You sound depressed.. I'd recommend at the least not beating yourself down about it. Sucking at something is a prerequisite to being good at it. If you're having continued issues then you have to use the process of elimination to find where the problems are and tighten up in those areas.

Good work. A lot of genetic variances going on on that substrate.

I like those 3 in the bottom right. Don’t forget you gotta eat the biggest fruit

Harvest it as you would normally, I store mine in ziplock baggies till I’m ready (1-2 hours max), once inside your SAB/Hood break the mushrooms in half with your hands and use a scalpel to remove a small sliver and put it to Agar.

Cloning clones isnt necessary man you already have the genes .. you clone a clone if your culture is lost to mold or something else.
But you would if it was ms rip it in hakf witu your fingers and cut a piece from the inside

Big ol' floppy dicks in that tub. big ol doinks 
Surface looks very good as well.
The B+ in my mono's and shoeboxes make lots of smaller thinner fruits. I'd love to get something meaty like P.E. going

They were so tasty. I couldn't believe I actually grew these.

Definitely looking tasty, I'd have those for dinner any time.

I've always loved nature photography, but surprisingly, fungi never peaked my interest before I got into mycology. Now I'm constantly looking for mushrooms whenever I walk through the woods, hoping to be able to take pictures of some beautiful specimens. Fungi are underrated, and I hardly ever see many nice photos of them outside the Shroomery.
So, for noob confessions... I've been trying mycology for a couple months now, and I just now bought a PC. I've been trying to steam sterilize quart jars of WBS to get grows going, but haven't been able to for months, because I thought my syringe was contaminated with bacteria. But EVERY SINGLE TIME it's been a bacterial contamination. So I decided it's time to stop cheaping out. HOWEVER this is because my very first grow worked fine with steam sterilization only, although those spores did germinate in 2 days at most. So yeah, I just PCed my first jar of grain to do multispore with, and I was SHOCKED to see how dark and toasted the grains were when they came out. Good luck to anything that was living in there.
-------------------- Since beginningless time, darkness thrives in the void, but always yields to purifying light. Many of the world's problems stem from the fact that we allow the values and beliefs of non-human entities to supersede our own. Everything I post is a farce. I'm bad shit crazy, and a god with Photoshop.

Yeah I've been working through the variables. I've put a good Chuck of time into cultivating mold. Really tears on my mental after awhile. You Kno.
