I need to try again too been busy doing other things and in the past the slugs ate everything anyway.

However after reading Mycellium Running and reading its suggestion of cardboard as a substrate (it discourages mold etc but the mycelium generally like it) I did pretty well.

So if you have any pink oyster mycelia strands (or mushroom bits you think might have have some developed spores in) boil a kettle pasteurise some cardboard it and give it a go. 🙂
