New prototypes: 1 week vs 1 day of growth

O. Nidiformis 1 day after inserting spawn, the substrate is both bird seeds and straw. 1 day after inserting spawn. The top row containd O. Nidiformis, the bottom row P. Stipticus. Substrate is straw and bird seeds. The 8 most left ones are after 1 week, the 8 most right ones after 1 day. The flasks that are marked contain P. Stipticus, the others O. Nidiformis. Substrate is bird seeds. The 4 most left ones are after 1 day, the rest is after one week. The top row contains P. stiticus and the bottom O. Nidiformis. From left to right: straw, bird seeds, hemp, straw and bird seeds.

Improved production method

By placing the substrate together with the shapes in an autoclave and in an enclosed myco bag, a higher succession rate was achieved. From the 6 bags, only 1 has shown signs of contamination so far. This method allows both the shape and substrate to be sterile and also increases the production speed, which in its turn also decreases the chance of contamination. These experiments are 2 weeks old at the time and the largest mycelium clouds already produce visible light. The right most bag has developed a contamination and has infected all 3 of the shapes.
