You can but there is no difference in dark or light colonizationā¦ Key is to keep them cool thoughā¦ Roundabout way of saying your choice, makes no real difference, like soak and paper towel vs direct sowing with beansā¦
And donāt shake when you innoculate, reason being spores themselves are singular beings that need to reach out and grab a similar spore to be able to continue to grow, shaking after innoculation mixes them around from each other and makes it harder to find a compatible spore (again, you can do it, but it will take longer to search for compatible spores)
Spore your bag near the edges of the oats, wait til 25%ish of the visible grain is colonizedā¦ Then breakup the colonized bits and mix them through the rest of the bag as evenly as it could be, after that you are on a 2 week homestretch to full colonizationā¦ Then tray it and case it or monotub it and case itā¦
But definitely on your way today! Iām not trying to sound like Iām barking orders lol
Iām just waiting on fruiting pics lol
