I suggest some research. If you're going to grow them at least do the reading instead of expecting someone else to take the time so you don't have to.

Found the thread about how shitty grow kits are pretty funny buy mine was only 15 quid then bought syringe of spores from a company I think I found on here 15 quid aint alot of money for a first attempt whether it works or not ill learn a thing or two whilest reading on here learning why it went wrong plus learning the abbreviations which mean nothing at the minute to me haha

No, 30 quid is not a lot. But I spent less than 50 quid on everything (including PC) needed to make that kind of kit myself.
And I was making like 10 cakes a week for over a month, lost many to contamination, but it was a better and much cheaper way to learn the hobby.
Is not what you might have lost, is what you not gaining.
Plus, if you log what you're doing as you doing it, experienced growers will correct your mistakes as you're making them…

Yeah well Im sort of dipping my toe before investing in stuff I dont know about this grow bag all seems well at the moment already learnt alot about mushrooms than I did before but I definitely want a self sufficient type of set up my own spore syringes and im still not familier on the correct terminology but my own home made growing containers my mycelium has pretty much took over the bag now only two weeks in I just broke it all up and mixed about but theres that much mycelium that Its now still quite visible even after a good mixing

Sweating = Bacteria, it is not the worst that can happen, but migth reduce your yields.
It is hard to give you more feedback without more information, whats the casing made out of? Did you mix it all through the bag, because then it is not a casing, did you layer it on top?
How are you going to fruit it?

Its a contamination resistant polymer I mixed the lower layer first then put the casing level on the top fruiting well ive got some reading to do about the instructions say Open bag after mycelium have taken over the casing and place in humidity tent (comes with kit) with dampened perlite place in lower temp and indirect sunlight

I love how kit instructions are written by people who have never grown a mushroom before. It's like the perfect way to achieve plausible deniability. How did we know they were going to actually grow cubes with our kit? The instructions were written so that it would almost certainly fail. Damn the hardiness of cubes
