I have been writing about my experiments with mycelium in the garden starting here:
Thunder Bay Permaculture
You can see in
This Post that the substrate is turning white as the mycelium colonize it.
And in this picture that I took yesterday, you can see the oyster mushrooms I picked from the same spot after we got some cool wet weather following a hot humid spell.
Depending on how much spawn you used to inoculate the area will influence how fast the colonization will unfold. As you can see, I used a lot.
