Update: they seem to be growing, they look a bit strange but they are growing
Would they be safe to eat is the question... Making a tea might destroy the bacteria? I'm not too sure how to handle this situation.
Here are the pics anyway, tell me what you think .
PS: I had to smash the glass to get the cakes out (Throwaway jars so it's fine) and it cut some of the pins which probably halted growth (like the blue pin).
But tell me your opinions .

So you are asking if pins that grew in-vitro are safe to eat? If so, yes they are. Unless they have actual mold growing on them, or they are rotten or something, they are usually safe.

Thanks a lot for taking interest I appreciate it.
Do you recommend me making a tea? Or have you never done that before?
I'm waiting for my perfectly healthy PFTEK cake to 2nd flush so I can take a spore print and start again.
Heres the first pin of 2nd flush.

Sometimes i make tea but usually I just powder them with my coffee grinder, and then put it in some lemon juice and then drink it.

Have you tried drying using the oven method? I would grind it up but can't when its fresh.
I don't have any desiccant but I could put the shroom by some rice and fan dry it for a bit and finish off with low heat oven with fans on it?
Appreciate the advice

Honestly, no I haven't tried any of those things. I just got a cheap food dehydrator, and j wouldn't trust anything else. I know some people do say that oven drying can work, with oven and fan combo(or if the oven has a fan in it) but honestly, food dehydrator can be bought for so cheap that it's almost silly not to get one. They are like $30 for decent ones new.

Yeah for the first couple years of growing I did fan dry for 24-48 hours on a shoe rack, and then put them in the oven on the lowest heat for 1-2 hours to get them from spongy to cracker dry. I didn't even crack the door when I did it too.

Does your oven maybe have a fan in it mad? Like is the top, possibly? Just curious.
