Gotcha.....so no misting of the bag walls at all...i guess the evaporation process will do that itself (leave condensation on the walls of the bag) Thanks again!

the substrate IS mycelium now. chow chow. condensation happens because of temp differences.

Ok i get it it. so the mycellium feeds off the substrate. mine is vermiculite i beleive. is vermiculite considered a substrate? I know brown rice flower mixed with verm is.... its probably a silly question but just wanted to get things right. at any rate..... the mycellium is groing in to little balls in some psrt, why is this???????? Again sorry for the questions....honestly ive done the pf tek brfore snd learned a lot. Even bre penis envys with pf tek no problem, and that why i went for the oenis envy grow bag or "T. Mckensii" as the company likes to call it. Best shroom ive ever had. And ive had them all, just about, except azures and the gymnopolis species.

balls could be knots or primordia. or bacteria easily distinguished by a pic.
everything inside your container is now your substrate. dont worry about the lingo and kits like that, the makers of those kits usually have no clue what they're doing, you'd just confuse yourself by trying to understand their reasoning.
just keep the mycel and the verm and the entire contents of your container happy, not wet but moist. let it dry between mistings. if it doesnt dry up add more holes. if it dries too fast you can tape some up or close the top of the bag more.

+1 The instructions are usually minimal and sub optimal, to try and make it sound easy when you read it in the shop.
Same goes for homebrew beer kits, on most brewing forums you will see them say the first step is to throw out the instructions. I also ignore microwave ready meal instructions. The odd time you will see a good set of microwave instructions, telling you to do 2mins on medium, add water, stir, microwave for 2mins on full, leave stand for a min and microwave for 3mins more etc. I have yet to hear of a mushroom kit that does the same.

Im opening it up....theres plenty of fae... i dont understand. Maybe the pics dont do it justice. i have barely misted at all today and its not even wet at all...... And why does it look bacterial? I think the pics are bad...it certainly doesnt look or smeo bacterial to me... certainkply isnt soggy, if anything it too dry at the moment.....write back.

You are holding the tray in some photos, this rarely turns out well for photos. If you really must do this try putting the camera on a timer if it has one. Otherwise your hand holding it usually moves a little involuntarily when you press the camera/phone button on the other. If you put the tub down you can move it around until you have good light. The timer, if essential, allows you to resteady yourself.
If you press the button slightly on a camera/phone with the intended image in view, it can refocus and come out a lot better.
I would weigh the tub and keep note, this way you can track moisture content. It should be losing weight a bit as each flush of shrooms comes. You can see if you are dunking too long or misting too much.
