on the top of my jars the myc is turning brown should i harvest these bad boys or keep waiting this jar was innoc'd on 9/01 and is the only one that seems to be doing this i guess the sfd hole was a little to large.

in this one you can (almost)see some healthy myc right next to the brown

In the last pic, look at that jar compared to the healthy looking one in the background. Something is definitely wrong with your jar

Leave that jar out of the mix. Some of the jars in the background look good...use those to spawn to bulk and you're good . Though if you notice funky smells from any jars that's another good sign that they're contaminated.

Should have clarified in your OP that you were growing 'truffles'...I have never worked with those. Either way, that jar in the last pic looked bacteria-ridden. And if it had an ammonia-like kick to the smell, it was definitely bad news, unless that's what the stone producing species are supposed to smell like??
Better wait for someone with some experience.

its NP idk why but i assumed someone with experience(TC) would chime in as they usually do so i skimped on the info in the OP and title but I didn't want my truffles to go bad or rot so i went ahead and assumed it was a salvage case, because you were right none of the other jars were browning/greying and this was my oldest jar 9/01.
I got more to play with, and that shit was very strange and new to me it was my first jar i opened i don't feel bad for trashing it i think maybe when it gets old it dries out?
It defiantly did not smell like a fresh cubesnsis jar and that my only reference for "good"
im just gonna keep a closer eye and check them everyday instead of every few days and see if any other go grey.

I don't have any real life experience with stones, but the grains looked pretty typical to me from what I've seen.
I'm not to sure on the smell though, there was probably some slight bacteria but there wouldn't of been any harm in casing some bacterial spawn. It would either work out and mold, or do nothing then mold .
I would of gave them a good rinse and see if the smell was still there.

Yeah seeing how the guide says you can pick the stones out in open air and spawn with no problems a little bac prolly wont hurt, I have 4 more jars so ill be spawning some sometime soon around christmas.
can't wait to get some fruits from these mother fuckers, and my gallery is pretty much my grow log if anyone wants to check it out.
