Could I have screwed my spawn?

I just spawned 4 BRF jars to Moose Poo, at about a 1:3 ratio. I put it in
a trash bag into a 5 Gallon Bucket. But first I turned the trashbag
inside out and sprayed it with lysol ( I know), I then let it dry and
then I added the spawn/substrate. I opened the bag today and it smelt
like lysol and there was no growth. I immediately grabbed another trash
bag, no lysol, and switched bags. Am I too late? Could the lysol left in
the trash bag kill the mycelium?

It's very possible that you did screw the spawn. Lysol plus myc is not a great combo. Scary smells are no bueno. Remember myc breathes too. It's hard to gauge from your question, did the bag have lysol touching the spawn itself? Also, how long ago did you spawn? I have had alcohol vapor smells before and still had a good spawn run.

Its only been 24hrs, I just started thinking about it, and I remembered
that I read that lysol is bad, and put 2 and 2 together. The bag was
touching the bottom and sides, but not the top, I had holes poked in the bag
and when I opened it, it had a faint smell of lysol. Idk, I guess I'll
just hope for the best. I'll check it again in a couple days.

once, i had some green algae looking spots in my fc on my perlite.. it was quite old and i was a little broke.
i decided to take out the perlite, wash, boil, let it cool put it back in the fc.
before i put it back in i decided that bleach would surely kill the algae and that i should probably sterilize the whole fc, without the perlite, with it.
my fc smelled like bleach for a week and everything i had growing turned blue and shriveled up..
my round about point is: it might seem that the chemicals are dried up and good to go but in the long run, trash bags straight from the box are pretty well sterilized, and if you have to sterilize, use alcohol, as it evaporates fairly quick.

Yup, lesson learned. I just hope I can salvage it. Hopefully I caught it soon enough.

Yup, I switched bags, I wonder if I should mist it? I just leave it be?

Could that have seriously killed all of the spawn? Man, I'm really upset
at myself. When I spawned last time, in 48 hrs it was all covered in myc.
This time, there is nothing, just as it was when I mixed it. Maaaaaaaaan.

yea but you've since moved it..
its probably trying to establish itself more on the inside again, before it trys to do much more.

I hope so, I don't want to give up on it. I know mycelium is pretty tough.
If not, I'll find a nice place to put it outside and see what happens.
I'll be birthing my last 5 cakes as cakes, just to be sure I get a print.

LoL, if it grows, I doubt there will be any contams due to the Lysol! Only
if it worked like that!

Its growing, but in clumps, very thick. Not sure about it yet, gonna give
it a few more days to see what it wants to do.

I'm still kindof worried about it though. It had a bit of a funny smell
to it.. Kindof mildewy. I will keep my eye on it though

try to fan more, and mist alittle less. if it is kinda baccy, drying it up a little more will help..

I heard fanning is bad, that it triggers pinning and will slow colonization

well how are you smelling it without opening it?
if you are opening the tub before 100% colonization its screwed anyway and will probably just fruit now.

I wasn't trying to offend you, I was just stating what I have read. Should
I fan it? Should I cut a hole in the bag and put some poly fill in it? I
poked a dozen or so small holes in the bag, but I'm not sure how much to
give it. When I open the bag, I make sure to try to get as much of the air
out as possible.
