used cow poo from a bag (stupid i know) some wild bird seed, mustard seed, and stevia tea leaves, basically followed this tek http://www.shroomery.org/8398/Preparing-spawn-bags. ; Broke the bags up 3 times in 3 day intervals each time the bag was solid again and showed some white. There is still some condensation int he bags b/c i didnt let the poo dry out  . It seems alright and i have cour preparing now I just wanna be sure as the bags arent as shinny white as the pics in the tek. Here are some pics am i ok?

When was the last time you broke the bag apart? If very recently it might still be recovering perhaps? Maybe leave it for a few days before spawning it...and when spawning if there is any other smell then fresh mushrooms I would not trust it and start again. I have never used the substrate mix you are using but Id assume if it was contaminated that you would see some colorful molds by now...hmmmmm thats a dilly of a pickle

STOP breaking up the bag. I'm trying to understand why I keep seeing people using bags thinking that they're supposed to break them up every couple of days. All you're doing is making the myc burn all its energy trying to recover from constant abuse.
If the growth has stalled or is going slow, break the bag up ONCE. That spreads the mycelium to other areas of the substrate like new inoculation points. But if you keep breaking it up over and over you're just killing the vigor of your myc and slowing things down even more.

Answer these questions and perhaps someone will have an idea:
1:What exactly are you growing? P. Cubensis? Is it MS, from a reputable vendor?
2:Did you read about your substrate mix or are you just experimenting?
3:How much substrate is in each bag?
4:How long was it pressure cooked for?
5:How did you prepare your coir? Did you pasteurize?
6:What was the mix of coir to verm?What was your spawn to bulk ratio?
Even after answering all this, The only way to tell if it will work is to wait my friend.
P.S did the bag smell mushroomy or foul,sour,sweet? ect?

1.Psilocybe Cubensis Reality Benders from hawkeye lc made its good tried it on small jars of popcorn shit looks just like in the pics
2. basically did this " I like to add about 20% by weight wild bird seed (uncooked) to the compost or manure along with some black mustard seed for oils. If you want a potency boost to your cubensis, for example, you can add 3% by weight of Stevia tea leaves! " from ttp://www.shroomery.org/8398/Preparing-spawn-bags with cow poo i should have dried the poo out better kicking myself for that
3 idk more than 1/3 of the bag was filled I read recently thats not recommended
4 3 hours
5 -6 Damion5050's Coir Tek one brick for one bag http://www.shroomery.org/10858/How-to-do-Coir
There really wasnt much of any notable smell that i remmeber maybe sweet?

Sweet might not be a good thing, but then again I have never used the substrate you are using. That coir tek is the one that I use personally, works wonders. Only time will tell mohn, good vibes and good luck.
