Hello,

Up to three months now I have been intrested in psilocybin mushrooms.So,I ordered 1 penis envy syringe and started growing following this tek : http://www.fungifun.org/English/Pftek
Currently I have six jars which colonized fully in 25 days and for 8 days now the jars are in tempreture of 25C,I open white fluorescent light for 6 hours every day and waiting for pins in order to start fruiting my cakes.However,I still do not see pins so should I keep waiting more days or start taking out the cakes from the jars,put them in a container and start fruiting?
(Sorry if my question is a bit dumb but I am worried about making mistakes so I wanted opinions.Also,forgive any english mistakes I made,I am still learning :crazy: )

Here are some photos of 2 of my jars :

Yeah there's the possibility they may not pin until exposed to fruiting conditions.  Go ahead and do yourself a favor and abandon any off site resources and read up on everything here.

With one exception: mushroomvideos.com covers pf tek perfectly, you'd have had the right size jars and everything.

Yeah, as long as you've given the consolidation time (a week after jars reach 100%) which it sounds like you have, get those cakes out and dunk them in cold tap water overnight.

I'm not sure what kind of jars you have, but the look like the taper inwards in the middle, so it may be difficult to get the cakes to slide out. good luck w/ that

It was indeed difficult to take the cakes out,so I broke jars.Right now they are inside tap water(should I have used bottle water?).I am going to buy perlit for my container and we will see how it goes.Thx for your answers :smile:

Tap water should be fine.

Are you following a tek?

Those PF teks are out dated.  You'd be better off using a newer one like this. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/15223324#15223324

I believe I have a contamination problem.It's been 2 days since I put my cakes in a container and I saw some blue spots growing.I mist them 4-5 times daily and I turned on the fan for 2 hours each of those 2 days.Also,I believe I put enough perlite in that box(I stirred the perlite very well before adding,I dunno if that is good or bad.).However,I did not use a light source,there was enough light during the day that I switched the lights on and did not notice much of a difference,so I decided I did not need them(I did not expose the cakes directly at daylight).My second mistake was not sterilizing the verm before rolling them after I had put them in the water and lastly because the temp is high around 27-28C they look a bit dry.Do not ask me about humidity,I do not know how to measure that.

I looked around google and found that these spots could be caused from dehydration which I hope otherwise I have to start from the beggining.Here are some pictures:





What's your opinion?Should I throw them in water for some hours more or throw them away?

Those look... really weird.

I see you're using the coarse verm when you should be using the fine verm.

The blue isn't even the problem there, some of that mycelium doesn't even look like cube mycelium...

But maybe I'm wrong, stand by for further analysis.
