I was in a similar situation during the Christmas holidays when I
demonstrated PDA formulation and sterile technique to some friends...
button mushrooms from the store had to suffice that day as the oysters
were soggy/slimy (clearly not very good). The button took over the PDA
surface, and has been fighting against some black contamination... but
I think it's winning, as there's what looks like a primordia slowly
forming on the agar surface over the past few weeks. The conditions
aren't optimal, but I half-expect to get a fruitbody from this petri
(canning jar actually)! I'll post a pic if something pops up!
