And yeah, totally! Definitely will be once we start to harvest. Live culture would make sense... when I looked in the solution of the Tasmania spore syringe... definitely seemed like culture floating around in there. But also seemed like lots and lots of spores too.... So not exactly sure. I'll have two more cakes to birth soon. I do have a question about that though - should I go through a certain procedure to help kickstart the pinning process in the jar? Or just let it happen organically until pins develop?
THX in advance!
I prefer not to wait for the cakes to pin in the jar...once they reach full colonization, I wait a week for the cake to consolidate, then birth, dunk & roll, put in your SGFC, mist, then fan right after you mist (this helps kickstart surface evaporation which helps trigger pinning)...Hope this answers your question... And...Welcome to the Shroomery!!! Good Vibes and Keep us posted. This place has Amazing people that have tons of knowledge, Keep listening to them and you'll succeed. I like your attitude, so I gave you a rating.

Not trying to be a dick but

The two cakes that look fully cased are Amazonian.
cased is something that is done after full colonization and consolidation and after the cakes are dunked and in fact is not necessary. Casing is simply when you add the final layer of verm to the cakes or final layer of CVG or, whatever you use as a moisture retainer, to the substrate itself.
Look up uncased vs cased grows. Many people make this mistake but if you want precise help you will need to know the lingo used on here.
Those two cakes look fine but do know that any place you get the spores from will tell you they promise 100% contam free but they most definitely are not. Contams can get in at any point at all. No grow will be 100% contam resistant...EVER.. theres always room for human error.
Also, you may want to rethink the idea that darker syringes are always better because more spores can cause it to take longer for colonization. It only takes a single drop from the syringe to inoculate. All it takes is spores hitting the right environment for them to begin growth. Its a waste of spores to have such a large amount inside the syringe and having that many spores shoot into a cake for inoculation can be seen the same way. If they are dark enough I am sure you could find a way to get 2 syringes out of a single one.
Also, IME you will need to mist a different amount than everyone else because everyone has different environments that they grow in. Some dryer, some wetter. I mist and fan mine only 3 times a day and sometimes once more if I notice they look dry at any point. You should be able to see if they need a misting because they'll lack their usual shine.
