My straw is growing grass

Fully colonized, in process of consolidation and primordia, and i have about a dozen 8 inch blades of what looks like grass growing.

I don't mind.

I did NOT pasteurize correctly, I simply boiled water, threw it in a bucket of pure/shredded straw, and let it soak for a day, then drain, and lay out.

I used a electric hand drink mixer/blender to SHRED about 1/2 of the straw, which gives it a very moist totally filled in base, as opposed to a standard dry stray mix.

I used this same mix of straw and also added verm/poo/gypsum/chicken calcium mix. Used the same style of boiled bucket tek, and let it sit for a day before draining and laying out. That one is moving along very nice as well, but no green grass.

I currently have a damion5050 coir bucket that his been sitting sealed for a full week. It will STINK when i open it. I will use it to lay out and see if my myc survives.

Reminiscing.

There was a time I had 20 or 30 quart jars filled ready to lay out. It was just a constant cycle of try new stuff. That's why I chose my handle.

Now I got nothing. Whine whine whine.

They put me in jail. I had to beat off people much larger than me. This is a dangerous thing to do.

Be sure you're ready for the consequences. Because they suck.
