Thanks! Goodluck Micofun, it would certainly be a good supplier I would trade but im from the uk and guess most trades are from america.
I will get a clone on the second flush and try isolate that on agar. I have harvested most of the first flush and its currently drying. Hopefully 1 or 2 mushroom outperform the others in second flush so i can get a good specimen 
Here is a update on my pasteurisation bucket -- NO Air Holes in the side or polyfill just my dehydrator lid on top of the bucket, a LOT of fanning and Misting..:P PINS WOOHOO Looks like 3 or 4 of them may grow large, Around 20 small pins way behind them guys. I would never have grown them in a bucket but i had extra substrate and grain so could not waste it B+ Strain MS
 Its a very uneven mix as you can see in the pictured. It was quickly tossed together but with a little care and attention its fruiting

First Flush Weight - 1 Oz Dry Monotub is Looking very bruised

The Agar is going to take a while to grow and isolate so While I wait I'll do another MS Grow with Z strain and Peuto Rican Pressure Cooking in Progress 2 x 2 Quart Rye Grain
 -- I Will create a new thread with the two New monotub grows but will keep updating this one with the current monotub and bucket -- Pic of Bucket shrooms -

Bucker Update --
 Picked around 5 mushrooms so far, Much Fatter than the ones growing inside the monotub, Each Weighed around 7gram wet.
EEK 
 Thrown this petri away - no way was that black mold backing down..
I have 3 dishes now and these are looking Alot healthier but i still have some concerns..
 They are not wrapped with parafilm or anything else i just sealed them in a new resealable plastic bag.

Bucker Update - First Flush Around 150 Gram wet 

Can someone please help me with this - -
This should be the Monotub's second Flush but looks... Odd ? There are healthier pins underneath these small mushrooms. What's Happened? Most are deformed and have a pointy cap.

Thick And Thin :P Both Weighed around 8 gram wet each.


Both are from the Bucket harvested at different points. More Fanning = FAT Fruits, Less Fanning = Tall/ Thin.

A Little help Guys ? Some Advice would be greatly Appreciated. Should I pick these strange looking shrooms ?

I may have not adjusted the polyfil correctly after harvesting the first flush for maybe 2 days Has anyone experienced this kind of thing? Seems good now, condensation / evaporation where it should be.
I am starting to think there aborts. As you can see there are healthy larger mushrooms growing RAPIDLY ( around 95 Degrees Fahrenheit ) IN THE UK today !?

Pick everything that has a black cap (aborts) when you pick your flush. Looks like an fae and temp problem. Adjust holes as you've speculated.

Thank You for the Reply
I Had literally no aborts on my first flush, These do not look like aborts to me ? I believe they may have been the start of the second flush but at some point Fae or something else got messed up ..
I Have Picked the bad mushrooms, Everything seems okay, Other mushrooms are growing and i have a few larger ones apearing, I will get a clone of some + pics.

Took a Clone of my 2 Biggest Fruits to date >

I Added Less nutrients ( Brewers Yeast ) Than the first time around, I hope this will speed up growth. My other 3 Petri dishes are doing Ok but very slow.

Thrown Out the Monotub Today, Got 2 OZ Dry Total and im Very Happy with my first grow I Noticed a black mold growing so cleaned it out and its ready for another Grow My grains are showing signs of colonisation, Around 10%. My bucket is doing okay - I will update with pictures soon, They do seem to be growing a little 'strange' but i believe thats lack of FAE Among with humidity problems.. After this flush I will throw the buckets contents out

I hope you 'threw' it out into the garden, with those daytime temps and chance of a thunderstorm you'll be flushing again in no time

I Don't have a 'garden' I put it in the bin.
I only have a very Open front garden with very little space.. Unfortunately its too risky to grow mushrooms in my front garden..
I Appreciate the advice though, I'll be moving to a new house soon > Hopefully with a back garden. I miss my BBQ's ..

you now have enough mushrooms to get to Mars and back about 15 times.
-------------------- Most of my beliefs I acquired from my father and from John Wayne, and anything that wasn't ultra tough and ultra cool was to me ultra embarrassing. In fact, I lived in a state of near continuous embarrassment, never measuring up to the ridiculous standards I had accepted without question, applied to a framework of expectations neither I nor anyone else could meet.--J C Amberchele almost nothing important that ever happens to you happens because you engineer it. Destiny has no beeper; destiny always leans trenchcoated out of an alley with some sort of 'psst' that you usually can't even hear because you're in such a rush to or from something important you've tried to engineer. ” ― David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

They are some beautiful mushrooms that you have grown, regardless of BE.

Looking really solid man! So far, which method do you prefer, seeing as how you're running a couple at a time.

Drill more holes in the bucket. Always a solution to needing more fae
