Fruiting process 1

I started the fruiting process a couple of days ago, on December 1, 2013. The straw casing was damp, warmish, and heavy with mycelium.

I mixed the bag of soil with the smaller bag of fruit fly casings, added one liter of water, and then microwaved the resulting mud for ~15 minutes until it was hot and sterile.

When it cooled to room temperature (after much mixing with a fork and gloved hands), I spread it over the top of the straw and then twisted the bag closed. When white, fluffy mycelium start to appear on top of the soil, then it will be time to expose the box to light and finish the fruiting process.
