Hi David,

Sounds like you're on the right track! I'd recommend putting some in a box with pure peat moss as well. The 'fuzzy stuff' is probably a mix of spores and 'fuzz'. You can separate the spores by tapping them down a sheet of paper or using a nylon stocking over the mouth of a jar (like a salt shaker), but unless you get mold problems it's no big deal. Now it is mostly just waiting. First signs will be a slight greening of the surface, then it'll start to look like moss. Afterwords, single, roundish green discs will become apparent. Do not disturb them until the first 'true' leaves form (like little green flags sticking up in the air). The you can use a tweezers to separate them out into a larger box with more space. I wouldn't fertilize until at least that stage. Regarding wetness; pretty damp but not under water! A light daily misting helps. Good luck!
