My Mycelium is all mad stringy and cottony. Its supposed to be Amazonian spores. Ar these going ok?
First grow so I dont have anything to gauge it by.

Its basically the same, but in tuppaware cups. I think Ill be using these in future as they were fine in the Pressure Cooker fine and have been fine so far without the weight of glass.

I've never seen anything like that before. Definately not the traditional way to do it, but hey, whatever works works, I guess. The growth I can see looks OK, but thats just speculation.
How did you make those cups? Is it just a cup covered with foil? I don't see anything covering the holes in the foil. If those holes are open you will more than likely get a contamination.

Thats a result from working from multispore. You wont know till your fruit. Ive hard farily cotteny jars fruit ok. I have always had some rhyzo growth though.
when you birth you will know by the smell, nice fresh earthy mushroom.
I have 2 suggestions for you.
Get smaller drinking glasses
Like these
And also remove that foil lid, dont cover your inoculation holes.

How did you make those cups? Is it just a cup covered with foil? I don't see anything covering the holes in the foil. If those holes are open you will more than likely get a contamination.
using a dry verm barrier? thats the main thing. a cover is a cover. im pretty sure foil will work fine. the dry vermiculite acts as a barrier from contams not the lack of holes in your container. e.g. :
leave some unsterilized vermiculite lying around. anywhere. would you expect to see mold growing on it?
you need holes for the myc to breath. they need air too.....

I just told you in another thread, which you hijacked go post in the contamination thread.
Do not hijack other peopels threads.
start your own thread.
again, i will answer your question once you post your own thread in the appropriate forum.
Dont post the same thing across multiple threads or forums.

@ OP

actually the growth looks fairly rhizomorphic. looks pretty decent, and as it should, to me. what size, roughly are those *jars? btw.

The taller glasses are just shy of half a pint, the smaller cups are, ehh smaller.
Yes, They do have a dry top vermiculite layer to keep out contams.
Bar the jars Im using I'm following the simple PF tek pretty closly and plan to dunk and roll into a shotgun terrarium after dunking and rolling and using a nice thick bottom layer of pearlite.
I'm Going by the book. Everyone throws out different advice about taking the foil off, leaving it on, taping it up etc etc so Im just following the guide for now and so long as its not turning green and its healthy Im sticking to it!!!!

Everything in that workspace from the counter top to the jars are seriously fucking filthy and those things are disgusting.

Chronosync is right, the verm is fine. Sorry for the confusion, I should have asked if you used verm before I said you will get a contam. I couldn't see the verm in the pic so I guess I assumed you didn't have one without thinking twice about it.

Looks like you've got some pretty dense rhizomorphic growth there.... I'm gonna say they look good to go.

its not the capicity its the shape of the jar. They are tall, which is more likely to allow the substrate to compress neer the bottom making it harder to colinise. I used jars like that before and changed them for drinking glasses that are as tall as they are wide, as they were tending to stall neer the bottom.
Leave the foil on until it finishes colinsie, they dry verm layer shuld still protect it with the foil off, but it will allow to much air exchange, which can dry out the sub and trigger invitro pinning before full colinisation.

that is funny...
what book says to use drinking glasses instead of jars?
granted, that growth looks healthy, but no respected guide would say to use drinking glasses and completely remove the foil...that shit is just crazy

while it may not be convential it does work, and i have successfully used it many times.
Some of us have a hard time finding suitable canning jars for the pf tek unless you order them from the US and delivery os 3 times the cost of 12 jars.
I do agree that canning jars are the best choice, and also that the foil shouldnt be removed during colinisation
