First time mono tub

So this is my first tub. So let me tell you all about it... So let me start with my jars. I used whole barley grains, soaked them pressure cocked them and then I inoculated them. They sat for about a mouth which then I made my tub. Where I used horse poo and hay. I used a 50/50 mix with the poo/ hay. And I had a 70/30 poo to grain. My jars are pint and half, where I full them half way. I did not pasteurized or sterilize my poo and straw.. It took two and a half weeks to colonize the tub. And took almost two weeks to where I'm at today. All my pic are in the stages that took place.

Your tub is contaminated.
It is still fruiting, which is a good thing, but it is contaminated.
Nice to see unpasteurized substrate produce something at least.

I think it's the way the mycelium is reaching into the air. Reminds me of this thread / post. Bacterial contamination can cause aerial mycelium.
Looks kinda like this. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18707928#18707928

It doesnt look the same, the mycelium looks diff. and it is also on straw, which not a lot of people use so it is going to look diff. than a tub without straw.
OP what does it smell like? My guess is that it is just some ropey myc

If it was infected with bacteria it would most likely smell funky
I say give it a soak and go for a second flush

Oh even in my jars I have mycelium growth like that. Growing from the sides and from the top growing like rope. I have had that in my last nine to twelve. And had good fruiting from them. No contaminants.

Yeah. I kept it inside. The others I kept outside until they started fruiting and the bugs started getting bad.

I think it is from them being outside, they tend to grow diff. in diff. environments

That in now way means it is contamed, he already stated that it smells good like mushrooms. Bacteria DOES NOT smell good like mushrooms. I have seen many tubs put out several flushes using un-pasteurized sub

cows use unpasteurized sub., and sometimes get multiple flushes..
maybe due to the presence of the "firefang" bacteria which is kinda like an ally to the mycelium, inhibiting the growth of other organisms.
