I think it is a good way to check. Pity it is so hard to get proper comparison testing for active levels carried out though. What I also like it that it is very easy to grow 2 jars of sclerotia under identical conditions, as light and humidity and air exchange on 2 mushroom grows can vary a lot. But sclerotia jars can be prepared the exact same way and incubated side by side and inoculated from the same clone, the longer period of incubation gives a delayed view of what is going on, almost like a slow motion camera.

But most comparisons will only be done by people eating and guaging their trip, which most dismiss as unreliable.
Yeild cannot be dismissed, I want to grow some sclerotia side by side with the only difference being additional water added to one jar throughout the grow.
