Options for a fully surface-colonized sclerotia bag
    #6843464 -

My friend from the Netherlands posed this question to me earlier today, I told him I'd look into it for him.

He has a sclerotia bag that he got from one of the prominent vendors -- he wasn't sure if it was mycopath or sporeworks. He inoculated some P. "Atlantis," a large sclerotia former.

A week and a half later, a nice, super-white mycelium has grown over the surface of the contents of the bag. It should be noted that a sclerotia bag is very different from other bags -- it contains one giant, extremely hard lump of substrate. One would need a large knife to be able to hack it in half. Back to the story -- this nice mycelium has formed over the entire surface of the bag's contents [i.e., it's coated the giant hard lump], but he is quite certain that the mycelium has not permeated the inside of the lump [and will not? or will it?], so all colonization would be surface.

Does he have any options at this point? Is his only choice to leave the bag alone and let it eventually grow some sclerotia? Or does he have other options, like trying to get actual mushrooms to grow by standard or other fruiting methods?

A 'sclerotia' bag should either be rye grass seed, or rye berries, but should not have a 'lump' in the middle. Something isn't right. My jars and bags of sclerotia producing species grow stones throughout the entire bag or jar, not just on the surface.

His bag does not have a lump in the middle. The substrate is one big hard lump. Almost like they melted down whatever was used to make the substrate, and when it cooled it formed one giant, hard blob-like mass.
