Looks like Oysters. That is unfortunate. Or a plus, at least it is something useful and not a random contam.

Yea i was thinking the same. I wonder what variety. I rolled down the growbag to expose the pins and moved it into my fruiting chamber. I thought something was fishy when those dense balls started to form seen in the picture, ive seen them before on my blues when it was too much humidity.

Dense balls like that are also what the first stages of Ganoderma primordia can look like. It is even possible that it is two cultures mixed, but if the mycelium balls don't progress then probably not. A friend of mine received a G.lucidum culture that was mixed in with T.versicolor, I got the same culture but have not fruited it yet so I don't know exactly what I have yet.

I would still keep an eye on it, but it looks like it was a simple mix up.

I totally understand this stuff happens. Could have been a mislabel or cross contamination. It was even through a reputable sponsor. I contacted them about an hour ago and they already are working the issue.
