Hi Marco, are you able to upload these pictures or are they just available as a link.
What species are they?octospinosis?

Just as a link I'm afraid. Yes octospinosus which he bought from you I believe a while back I may be wrong
His name is Kyle

You might be able to take a snapshot of the picture! I took a snapshot then uploaded it to photo bucket and then onto here
The fungus is huge!!

And.'otice the heatmat UNDERNEATH the setup.,because the fungus is so big, I think the breathing of it alone creates a constant humidity and circulates the air

Firstly the colony looks fantastic! Amazing. Really nice to see. Can you ask Kyle to join, Marco. He should be a member here!
Secondly, Bitterlime, where did you get the tech skills. Sounds like a tech mod in the making!
And finally. the fungus is separated from the heatmat by the clay balls. Its only a problem when there is no airflow between the fungus and the base. Kype has, by design or accident, solved this problem very well.
Nice post Marce, colony is as good as it gets with Acros.

I'll ask him to join

Force him!!!!! We'll all go round to his house if he refuses!

Sure Kyle's colony is 5 or 6 year old now, looks like its doing well. But a colony with space and food I imagine would be far far bigger.
This does show they can be as big as you allow them!

Nice colony there mate !
