ok so I have some jars, all from MS, going on about 4 weeks now. I don't know if they are doing well, looks to me a bit different than all the other pics I've seen here.
Here it goes:

yea they look a little wispy but are you using oats or rye?
almost looks like oyster mycelium before it thickens up but I think they're fine give them a good smell before spawning them.

all my rye looks the same. I believe it has to do with to low of a water content. i have noticed with wbs being drying you get wispy mycelium and when its wetter (or the correct water content) you start getting into rhyzo growth. just what ive noticed on the past 20 or so jars ive done while locking in my teks

Looks like the same results I got from multispore inoculation. Takes forever, seems like nothing is happening for a long time, made me doubt it was working at all. (It eventually did.)
Try inoculating with an agar isolated monoculture next time. You should see much better results.

updates: so I g2g-ed some jars, and spawned others to 2 minibuckets of CVG that have been sitting tight for 8 days now. Do they look ok ? When can I introduce fruiting conditions ? It's my first time at this 

There is some condensation on my shower caps I see, but I'm afraid to take them off until I feel it's the right time. There are a lot of wispy white thingys on top so I figured i'll give it a few more days then switch to fruiting.
Eternalpeace: I tried inoculating with agar on 2 jars and both got contamed, now have 5 or 6 more and they're looking good and going fast, hopefully this time i didnt fuck up

Hmm read around a bit and saw a lot of people let their bulk grows consolidate for like a week. Should I give these guys another week? I am getting impatient but I've been trying to get to this point for a month and half now so I'm not gonna fuck up now just because I couldn't wait for a bit more

Ok back with another question. Checked one my jars today and I can see a greenish tint on some grains. I tried to snap an image but this stuff is hard with the phone no macro lens.
 
Right there top center. It seems greenish, but not intense green, and it's also covered in what seems to be mycelium so idk.

Ok so my shroomies decided to answer my questions for me 
 
Check top center-left . It's now official, after 2 months of reading and trying my hand, I have grown my first shroom rofl. Getting past my excitement, this guy showing his head so quick could be a bad sign ? I quickly removed the tape from the top holes and stuffed some poly lightly, and for the bottom holes just used micropore tape.

thanks, but I am concerned. One of the mushies going ahead of the pack while it was supposed to be colonizing means that I messed up with something. Either there is too much evaporation in my buckets, which triggered early pinning, either there is bacteria and the mushies are trying their best to fruit fast. Am I wrong ?

Well there is some yellow piss, not a lot of it tho, and from what I read around here, it can be bacteria contam or it can be nothing at all. Damn straight they were lacking fae they were in colonization/consolidation mode, and a guy just decided to fruit, I'm just trying to figure out why he did that. Will come back with some pic in 10 mins.

Ok so I tried getting some better pics.
 
Should I mist it a bit ? I dont understand why just that one popped up. Are the white dots knots ? Or maybe this will be my one shroom bucket haha

the tiny white knots are knots 
the larger lumps of white is probably a reaction to bacteria, just give it lots of fae!
