Mushrooms Day 10: Primordia Galore

Okay, dark patches in the straw are NOT primordia. On day 8, I turned the kit around to check for primordia on the back and found an enormous green splotch:

That's mold, not primordia, which means we've been keeping the humidity too high. I had just sprayed the kit (oops), so I resolved not to spray on day 9.

However, there were clear signs of primordia developing on day 8. You can see one poking out a bit on the far left of the moldy photo. Here's a clearer shot, showing popcorn-like growth:

 

 On day 9, these had grown noticably:

 

There were similar primordia all over the front of the kit.

Today, day 10, the primordia do not appear to have progressed much:

So I misted the kit again. While the primordia don't appear larger, they do appear more bifurcated (split into lots of little knobs). We'll see what they do with a little more moisture.
