Little birthing/ fruiting help?

first attempt at this and been experimenting with some things and just tryin to get some feed back. Started with 3 pint sized brf jars. 2 colonized 25% then just stoped and the 3rd colonized half a pint (pretty sure the substrate was a lil off as it was the first try, to wet). well, birthed the half done pint and brushed off the extra substrate and turned out to a perfect half pint cake(but only 1 inculination site spawned, will that fruit?) also rolled it in a dry verm layer but it seems to be growing threw that and covering it up. also broke up the other 2, mixed with water then put it in a syringe and injected it into some fresh brf and it litterally colonized a whole half pints in 48 hrs.....seems sketchy to me and cant find anything about it. makes it seem like it could be a contam some, sort of white fuzz cause it grew wicked fast

I grew some white fuzz real quick in a whole batch, 14 pint jars of organic rye berries Too fast to have been the good stuff I'm quit positive that my grain was too wet... That; and possibly a dirty syringe
Don't give up, it happens. Through our failures we find success

You thought that you could mix water and a partially colonized BRF cake and use that to inject a new cake?

Welcome to the Shroomery. You need to spend a a LOT of time reading the FAQ about sterile procedure.
Best bet is to make new cakes. The mixture is:
2 Parts Vermiculite 1 Part Water 1 Part Brown Rice Flour
Not hard to get the consistency right, just use jars or measuring cups to measure.
But, again, before you do anything else, go read the FAQ.
And throw away those infected jars. If you open them and let the spores get everywhere, good luck growing for a long while.
-------------------- Let the poor not tear down the fortune of the rich, but fervently build fortune of their own.
Tired of fruiting chambers, glove boxes, and flow hoods?
Tired of getting a few shrooms after all your hard work?
Tired of war, poverty, world hunger, and the government?

48 hr colonization time = mold for sure.
Pint jars take forever to colonize, that's why 1/2 pints are recommended.
The BRF slurry tek doesn't work.
