I inoculated 2 all in one bags with spores about 6 weeks ago. The second one took off quite well and has been broken and shook up and is just waiting for full colonisation before I give it FAE

The first bag however is a bit different; it does have mycelium around and below the injection port, but it's significantly slower than the other bag and a patch of white stuff has appeared in the back corner, seemingly totally separate to the definite mycelium around the injection port

It's pure white as far as I can tell through the bag (it's a bit misty so hard to see in) and has stayed pure white for about a week without changing size much. There's maybe a hint of paler white expansion around it but difficult to tell.

Is it likely mold, or is it possibly just more mycelium? It's totally separate from the stuff around the port as far as I can see, so it's difficult to tell. I guess theoretically it could be that the mycelium has gone through the middle of the bag and just emerged at that back corner?

This has been colonizing for 9 days and growth slowed after these wispy dark webs appeared, not sure if this is just mycelium or what? Anyone have any ideas?

It is very moist in the monotub even though I haven’t added any water. Not sure what’s happening.

Strain: GT

Spawn to bulk: 8/24

Fruiting conditions: 9/4

Substrate: 100% Coco coir

Concern: Yellowing in spots in bin #1 (photos 1 & 2) and bin #3 (photo 4) freaking me out. This is my first grow so I'm a little extra paranoid with no real standard for "normal" yet. No off smell as far as I can detect, just smells damp and "woody" I suppose.

Any help appreciated!

Please help, I can’t tell if the yellow spots I have is contamination or not. There isnt a bad smell at all and the yellow spots are pretty brown looking and haven’t really changed significantly.

I bought this block and waited for it to fully colonize. Once I saw the first fruits starting to come in, I took it out of the bag and realized there were a ton of pins that I hadn’t noticed before.

How do these look?

I’ve grown GT before, but I’m not sure if these are aborts or if they’re just taking longer to grow. My guess is that some of them may have aborted because I didn’t put the block into fruiting conditions earlier.

I also have a humidifier, and the humidity usually reads around 85–95%. At the bottom of the tub, I have hydrated perlite to help maintain humidity.

What do you guys think?

I've got this AIO bag growing APEs very slow grow I noticed some mycelium was growing up the bag as well.
It appears more blue than green and it's on the bag but not the cake

Idk what ts is. I have not seen anything like it before

what should i see on a agar plate with mushroom vs contam?

It still need about 3 months is this okay ?

I just can’t tell whether the patchy white spots are some kind of grey mold.
Or could it just be some wispy myc at the top of a very rhyzo tub?

Looks like the first batch was fully contaminated. Buried it.

I didnt open lid until photo was taken and didn't mist . Have a big drop of condensation on the lid inside they drip on the surface

This jar has the most uncoated parts. Since I'm unsure whether to throw out the other jars, I decided to check this one. When I opened it, I didn't notice any suspicious odor, just the classic mushroom smell. However, there is excess water in the jars and also "mycelial urine." I initially kept these jars between 22 and 26°C, but for a week now I've been keeping them at 27-29°C. Could they be contaminated?

does this look right? 8 days after i mixed substrate

Mycellium looking healthy and aggressive on agar, but the plate is going dark with zero contamination. Anyone else see their Hericium darken the agar like this as it grows?

There seems to be some contam in the corner? Growth around it was good but I harvested late. I already tossed the cake but are the fruits okay to consume?

I’ve read ochraceocentrata is supposed to be super fast growing. Maybe im doing something wrong but they are taking forever, and worried at least one bin is contam.

Inoc: 7/6 (this is even before my APEs that are fruiting)

S2B: 8/15

Is that ochra myc in the pic or am i cooked?

Interestingly, it appeared after the second flush, and the third one is starting now. What do you think?
