Yes they are very good. High quality dowels, packaging and service, low prices. The fact sheets and instruction manual are detailed and include images.
They also offer grain and sawdust spawn, on demand.

It smells like tarragon? Cant remember what that smells like but i bet smells awesome.
Tarragon is a lot like fennel. Licorice notes without the sweet.

Under a lens I can see the Tarragon dowel has come into action. Slightly stronger than its brother variant Golden oyster.
24 hours response using the standard WL Tek. Images soon, in about 3-4 days.

Yea sorry dude, had it been wild bird seeds, I would have images. So consider +3 days for using dowels as a transfer medium.
Hows the WL Tek test going TravelAgency?

So here it is after 48 hours, on the WL Tek, 100% dark at 25°C.

Thick, fast and white. WL Tek wins again. Side note, dowels work fine.

Yay science!
I'd really like to see how colonized grain does on WL as well. That strain looks bumpin'! Can't wait to do my own! Think I'm going to cut the dowels a few times and drop most to agar and one to a grain jar.

Here is the Tarragon oyster on WL Tek after 3 days:

Grains or WBS would be a better spread.

Test results so far are good on plant fiber as a carbon source. Next test, add more carbons via plant resins.

So plant fiber is complex and requires energy to breakdown, to receive more carbon.
Been doing some research on tea leaves as a carbon source. Managed to find this, which is testing on used tea.
I will be testing unused tea energy, carbon. Starting at 25% tea leaves to WL Tek.
I also have 50/50 pine to test.
----
Failing all test's I will have to transfer to wild bird seed. The WBS will act as the primary carbon source.

More power to tea: Antioxidant and antibacterial properties of teas. So we want black and/or herbal teas.

Got some action after 18 hours, could take up to 48 hours.

So far it seems it may be faster with tea.

Such great vendors, I emailed them to ask if was possible to send me grain spawn. They will do 120g sizes for £4 GBP, $5.22 USD, plus delivery.
So I ordered Tarragon and Summer oyster spawn.
