Spontaneous Grail!
Remember the day I made spaghetti sauce psychoactive tempeh? This is the jar of Spaghetti sauce I used. I was going to make a small amount of ambrosia in a jar and I just saw one was already made for me! There was some fleece juice metabolite that I decided to drink up, (yeah it was kinda gross, but it didn't taste gross at all!) And YES it is DEFINITELY my psychoactive mucor. It's so convenient to have my main contamination be the mold I'm trying to grow. Its a nice change from what i have dealt with all year! So anyways I poured some bottle grape juice in there, shook it up to distribute fleece (i guess its a tomatoey grape juice now, since I didnt wash it...) Hopefully it turns out

Re: My Fleece experiment #2!
I just wanted to update, the fleece is alive and growing strong! The clear glass plate I'm using shows fleece already covering the bottom, which you can kinda see on the very edges. And of course that tuft on top! Guys! Do whatever it takes to get real fleece spores! Ground amanita powder is nothing compared to them! Its been less than 24 hours! I'll post tomorrow too! Sorry for shouting, I'm just so excited.

Re: My Fleece experiment #2!
Specifically I meant fast assured growth of the fleece. Its always a shot in the dark with caps. I spent half a year working with just caps trying to grow the living bread, and every "success" I had ended up being the wrong type of mucor, usually only coming to that conclusion after some time. The later half of the year i didnt worry about growing the bread, just the right fleece, and that meant focusing on spore harvesting. I've only had the true fleece for a little over a month now, and i really feel like making the spores the goal, at least at first, is the reason I have it. Now i didnt harvest my own, and I'm certain that all my purchased caps were dried "too hot" for the fleece spores to survive, which would explain why almost every single cap I experimented with provided no growth, except my last one. I think i got REALLY lucky...
So @T36, How are your beans doing today??

Re: My Fleece experiment #2!
Just wanted to show how quicky this shot up! It is thoroughly colonized, and it is getting very warm as it feeds upon the barley/quinoa. There are drops of water on top of the fleece because when i disturbed the lid it rained down. I suspect not quite enough airflow, so i just took 2 bamboo skewers, broke them in half and then poked them through the bottom of the bread and used the 4 pieces to hold the lid up just above the plate. Basically there is a small gap on the bottom, and hopefully this will be enough for good airflow. Oh i guess i have my reverse grail pieces now too? Lol

Re: Fleece cultivation
That's because I used straight spores! But it looks like soon you will have them too! That looks like the right fleece there, right next to the start of that green mold! Congrats! And even a 2nd and 3rd strain!? If one grows faster than the other use the spores from the faster one! Man if only I had started with your caps... I'd be a year ahead!

Re: Fleece cultivation
Those tiny white splotches scattered around on the beans are likely not fleece but a green mold. It'll turn green when it gets older. But no matter! Your fleece will spread faster now and maybe even cover those green molds, just watch! I'm sorry to hear about your glass not working... I just realized that the real point of using terra cotta or wood is that they are porous enough to absorb liquid and dry out so much slower, thus giving the fleece a greater chance of sporulating! Now, you could actually try again using a jar with a screw on lid. Since theres no fleece yet, you'll trap moisture longer without worrying about oxygen deprivation.
