This is my first try at posting pics so I hope this is correct procedure.

The first pic is from experiment after trying to use the fine verm in pf tek. After no signs of growth, I tried again by
adding a 1/3 of crushed cob to recipe, sterilized and innoculated. (Psilo Warrior - I think I may have not judged water content correctly and was too wet on my original attempt with tek.) Growth appeared after just a few days and spread quickly throughout jar. As it began to coloize, growth slowed and appeared to pause. Removed jar lid, repaced with coffee filter and let "breath" for 10 mins or so and replaced lid. Growth picked back up and began colonization again. I'm hoping it continues to colonize and no contams as this is all that is left of B+ syringe.
These pix are using straw / manure as bulk and spawning by layering colonized WBS.

Now should I wait before top is completely covered with myc before casing? Or is it time to case now?
If this turns out to be successful, I'll propbably never try brf cakes again!!
THX to Psilo Warrior, anno and Baph for their help and guidance!!
