Comment on Mycelium has a grain preference, it seems. (Brown rice, Popcorn mix)

I haven't tested/verified this myself but I've heard that mycelium grows particularly well on millet and rye berries. Might be a couple to add into your experimenting.

Rye is the go-to and millet has a massive amount of surface area. I know rye will work but since it is a very well established grain to use, I want to explore other options as well. TBH, brown rice has been performing very well for me in all cases as well.
I have 10lbs of millet (split into 4 bags) that is getting close to 20 days or so. It started extremely slow, but once it took hold, the colonization has increased speed exponentially. I also have to break it apart more often to get more colonies established.
