I would recommend letting it fully colonize, then consolidate for a week, unless you get alot of invitro fruit popping up. Do you have a reason to want to birth early? If not... Patience Padawan... The Master Mushie will reward you for it in the end.

You might already have a Contamination...but I hope not...Good Vibes... Are you seeing anything other than white? Like yellow metabolites? Any other colors?...have you changed the environment in any way? Major temperature difference, etc? And then again it might just be taking its time to finish, sometimes that last bit seems to take forever. Are you using regular PF tek lids, short half pint jars? You took off the foil right? Pics would help.

I would take the foil off...the dry Vermiculite layer is the only barrier they need. They need Gas exchange. A little moisture in the jar is no big deal, but alot can be a bad sign. Pics are a good idea. Multispore is notorious for different growth rates...trust me, take that foil off!

The pic with the wet spot is hard to see, but I would take off the foil. Be careful not to disturb your Vermiculite layer too much if you can help it...you mix might be too wet or you might have condensation in your jar. With the foil off and a little more gas exchange... They might dry out a little. Mycelium doesn't like to colonize if it's too wet.

That pic is fuzzy, but even if it was perfect it's hard to know for sure. You can always have bacteria and not know it until its too late. On the bright side, I don't see any other colors, so it may just be a moisture problem. Take the foil off, see if they dry out and start colonizing again. Keep a close eye on them and smell them. If you see or smell anything off, isolate it immediately. Someone else might weigh in, but I would take off the foil and keep an eye on them. Good Vibes and

No worries bro! Happy to help! Keep us posted ...I think it will work out for you... I edited this post because I forgot to mention that sometimes these jars (the tall half pints) stall a little easier than the short ones...taking the foil off will definitely help.
