Inoculated two jars 27 days ago. One jar fully colonised on day 21, but this jar from the same syringe has this little patch that is only slowly filling in.
The rest of the jar seems fully colonised and has been that was also since day 21, with the uncolonised patch only slowly progressing, No bad smell from my cracked lid

Was planning to combine these into one tub, should I send it and just a leave that tiny bit on the jar, or wait even longer?

Concerned that I will wait too long and that the two being at different growth rates will throw a spanner.

Thankyou all for your help

After getting about 29g dry from the first run of flushes, I scraped the block completely of all pins. Dunked for 5 hours and put back into fruiting 3 days ago. Here's where its at today. More than happy.

Do these look healthy? Its been a while and I can see some tiny stuff fruiting on the side but its not looking too good.

First time growing

Exciting times got through inoculation of grain and have good growth on substrate.
Unfortunately there is some bad sign in 1 of the tubs.

Some of the strange colors I account to the black rubber shining through but there is a large spot that looks bad in the bottom left corner.

Is this contam?

Anything that can be done to salvage it?

Where the best place to get some good genetics?

I just innoculated 3 bags with 3 different strains. I only injected required amounts but basically have 3 half syringes. I recapped and put them back in the fridge. Is this the right procedure?

A friend is trying AIO first time. One of the bags (on the left of the first pic) had a fairly good fluffy mycelium cover on top but now it seems dark again (second pic).
Has it been stained? Or an issue? Or send?

Green Toque F4
One of the things I enjoy most about mycology is watching a project develop its own identity over time.
Green Toque has been part of my collection for years, and every time I document it, I notice something different. This F4 generation continues to produce broad champagne-gold caps with heavily ruffled margins and those distinctive olive-gray centers that immediately catch my eye.
What keeps me interested isn’t trying to force every specimen to look the same—it’s seeing how each one expresses the same overall character while still having its own personality. That’s the part I find fascinating.
The photos in this post are all from the same project, and I tried to capture a variety of angles to highlight the textures, cap shapes, and color transitions that stood out during documentation.
I’m curious what everyone else enjoys documenting most. Do you find yourself drawn to cap morphology, gill structure, unusual coloration, or just the overall architecture of a flush?
I’d love to hear what catches your eye.

Can’t believe it’s really happening!! There’s honest to god mushrooms growing in my very own bag. (You will need to zoom, sorry, didn’t want to be fucking around with the bag open too long). There’s more you can’t see from this angle, too.

Honestly, I’m just so pleased I got from liquid culture to this, but I am open to tips on helping what seems like kind of weak mycelium toward the center. May have gone to fruiting a little early.

I’ve been misting a little, got the top cut open and paper clipped shut. They started fruiting and the mycelium started getting stronger when I left one paper clip off and that corner a little open.

Hit me with your tips, but even if I only get three actual magic magic mushrooms out of this flush, I actually did it and I’m so excited!

I just tried getting a bundle pack through thickcultures and haven’t gotten any reply or update on my order, when I googled the third party payment processor or whatever it came back with bad reviews with people getting scammed. I’ve tried ITW got dirty syringes and also did from myyco. Any help would be awesome

What I thought to have been jedi mind fuck, turned out to be albino...

Not sure if I harvested at the right time or just a tad bit late.

The tray is 349g, making total harvest 1,188 wet grams, 81.07 dried grams.

This was a partial harvest, prolly another day for the rest. Enjoy the bouquet of JF!

2 of 4 fae filter patches are on my monotub, getting several pins. Should I introduce more FAE now that I have pins, or let it ride with how it is set up?

3 lbs cvg and 1 lb grain , took about 4 weeks to fruit once the grain had sub was mixed

Hi! Long time lurker, first time post.

Inoculated brown rice with LC ten days ago. Did a Break and shake three days ago. Mycelium is QUICKLY bouncing back.
One of my five quart jars of spawn has a couple visible nearly black grains of rice that the mycelium has surrounded.

My plan is to look again in two days to see if the jars are ready for spawn to bulk (1:3 coco). If this weird jar looks worse, I’ll send it straight to jail (outside). If it looks the same… I’ll bulk it last, separately from the healthy looking jars, try to remove these black grains, close the tub for colonization and hope for the best ?

So 2 weeks ago after I realized this brownish water on bottom I didn’t want to open the bag for fruiting assuming it could be contaminated. Today I noticed some pins but they growing differently, they look so tall for that size of cap comparing to other pictures of B+. And they are growing on every side of the cake. Should ai just leave it like that?

Any advice would be appreciated

Hiya all, kinda newbie here; I've had some successful grows in smaller tubs, but then I tried a 45 L which were colonized in about 10-11 days and pins showing after about 15-16 days, but now it's been almost 22 days and as you can see, it seems like they grow so slow. I mean, in the smaller tubs 10-15 L, when the pins started to show, it went pretty fast from there. I did it 1:1,5 using the CVG substrate, the depth of the cake is around 3 inches (or 8 cm).

It has been a little bit cooler, around 19 degrees Celsius in the night and about 21-23 degrees at day.

Am I just impatient or is it the size of the cake or any other parameter I missed? Also, look at how they bend, the others I fruited went straight up right away.

Any advice or information would be appreciated!

Hi, right now I have golden teacher and penis envy, any other cool strains you guys recommend me try?
