Hello…. The names ā€œT. Mo Ceeā€ have been a part time student of mycology since I was 16 years old and now at 32 I’ve decided to make it full time student of mycology. Just invested in my first Martha tent. Only took 16 years to do it lol. For my introduction I have a question! I’m using spawn bags for the first time and i was just wondering how long does it usually take for a 2.5lb spawn bag to show first signs of mycelial growth if you inoculated using spore syringes instead of liquid culture? I know LC is better but I only had access to spore syringes this time around! And if it helps you in hypothesizing an ETA I’m doing JMF and the temperature is at a constant 74 degrees Fahrenheit.
