Frank, that is very disappointing if that is true. I saw pins coming through before I cased. Its also not fluffy, that is some of the chunks that I couldn't get broken up well enough, also that picture is right after I misted.

Better picture of pins

Those dots aren't pins..those are metabolites or possibly wet blotch :frown:

Was that casing pure peat moss?  Looks like seed starter w/o verm. 

Yeah Frank.  Looks bad.  His substrate mix seems odd to me, but I don't know about working w/ poo so I may be wrong.  20% gypsum?

It is miracle grow surface control put a 1\4 inch thick. This is extremely disheartening

Maybe I'm alone here but I'm not sure that substrate is going to fruit.

Thick fluffy mycelium, yellow spots, excess moisture. Looks like a real bad bacterial problem to my eyes :frown:

You asked if there is anything you can do.

Just fruit it and fan it out once a day.

If that doesn't work, it's not going to fruit.

Next time, make sure you use clean grain spawn and a more suitable (and properly pasteurized) substrate.

Thanks Frank. I thought that I was using a suitable sub. I have heard great things from cow manure, and it was properly pasteurized I believe. I'll update ya'll a couple days after Christmas.

Decided to cut into a little piece of my substrate and sure enough, horrible manure smell. Hardly colonized and wet as shit. Complete loss. I am not sure, I think that I may have killed the myc as it may have gotten to hot inside my closet. I know that I properly pasteurized the cow manure, but I will be doing horse manure this coming time around. :frown:

Thank you for everyone's help through this, I probably should have just fruited my cakes so I had something...but I am a gambler-->all or nothing

I feel ya there with gambling.
But you could always get into cultures, and keep one culture going for months.

So you never actually lose out  :-)

Your substrate sounds way too dense man.  And it probably wasn't at field capacity from the sound of it.  You'll get it next time.  Just follow a successful substrate ratio.  Once you get a few grows in, then start experimenting.
