I wouldn't call that picture a "nice flush". I don't mean any offense by it, but it's not like you got a beautiful first flush and then you were contammed. It's more along the lines of, your contaminants were probably taking hold while your myc was colonizing. The myc had enough strength/vigor to flush once and then it was overtaken by your contams.
As k00laid pointed out, your sterile technique for grain was non-existent. Use jars w/polyfill or tyvek at least. This is the first place you gave contams a chance to take hold. Then, I don't understand why you poured your colonized grain into a bag and broke it up and allowed it to reknit. I don't get what you were going for here, but the numerous holes with no filtering mechanism probably allowed contams to get in here as well.
If you actually follow proper sterile technique, you will probably get more flushes of more mushrooms.

You answered your own question. The green mold was contamination, meaning that you've got to improve your sterile technique. Also your punctuation.

well i can respcet that scathing but helpfull i consider it a success cuz thats a lot of mushrooms for one man to eat thx for the help what would be a good way to get the grain from the jars to the fruiting container withought making it "reknit" and this was my first so im thinking about plastic lids with reusable filter patches to fix that then fruiting container idk i've seen tubs with drill holes and polyfill in the holes something like that and i already use glove bags fruit the success of labors.

also i thought i would be able to see contamination of the jars if that was the problem the jars where fine milky white then when it reknit it was a beautiful fuzzy white brick no mold visable i only noticed the mold after i cased and started picking mushrooms? punctuation lol real cute punctuation marks are handcuffs to a poet arrogance is a buffer for insecurity i truly appreciate you alls time but very condescending and a little rude i thought a psychadelic mushroom community would be a little nicer and more patient ahh but the ills of the world when we no longer communicate face to face

Not hearing what you want to hear is not others being "rude". Lurk around and study a tek and follow it. I'm surprised with all the "holes" that you got any results at all. I think that's what koolaid was trying to say as well. You could always UTSFE and not even have to post because no matter how unique you think you are, "YOU'RE NOT". The same question has already been asked. And if you don't have some sort of dyslexia or other good reason for the way you type your post then that's the only "rude" thing I see in this thread!

Look man, you may consider punctuation to inhibit your style, but honestly, the lack of it makes it damn hard to read and comprehend what you are saying. If you actually want to receive help, you should make it so people can easily read your posts. It's rather unseemly for you to ask for help and then get annoyed when people trying to help you let you know that it's rather difficult to do so as a result of the lack of punctuation in your post.
As far as allowing the myc to reknit, I'm still unclear. Once you have fully colonized grain jars, you crumble them and add them to your bulk sub. There's no need for them to be combined and recolonized prior to spawning to your BS. Additionally, it's quite possible that due to your lack of sterile technique, the centers of your grain were contaminated, while the outside appeared picturesque.
Where was I condescending? Where was I rude? You shouldn't get annoyed that you received responses like read up on the teks, UTFSE and actually use sterile technique, because you didn't and these are all simple steps you could have taken to avoid the problem you encountered which resulted in you making this post.

Preciate it man you seem like your truly trying to help but i broke up the grain and cased pure grain no bulk substrate just a grain casing also since i broke it up i would have seen the contamination let the jars colonize shake em into a fruiting container let it grow into a solid brick and case thats what im saying you can see from the picture theres no contam on the casing im pretty sure its something im doing after casing causing the contam there no need to be offended by my communication if its not true i believed myself to be very polite dont answer if you dont want im not twisting anyones arm get off your high horse im a person meet me in the flesh and im sure you all would be much more polite not for any reason as people arent as rude in real life if you guys talk to real people like this you wouldnt have any friends

haha...dont know?
nobody knows because there are so many wrong aspects in your technique it is impossible to tell when or why the shit got contaminated!

That is nothing new at all STOP People have been communicating without periods for years STOP However; it has always been the duty of the conveyor to speak the audience's "dialect" as well as possible STOP As such, it is foolhardy to expect an audience to successfully make the "leap of understanding", when no effort by the "speaker" has been attempted STOP I wish you all the best STOP

The spawn was ok. Tape injection points are fine. If contaminants slip through they will make themselves known. The biggest issue that I feel I've fixed. Is simplifying fruiting and incubation. Just crumble and case no incubation by not continuously shocking its environment I get more even colonization and pinning. Also steam sterilize the casing mix.
