Shiitake spawn ready to be used?
    #23618726 - 09/06/16 03:51 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

Hey there, so I just got some shiitake 3782 sawdust spawn from a local distributor of spawn. To me, this spawn doesn't look fully colonized, but I'm also not used to growing shiitake's. Is this bag ready to go or should I wait for a bit?

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

My input is to listen to Drake's input. Note the "Trusted Cultivator" tab.

Fresh spawn will generally lose it's white coloration around where there has been pressure (think of grain spawn after you've shaken it). So, like Grower says, it could have had a rough ride to your place. It's probably colonized through, but wouldn't hurt to let it recover before using it.

This is what it looks like now. I figure I'll probably birth them tomorrow or monday depending on when I find some time.
