Its taken off

The wedge of warm fruiting shiitake I bought took off immediately when put to agar. The culture is clean and the growth is strong. Cant wait to get to the fruiting! I have never been disappointed in a genetic from MMM and I have been coming back for years. I hope I am as skilled of a mycologist one day!
