Help! After Casing Stage No Growth
    #23997893 - 01/10/17 11:18 AM (7 years, 20 days ago)

Hey! I am new to growing mushrooms of any kind... psychedelic mushrooms being my first kind. I've grown herbs and plants before but new to this.
So I bought a kit online to grow shrooms. It came with live spawn, and a full kit and I've followed the instructions. After I mixed the spawn with the substrate ( all pasteurized and sterilized methods used), the instructions said to place it in the bag, in a box ( all from the kit) and place in a warm and dark place... which I did, for 12 days. I did see the mycelium had started to grow through the substrate, and instructions said to soil mix and casing starter and water ( all sterilization methods were used ), put the plastic dome lid over it & put back into the dark for 5 days. After this instructions told me to expose the kit to daylight hours 8-12 hours a day, keep misting the soil to keep moist and growth will start and pinning in 1-2 months. At first I saw white mold looking stuff... I thought it was mold and for 2 weeks took it out. I later found out this was the mycelium growth before it begins to pin... okay don't laugh at me. I am new at this! Then a few days later I saw more, and of course left it. I've had green mold on the surface that I've removed... only a little. Now what has grown has sunk down and no more growth.
What should I do? What could have went wrong? I used boiled tap water that was cooled down for water and misting. Did I stop the growth totally by my error in removing so much in the beginning of growth? Why did what was growing sink down and seem to "wilt"? I've kept the lot in my window, by the heaters at a temp set at 26 degrees Celsius in my room, too.
Can I salvage my kit? It was not cheap.
I was wondering if I should take the soil out and re do the casing stage again? Should I switch to only distilled bottled water? I've also read in other places on the web to keep it in the dark the whole time... some say equal light and dark.
Really super frustrated right now, and bummed out. Would appreciate help.

26C is WAY hot. try 18-22
if you're reading something that says to keep cubes in the dark at any point in the grow it's wrote by a noob or an idiot. cubes enjoy light during all stages from colonization to fruiting.

some pictures may help, also do a little research here and see what kind of methods we use and then try to fix your kit. they set those things up for failure
