I have a hypsozigus tessalatus-beech (spelling butchered) culture I cloned from store bought I'm thinking of growing once or twice before I buy a plate from you guys but I know almost nothing about it. On grain it grows really slowly but really dense. What kind of incubation time am I looking at? Is it fast fruiting  like oysters or need to sit a long time like chestnut or shiitake? Also just got brick caps to fruit the first time recently but really disappointed. Only 6 mushrooms and I can't even find anyone that has got them to fruit before, that was like 5 months of incubation on the successful block....... Not successful but it fruited. Cased with non sterile compost, stamets book noted they need micro organisms in the casing to initiate a pin set. Any idea how to grow them properly? If not no worries it's just a side project

Recently joined the culture club and ordered some genetics. Very impressed with the packaging and quality of the cultures. The golden enoki and lions mane plate cultures are super aggressive. Also tried out the king oyster and reishi grain spawn. So far every thing I have received has performed well on media and grain, moved 40 blocks into my tents this morning, looking forward to seeing the final product and yields. Thank you so much for everything you do, you have a lifetime customer here. Soon I will be trialing out the maitake and 3790 shiitake to compare with my current cultures
