i would only isolate 2-3 times away from the spores just to insure good genetic makeup. ps cyan/azure do not produce adbundent rhizos like cubes.
Look for my growlog. it works better then great. i deleted all the pics but maybe you can get an idea of what to do from it.
I made a shit load of grain spawn, just wbs. I made beds in the existing planters in my back yard. i added soil to the beds because I knew that I couldnt fuck with it once i started the bed. I lightly sprinkeled the colonized grain spawn to about 5 kernels per square inch, it was just a rough estimate. Some more some less. Then I add no more then 2 inches of these wood chips. I find that going deeper then 3 inches smothers the mycelium so basically 1-3 inch deep with the chips. I watered 1-3 times a week depending on temps. It gets 115 degrees here in teh summer and I am sure the suface temp of the bed hit 140. As it cooled down I kept watering once a week and I noticed the mycelium coming to the surface. Then i just let nature take over. it is super easy, super basic, no need to boil these chips. Aslo check wiccan seekers outdoor tech. I took one mushroom and chopped it up in the blender and mixed it in a bag with some chips a few weeks ago and it took off. Colonized the whole bag in one month. This is the ideal easy tech with no lab work

I think things are coming along well... This what it should look like?

Only a little bit of contamination....

sounds like you know what you are doing. Keep them away from that mold. Get a shit load of grain spawn ready before sprint/summer and you will have a bad ass cyan patch all to your self. These grew from the stems left over from hunting. I did nothing to cultivate them, just trashed the stems outside in some landscaping wood chips.
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

As it happens right now I am attempting to grow spawn on both cardboard and rye grain.
 rye grain
 cardboard
The mycelium growing on the card board is ropey and beautiful but there is also much less of it.
