Checked both grain bags tonight, no surprize that nothing's visible yet. Purple Mystic AIO looks go for mixing tomorrow evening, 17 days since inoculation.

AIO is doing it's rhyzo thing, going to wait another day to smash-n-mix. Instructions recommend mix at 10% to 20% colonization so a little ways to go yet. No action in either of the grain bags yet.

Just now spotted white mycelium in both the BMC and the PM-X grain bags. It will be fascinating to see what happens when the Cubensis mycelium reaches the grain in the X bag that was contaminated.
I am anxiously awaiting that too.Just now spotted white mycelium in both the BMC and the PM-X grain bags. It will be fascinating to see what happens when the Cubensis mycelium reaches the grain in the X bag that was contaminated.
I've read that as mycelium gets thicker and spread out more that it gets more resistant to contaminants. Do you think that's true?

Absolutely true, LC. In fact they have antibodies and fight germs just like mammals do. I believe jt starts developing self defense as soon as the mycelium becomes dikaryotic. Like us, though, there are limits.
