Reviving the sub:
Use some PVC pipes and caps thru the bottom holes of your mono to hold the sub under water. Fill it up. Let it hydrate for 4-8 hrs.  Or you can tape the holes up and use a weight to hold the substrate under the water.
If you used the pvc pipes, drain the water and flip it upside down with the PVC still in.  It will support the substrate. Let it drain for 30 min.
Put back into fruiting conditions. Proper set-n-forget monos use very very thin puffs of polyfill in each hole, just enough to retain humidity. You want maybe 1/20th of the amount of poly I see in your pics.  Run a fan in the room on low, pointed away from the tub. Let em fruit.
I hope this helps. That substrate looks sad :frown:

Oh, it is. That's what a sad, dried up substrate tends to look like.

Are you sure that I shouldnt flip the sub upside down after im done dunking it. Only the top lookes hard and yellow. The other sides look snow white and nice.




I wouldn't.  The top is already covered in contaminant spores and that dry myc will recover just fine with the rest.  You don't want to give a nice wet place like the bottom of your tub for that shit to germinate.
