Seriously, just start a new run. You can only learn by experimenting, just start a new run and take what you learned from the last one. You caused it to pin by giving it some sort of fruiting trigger and/or contams. Break your process down and try to fix it. Thats what makes any hobby fun - trial, error, learning then reward. And patience is a must.

definitely understood.
i plan on dunking the 1 bag thats pinning nicely and putting it into a FC when the time comes (even though the substrate doesn't look very colonized)
I'm just curious about the 2 colonized bags I have in the FC now, what do you guys think about them?

yeah, i am letting the one bag fruit in the bag, check it out
 A bunch of the mushrooms are 6-8 inches already, some are only an inch. I'm going to have to pull the ones that are really big pretty soon so when I do cut the bag open to harvest a few should I put it back into a FC to finish the 1st flush? I'm assuming thats what should be done, I could be wrong though.
Still wondering whats going on with the othe two bags I currently have in the FC, they look like they have recolonized but haven't started pinning yet

Cut the bag then put them in the FC let the biggest ones mature i'm guessing it will only take a day or two then harvest the biggest ones then watch those little cute babies take right off

Just did that, pulled about 7 monsters, came out to 140g wet, still a boat load on the cake in the FC.
After I harvest the entire 1st flush would it be a good idea to get rid of the bag all together to get more side pinning/ maximize surface area of the cake? On the other hand, I know the plastic keeps the humidity really nice on the side of the cake.
The other 2 cakes in the other FC are still fully colonized but haven't pinned.

Id keep it in the bag and use it as a dunk tray soak 3-6 hours or longer depending on how dry it is then drain and back in the FC for the second flush

The 2 bags that people told me to throw out 


2 or 3 of the mushrooms have a weird white film on the caps, anyone have any ideas?

I originally thought the 2 bags had yeast (since i had white specks everywhere)

The white spots DO NOT wipe off, I had to pick them off. They felt like flat beans.
Here are some pictures of the substrate after the dunk and the few mushrooms with white spots

haha thats absolutely fine. munch munch munch away. those are just normal mutations and some are flat because they were either pressed against a bag or another fruit.
