I would fruit in sgfc not the humidity tent (bag) the bag it all grows in I would trim down close to the level of the casing but not remove it as mine did indeed get dry on the sides if however you do want to remove from bag which is awkward as it folds into the substrate but if you do remove it dunk and roll in vermiculite to stop the drying. the subtrate is some type of grain pretty chunky aside from that I never really bothered to look into but the minimono sounds like an ideal plan
finally yeah everyone says dont buy a kit but these kits cost like £15 quid im on flush 4 now no contamination a big jar full of dry shrooms ready for some kick ass astral travelling ive learnt alot now learning agar got pf cakes on the go, all from these cheap good kits sparking my interest and getting me into this new world of microbiology
