I really think that my shoeboxes are contaminated, my first grow though so I'm no expert. At least the yield is very little!

This is how the surface looks, the shoeboxes are about a month old. I used a thin casing layer.

Actually this looks really similar to the images from the TEK that I followed! So I should be good.

Are my shoeboxes contaminated, or to wet, or just normal?

It's just that I'm seeing some funny dark stuff at the top, and the mycelium in that area is not showing any signs of water droplets forming. Could that be an unwanted species sneaking in, or just really wet Golden Teacher mycelium?

Yeah I'm wondering if I should throw it out (if it's contamination), or try to dry it up a bit by introducing FAE (if it's just excess moisture).

Kinda looks like mold at it's first stages. But I'm no expert.

Just pop the plastic off the side of the mycelium so the condensation can run down and so it has more surface area to breathe. You can still get fruits from that although it is less than perfect.




I don´t really know what you mean by “pop the plastic off the side of the mycelium…”

Care to elaborate a bit?

I noticed some green spots in my jars about 2 days after shaking. Didn't see those before the shake. But the green spots really don't seem to be growing much...

Might this be trichoderma?

Here are some pictures, taken soon after a shake, and then two days later:

Jar 1
 

Jar 2
 

Jar 3
 

Jar 4
 

Jar 5



And there here are some more jars with some funky green stuff.



Is this a show-stopper for these jars?

This is surely not expanding, so yeah hopefully not mold.

But I'm not familiar with the concept of bruising. What is that exactly in this context?

I did shake the jars quite vigorously, by banging them on a rubber slipper quite hard. 3-4 bangs resulted in all the grains being loose. Did I maybe overdo it?

Ahhh mushroom bruising! I was thinking it was the grains that were bruising.

Yes I do know that kind of bruising, my brain is just not working at full speed today :grin:

So would this indicate that I am shaking them to hard?
