Daubs, any chance you you get an overall pic of the fumgus ? So we could see all the new gRoth?

[Daubz1977]

Yes mate, I will get one this evening.

This is how the fungus is looking today.




theyve started adding leaves to the second garden today also.

Yes they are starting on the second garden, I see. Good activity, nice numbers. Well done on the intro of the bigger ants. I have replicated this and it works. Nice add to the collective there!
We should see the fungus start to rise upwards soon as the ants build on it.
Do you have a probe from a humidity meter. If so this should be right where the fungus is.

[Daubz1977]

there is a probe mate, i removed it when i took the photos and then put it back once id taken the photos. They have started building the fungus up already, it just doesnt show that well in the photos.

I got a little video and a better photo of the fungus, I cant believe how quick the fungus grows.
