After three and a half weeks in the patch i took a random root sample home from our 1164. The sample was taken approx 4 feet from the actual spot i innoculated and i was able to take this picture of a recently germed spore. The dark brown spore is still intact, and to the left from it a sporo carp (looks like pie with a piece missing) and a bove a germed spore.

Taking super clear pictures is hard without the proper equipment and chemicals to prepp the roots for the microscope. Nevertheless, we have lift off confirmed. The myccorhizea is now active. ( despite inhibitory fungicides)
