The spawn bag used for the first invitro flush was filled with water and the bulk nugget dunked overnight in the fridge. Then the nug was cased with field capacity coir and put in a terrarium for fruiting. These pics are 6 days later:

This is a B+ isolate with a reasonably proven track record. It tends to throw 3 big flushes of nearly identical size and then 2 or 3 more stragglers will show up. As you can see, harvest from the invitro bag and the "proper terrarium" are almost the same. The bag produced a lot more aborts, also. But the bag didn't give up one of these:

Can we say happy mushroom dance? I knew we could...

Unfortunately, the invitro shrooms just aren't as aesthetically pleasing. Check this one beautiful cluster:

So, invitro is a lot easier and a damned near as productive...but the fruits just aren't as pretty. Experimentation continues...
