At first I thought my LC was dead because the bag didn't appear to be doing anything a couple weeks after inoculation. Kept it anyway since it didn't seem to be contaminating, and it was alive after all! I don't have an incubator so the cooler temp of my house during the early spring is probably why it took so long to get going. Planted little handful size pockets of grain spawn throughout one of my grow beds, about 4 or 5 inches deep and 6 to 8 inches apart. Later this week I will be putting in the companion plants (tomatoes, peppers, onions, cucumbers, squash, and some flowers for attracting pollinators). Hopefully an update will come later this summer if I get any fruiting bodies!
