I would like to introduce you to my new friend, Myc. (Maz & TC - Pg. 5)

Myc is a young lad, just getting his start in life and a bit fuzzy headed on some issues. He hopes that through hard work and much effort, he will grow up strong and be able to see the fruits of his labors. It would be a nice feather to pin upon his cap, if you will.
Here are some photos of Myc at about 3 days of age.

24 hours later. Myc is already beginning to grow up a bit.

Four days have passed since the last photos. As you can see, Myc is growing up fast!

Yesterday, Myc received a B+ on his first report card. This left him feeling all shook up inside. Here he is after recovering for 24 hours.

And the best of the BRF jars (day 10): 
---
Myc has recovered from his report card and has recently decided to go against the grain(2grain) by dividing his efforts across a few other jars. Here is the best G2G jar after resting for 48 hours and some PF jars on Day 15.
 
Also on Day 15, Myc decided that he was feeling a little bit cramped in his tiny living space, so he forged out on his own. Here you can see his new home under construction (CCVG + 1pt WBS spawn).

On Day 18, Myc was poking his head through the top layer of the CCVG, so a thin Verm casing layer was applied and Myc moved into the SGFC. These photos show Myc approximately 12 hours after the casing layer was laid down.
 
Myc is getting comfortable in his new home. Here he is 36 hours after the verm casing.
+24 hours +72 hours
Indoor Bucket Neglect that was spawned the same day as Myc's casing (60/40 Black Kow/Verm).

-- -- --
Today is a milestone day for Myc. He recently felt some stirring south of the equator when he saw his first pinup photos. At first he thought he felt a tinge of green envy, but realized that it was just a case of the blue balls caused by the slight stress and excitement. Here are the pinups that got Myc all hot & rhizo'ed.

Afternoon update:
 ------ Myc is looking good this morning. Dozens of new tiny pins are making themselves known.

Afternoon update:
 ------
Myc in the morning:
Myc in the evening:

Looking good, Myc!

Evening update:

I went in to check on Myc before bedtime, only to see that he was just about to lift the veil. He and five of his friends decided to move out together to a more dry and arid climate. They expect to lose about 90% of their weight and develop a cracker dry sense of humor. With luck, they will experience many road trips and get to experience all the colors and insights that life has to offer.
Here are the final pics of Myc himself, as well as a few of his friends.

I definitely over-simmered a bit, but things are progressing well so far. Will keep updating regularly. Thanks for the comments!

The water content of those grains looks fine.
Those are also some great quality pictures to show people what germinating mycelium looks like.

BRF looks good. Yeah keep your high quality photos coming, they seem to be rare on this forum. 8 of my 10 are now showing growth. Weather is warming up over here, so it looks like they are speeding up.

I have WBS jars in the same stage of development as you do.  Hopefully, everything goes well for both of us.

No LC, these were all MS from site sponsors. Colonization temps range from 75 to 85.
I'm planning to make up some GLC for long term storage once these G2G jars get colonized.

You shouldn't let them get above 79F, above that is ideal for contam growth...

Agreed, but these were the conditions as they existed.
New photos added of the substrate prep, casing layer and SGFC.

New photos of Myc poking up through the casing layer added. Light is 12/12 at 6500K, temp is 70-75F, fanning 3-4 times daily, misting from a distance twice per day.
Any comments or advice?

MOre FAE, fresk air and evaporation from the sub are the biggest pinning triggers. Mist only when it looks like it almost dry, mist from distance like you have been and fan the crap out of it. Fanning is for GE not FAE, if you are using a mono put a fan in room near the FC pointing awat from it preferrably towards a wall near the FC and measure the RH, move the fan away or turn it down if RH drops too low.

NM i saw SGFC, since it is cased you can drill more holes in the FC or turn a fan on low in the room untill the RH drops to around 88%, cased trays can be fruited outside a FC near a window since the casing holds in the humidity near the surface, I would return it to FC when it pins though. JMHO more FAE=more evaporation=pinning
