Sorry, nothing i can do will let me see your pics. When I did staw baskets I did one with oysters, one with Ecuador. The oysters colonized slower, and trich took over - tossed that one. Remember, the straw is pasturized, not sterilized and there will always be trich inside of cell membranes. As the myc breaks down those cells, the trich is released.
The Eqs were more aggressive, colonized pretty quick, but it still seemed like forever to get any real mushrooms out ot it. Some of the biggest individual fruits I've ever harvested came from that basket, but in reality, the total weight was no more than a half dozen really prolific PF cakes.
So for all the straw shredding, Pasturizing, grain prep and colonizing, layering, and waiting - a fun excersise, but I wouldn't consider it successful from the stand point of yield...
