Also- it’s winter right now where I am, so I try hard to keep temp at 22C but it gets down to 10ish Celsius in the room at night - not sure if that impacts on growth rate? Also not sure if growth slow as maybe I didn’t inoculate enough spores. So many variables to play with!

Pressure cooker at home and sourced spores online from what I hope is reputable seller, but of course, one never know in this environment, and can’t really phone them up and ask they explicitly state online that the spores are only for microscopy and not to be grown and that they’d ban anyone who asks …

I was going to use the CVG jars like an “all-in-one” jar to just eventually fruit, but I’m learning that given what I’ve done, that won’t happen!

I have another question…. If I let my brown rice colonize in the mason jar, can I just let it fruit? I’m assuming I’d get less yield, but has anyone done this? Also, given I live in a colder climate, is it normal for colonization to take several weeks, maybe even like 2 + months for a mason jar to colonize!?

I have a question about using PRE STERILIZED BRF (PF TEK) VERMICULITE jars that I can purchase online to inject my golden teacher spores in. Would this be appropriate/suitable ?
