  Day 60. When pins say go, you goDuring the current reishi grow I faced with a dilemma. On one hand, the bags still had uncolonized areas, so I couldn’t remove the air filters and open them up for proper pinning earlier (before they started forming pins on filters). On the other hand, reishi had already started fruiting… yes! through the air filters!The pins were literally biting into the filters. Trying to remove filters at this point would completely ruin my early mushrooms.I couldn’t wait any longer and had to move them to the fruiting chamber right away. I figured I’d just let things slide. Let them grow through the filters and see what happens.And just like that, the first day of the fruiting period officially started!
