The bulging white spot don't like to good,as if it wants to start overlay.
Straw is not a casing material.
You could still get fruit off it but it looks more like a bulk grow going on than a fruiting thing.
You may be able to get away with putting a straight Verm layer on it.
1 month you should be seeing fruit.
Guess you know not to use straw as a casing material next time huh? :)
Baph
should i add the verm now? it dosent seem to be 100% colonized on the straw. my goal was semi bulk project. I was just experimenting. I followed an artical i read on the shroomery

i think the screw up in it is that the straw is not kept close enough togeather, providing to large of gaps between pieces. next time i think i will try a straw log or somthing along those lines. to keep the straw substrate in close confinement with itself.
You could have made straw logs, all I know you could do is try and fruit as is.
