Any of those are fine, tbh, just different mixes. I try to use as generic a substrate ass possible.

I put some privet in with them earlier, i left them for 30mins and went back to check and they had cut 2 large pieces so i left them for a bit longer when i got back i saw them cutting it into smaller pieces and there was a couple of smaller bits being moved around the fungus, i also think there seems to be a few more black bits on the fungus.

Panic over i think Ive just been watching them for the last hour and they are cutting and adding lots of privet to the fungus

To be honest i think it was like Deansie said, they were just moving in and getting settled and now they will start work properly.

Just thought i would post a couple of photos to show how the fungus is looking now.


I couldnt get any images from the side, it wouldnt focus

Well they are definitely adding to the garden.

They are very busy at the moment, there is always new leaf on the fungus, its like a continuous production line.
