Here's my true confession about my very first venture in to amateur mycology:
We had no idea what the fuck we were doing or why. Picture this... Two grown ass men in a bathroom that's been soaked with straight bleach from ceiling to floor. Our eyes, and noses are burning and turning fluorescent red while they gush astronomical quantities of fluids in futile attempts to shield themselves from the noxious environment we created. our lungs feel like they're on fire and turning inside out. we forgot to poke holes in the jar lids so he's trying to ram the handle of a toothbrush through... but gently enough not to disturb the dry verm layer... because opening the door to the bathroom to go get a pick or a drill is simply out of the question because that'll contaminate everything so we can't open that bathroom door until all these jars are inoculated. Did I mention that we're dressed ONLY in white tall kitchen trash bags with cellophane wrapped around our heads and scuba snorkels so we could breath that yummy clorox?? yea so you can imagine where all that eye and nose discharge is going... nowhere, its going fucking nowhere. our home made head condoms are filling up with liquid madness while we fumble around for well over an hour with twelve jars but you know what??? we did it. we ram jabbered that tooth brush through tin a total of 48 times and we knocked those mother fuckers out! and we burst out of that bathroom looking like we were walking of the set of a kink.com shoot covered in sweat with white plastic and cling wrap stuck in places we didnt know we had and we immediately collapsed to the floor and vomited and cried and screamed and marveled at the spectacle of the complete and utter torture we had just inflicted upon ourselves. <EDIT> I still laugh to the point of tears remembering this ordeal. None of this absurdity was necessary. I'm still not quite sure what we were thinking with the trash bags... like, it doesn't even make sense why that would be any better than just freshly washed clothes LMAO i guess it made us feel somehow sciency. And the cling wrap around our heads... god i wish i had pictures of our dumb asses doing that!
and you wanna know what else? THREE of those jars actually made it all the way to produce beautiful offspring of their own!

I took a clone from the fastest and biggest growing mushroom from a brf shoebox. I also have a few plates from started from spore. Took the cleanest looking plate and started 5 more. If they look as good as the one befor im going to take it to grain. How many transfers is ok befor it’s good to go I have a T2 from spore that looks pretty vigorous.

I rebuilt my greenhouse recently. Gotta confess to putting the shelves too close together. I planned for 8 inches of headspace to grow. These cambodians wanted to be one footers.

shamanamba, that was such a good story. Golden. I was laughing so hard (with love, camaraderie, and pure hilarity) out loud, my wife didn't know what was happening. Thanks for sharing!

Those do not look like any B+ I’ve ever grown. Malabar would be my guess. Mislabeled print or syringe? If they are active... no big deal right? Just label them “Shroomy Shrooms”
they are cubes and that's an environmental issue
Hey man/Woman I'm Face palming myself. sorry I dont get on daily I just saw your comment. I suspected it's environmental based on the consistency of my 18 shoe boxes avg only 10.3 a piece after the first flush avg total. Perhaps you could tell me how to improve? I would be happy to provide any of my methodology that lead to this to learn as such.
Thank you for your time - mycelium

There's no magic number: clean is what you need... uniformity in structure and curvature
GM, I'd suspect that you're over feild capacity initially, or misting too heavily... it's oversaturated

Are your cams sporeless? Looks so, ive grown one box of cams and they were all sporeless, and grew long as fuck too. Their cool looking for sure, Nice setup!!

Nope, not sporeless. You can see some spore deposit on the stipe in the second picture. They don't really drop until the caps are flat.
Also, in the greenhouse environment there's a lot more air movement than in a tub. So even when I let them go too long the mushroom caps stay pretty clean. (old pic to illustrate)

Side note my big ugly gallon jar is looking to be a hit! LC sure moves fast. Its been 4 days and its at +or- 50%

You have to look for pp5 on the lids for those deli containers....most of them are pp1.. If you're buying online ask seller if the lids are made of polypropylene.. Finding clear lids made of polypropylene was a bitch.. The ones I found were opaque
