*We inoculated the farleys grounds in 2 milk-gallon containers and one 1.5L soda bottle (submerged in bleach & waterto clean), layering in the "Hol Spawn" with the grounds. Covered with ripped-open zip-lock plastic bags, allowed airflow in different ways (1 with holes in the plastic on the top, 1 with spacers creating flow channels, 1 with similar flow channels and holes by them). Placed the containers in the aquarium. | *We inoculated the farleys grounds in 2 milk-gallon containers and one 1.5L soda bottle (submerged in bleach & waterto clean), layering in the "Hol Spawn" with the grounds.

**Note> No nutrients nor water/humidity added. We will connect the humidifier tomorrow when the hose has been properly cleaned. Mortens sense is that it needs more humidity as the grounds were quite dry. | **Note> No nutrients nor water/humidity added.

*Morten and Hol set up the tastebridge-gear, and tweaked the arduino timer to run the humidifier one minute every hour. | |||

*Batch #1 evaluated by Morten and Corey: | |||
**The soda-bottle had some contamination (of the orangy-watery sort), and from Mortens memory had next to none 10 days before. Alas, it seemed to get some anaerobic contamination since then. Proceeding with fruiting it for the sake of seeing it grow, though shouldn\t be eaten due to risk of contaminants. | |||
**The two gallon-milk-bottles were both slightly contaminated with both the orangy-watery type, and mold of blue-ish color. Morten took these to his compost to let them assist in that process. | |||
**The big kombucha container was full-on contaminated. Might be because of bigger container/more densely packed/less spawn to substrate/got some contaminated subtrate? This was discarded with care, per the advice of Corey, as the contaminants might've been carrying unhealthy spores. | |||
*Batch #2 started out! | |||
**Cardboard (the innerparts) and ziplock bag style! 6 bags prepared in total. | |||
***4 with pasteurized cardboard, 2 of which with spawn from our soda-bottle spawn, other 2 from grain-spawn of the strain "grey dove oyster". | |||
***2 with non-pasteurized and dry cardboard, 1 with spawn from soda-bottle and 1 from grain spawn mentioned above. | |||

Common method is called "cold flushing" (If not shocked, it is possible to store the populated substrate in "hibernation", as a kit). | |||

<blockquote>The last important factor for mushroom growing is providing an appropriate environment both for vegetative andreproductive growth. Not being protected by a skin layer, fungi are easily affected by their growing conditions. Soit can be said that the success or failure of mushroom cultivation depends on the control of growing conditions.Environmental factors affecting mushroom cultivation include temperature, humidity, light and ventilation.Optimal levels of them at vegetative stage differ from those at reproductive stage. | <blockquote>The last important factor for mushroom growing is providing an appropriate environment both for vegetative andreproductive growth.
