 # Fruiting
 
+Getting mycelium to fruit is a labor intensive process.
+Fruiting isn’t necessary for the production of compounds.
+You could use food grade grain like steel cut oats or brown rice in [colonization](#colonization) then skip the fruiting stage by waiting until it is fully colonized and dehydrate the mycelium.
+
+It is much more appetizing to prepare and consume the fruiting bodies.

 This is because mycelium sense that water is evaporating and wish to take advantage of the updraft to spread their spores.
