First two pictures are my Z strain harvest and tub. I pulled this tub earlier than the rest to pop the lid because I was noting the fruiting bodies of my other tubs were coming up before I could open the lid and that was not only effecting substrate colonization but the size and volume overall of the fruits on the cake. You can notice a difference in the colonization of substrate in z strain tub (2nd picture) vs the Thai elephant dung(TED) (3rd picture). Z strain colonization is more carpet like and healthy, whilst TED has spotty colonization.
