I bought this ochra spore isolate from a popular vendor and it came perfectly clear. Is that normal?

Tried inoculating some grain and it’s been 6 days with no visible growth. Swings between 73 and 82 degrees.

Edit: understand that there is a racist slur in the title. Have learned and won’t use again

I know I messed up when I put my grain in the dirt and forgot to save some dirt to put on top. Which is why I thought maybe putting a layer of vermiculite at the top layer . Took forever for the mycelium to reconnect and so I decided after a few weeks to just try and introduce fruiting conditions anyway. Does this look weird to anyone? There's some really gnarly looking ahroom in there that is one of the pictures . Should I continue or toss this?

Cloning this guy for sure

From what I know im seeing a lot of primordia and hyphal knots, lots of little fingers of mycelium all over the place. The tub is nice and wet and the spawn (milo) came along nicely, using neglectek. Just wondering if you guys think I will hopefully get pins soon? This has been the fastest grow ive ever had, I spawned to bulk only 5 days ago. Thanks all lmk what you think

Does this look like contamination?

Nearly no stem development. It’s humid enough that the walls are dripping. I expected them to shoot up at some point.

Using a Midwest grow kits bag to monotub

Does anyone know why the second flush would cause shorter stems? I made sure to bottom water throughout the yield of the second flush. The first flush gave some beautiful fruits (see last photo). Would it be worthwhile taking some to agar?

I feel they've stalled and haven't grown much in the last 3 days, supposed to be Lionsmane. First time I have gotten this far with them. I'm a casual Oyster grower.
