This is the first time I've spawned. This is where I'm at.
Any advice would be great.
both of them I'm thinking of growing in their containers.
possibly putting containers in my fruiting chamber.
the long one is already sprouting.
the canister grew a little mushroom inside the mycelium area

you say they're both already pinning? They don't look fully colonized. Pinning before full colonization indications contamination

Its possible the crumbling of cakes caused it to begin fruiting. But most like your coir wasn't pasteurized good enough or not sterile enough during the transfer to coir. Hopefully all is well. Good luck

Sterile enough during the transfer to coir? I think I recall RR saying you can scratch you ass while you spawn to bulk if you want to. Bad spawn or improper hydration is most likely the cause of a contaminated coir grow.
Bulk substrate is essentially a medium for which their is little competition. Unless you make it not ideal for the mycellium to colonize, it's very unlikely to lose the battle.
Bacterial cakes would be my guess as to what's causing the early pinning.
--------------------
I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...

Many possibilities. I wouldn't slack on my sterile regiment though just because RR says.

I think the point RR was trying to make is that spawning to bulk is in no way sterile we do it in open air with no problems especially with coir that shit is super contam resistant I've had leftover bucket tek CVG in a ziplock on my dresser to case untrusted grain spawn,V-TEK and whatever else and haven't had any problems with it and I scraped it outta the bottom of a bucket the day after spawning lol. but I bet his cakes were screwed with bacteria from the start anytime you fail before 1st flush/pin before 100% its from bad spawn IMO/IME but def not from "not being sterile enough during spawning" I've been spawning tubs on my back deck outdoors all summer with no problems and outside air is far from sterile but I still succeed

either poor pasteurization of coir or your spawn had hidden contams. I believe that's the articulate version of what others have been trying to say OP
Like others said, spawning to bulk is in no way sterile. You can lick your spawn, pet your kitty while you work, who cares? As long as your ingredients were properly prepped all is well.

Good idea, do that. Make sure you have enough damp perlite in there!
