Day 17: And the bag opens!!

We were very excited this morning.  After a longer then average wait for the mycelium to form, we have finally reached 40% coverage and have opened the bag to allow mushrooms to begin to grow.  We struggled with getting the temperature right, but after applying a heating blanket for 3 days we finally got the results we were looking for.

Now for the long wait.  It will take 16-20 days at a temperature of 64-66 degrees F for mushrooms to begin to grow.

Here are some pictures of our current mushroom bag.
