I love albinos! Beautiful!

Uncle Ben Tek imo, some people dislike it, but it's the easiest and cheapest way to start without a pressure cooker. Check out the link to 90 second mycology in the sidebar.

It was actually a grain to grain transfer but yeah you're correct, I started with mycelium and not spores.

Sounds like you're just getting to the exciting part! Share some pictures if you can, I'd love to see!
