Some of those are aborting and won't grow further.

Yes but save them. They can be potent as hell.

Thanks for the info. Should I be doing more than misting? The surface has tiny little water droplets all over it, I mist several times a day. Should I pour some water down the side of the bin so water can get underneath?
Obviously, moving forward you should avoid letting the surface get dry enough to form that weird crusty layer.
In my experience, that shit will often get in the way, and be a point of entry for contaminants when it starts to rot.
When I fuck up and end up with that layer, I usually just kind of pull it off to allow the myc underneath to flourish and pin.
Trich spores come off onto your finger with the merest touch, and form a cloud of green spores with the slightest breeze. If it's just looking like dried mucus, then it's probably not trich.
-------------------- Beware of advice- even this.

Thanks, yes the yellow/pale green stuff is noticeably dry, while areas that don’t have it I can see the tiny droplets of water, so I’m pretty sure I’ve got the dried out problem solved and all the discoloration is just left over from my screw up. So I should pull off the discolored stuff from the substrate? I have pins and some shrooms growing all over now, they look very healthy with no odd colorations or growths on them.

I say let them grow and don't rip up the dried stuff yet. I had dried myc before and it took 6 flushes before contamination set in. Plus my myc reclaimed the dried stuff and it fruited from where it was once dry. Up to you though, it's your grow.

I’ll just let it ride then. This is my first grow, so worst case I’ll lose it and it’s just a learning experience. I’ll do better next time. Thanks for the info.

That does not look good. Mold from what I can tell, but either way it looks like it's time to start over to me.

Just to explain, I have these shoeboxes that got weird, I think because my dumb ass forgot to put a light above them on the high closet shelf where they live. I just had ambient window light and a lamp across the room. They colonized for like 2 weeks like that until they started pinning. But I got all these side/bottom pins. So I put up a light and I tried flipping the whole substrate and they’ve responded pretty well.
Only concern now is what seems to be aerial mycelium but I’m not positive. I’ve had a hard time finding pics of the same growth up the stipes. I harvested a handful already, folded ‘em in a paper towel and popped ‘em in the fridge while I decided what to do. When I pulled them out the white fluff was completely flat. https:// https://
Please if anyone can educate me, I would be grateful

I haven't seen this type of myc in my short time doing this but I could make a guess. IMO it looks like it's dry and starving for FAE. Please don't take what I say as being mean. I say dry cause the fruits look like mine do after being in my dehydrator for a couple hours and you have yellow mycelium. The fuzz growing on your fruits are a sign of low FAE or some type of contamination I have not had experience with but I would lean to lack of FAE. Although it's not on all of them. So maybe it's not a FAE problem. I think you could try misting a bit and see how long it takes to soak in. I'm sure someone with more knowledge can help you out better than me.

I found some deep red streaks on the grain in my spawn jar. Not sure if its a contaminant or what (it probably is), besides that it seems like all is well I'm more curious as to what that red "stuff" is to prevent it from happening Hopefully its not too bad




anyone know what the red stuff is? is it a contam?

I'm not too sure about it but your grains look a little wet and sticking to the jar a bit so with that and the red I'm going to say a bacteria of some sort. You can probably still spawn it or top fruit the jar to get something out of it.

This is pan cyan myc. I’m suspecting it is bruising but can anyone confirm?

Hello, I'm new bear with me. My jar was colonized on all sides but the bottom. This morning I recognized this ugly looking slime. There's no salvaging this by scooping the top, correct? I'm going to put this in a trash bag within another trash bag for now.

Instead of tossing it out, throw some substrate in* there and top fruit it.
