They look fine to me.  Looks like a couple need to consolidate (colonize the middle of the substrate) before birthing and fruiting them though. 


Otherwise they look great I think.

That is some very thick mycelium. I'm not sure based on just looking at the pictures. Could be ok, could be very bacterial. Either way you should fruit these when they are ready regardless.

How did you inoculate? are there holes in that lid? Because I dont see a dry verm layer.

Yeah they need a little longer to fully colonise

I forgot to put a top dry layer of verm.

So there are holes open to air without a dry verm barrier? Thats not good. Or did you lift the lid to inoculate?

At first it was 2 layers of tin foil as a lid

Then once I saw it start to colonise I removed the tin foil and put these lids on

These lids are supposed to be this special type of vent I think. Not sure tho

But looking at them closer there maybe holes for air to get in

the cakes look fine to me....but based on what you are describing I would say this is impossible. A tinfoil lid with no dry verm layer or filter of any kind could never work...

Can you take better pics? What kind of container are you using? are they from a growkit?

They are plastic tubs from azarius made for shroom cakes apparently

So cos I don't have a dry verm layer, I can't fruit them ???

When I get home I'll put a tin foil lid over these lids and also get some better pics

What pics/angles do you need to better know ? And anymore info you need I'll do my best to describe

Me and my friends are going to try and don't wanna get ill or anything

Thanks
Bud
