Everything looks on the up and up. Make sure to keep an eye on it to keep it from drying out since the top is removed. Interesting how it grew up the sides in a sheet like that.

and don't worry about the metabolites. Bacteria is reishi's favorite food.
You may have issues since you've kept them oxygen deprived for so long, and then exposed them so suddenly to lots of airflow. My invitro bottle grows did great, until I cut off the tops of the bottles, then they all aborted.

Those are one liter bottles, cut off, and you can see in the right pic how it had grown into the shape of the bottle.

Looks fine! That's a hell of a lot of primordia, just hasn't quite turned into mushroom yet. You should see some color soon (that will turn into the "varnished" surface), or pores. Sometimes when it grows weird like that you'll just get random pore spots all up the sides.

That it does! haha, I can't even count how many times people have posted pics of their reishi subs asking "WTF is wrong here?!" The fact that it fights off almost all contam's leads to some interesting looking substrates sometimes

Not sure how you're fruiting that, but do you have the bag on it's side? That's what I would do at this point, rather than upright.

I am curious which species this might be. A simple diagnostic test would be to prick the white part with a pin a few times and see if it bleeds a yellow resin. This will indicate something like Ganoderma sessile or something else in the resinaceum clade.
If it doesn't bleed it might be Ganoderma curtisii or Ganoderma lingzhi from China.
Not something you have to do but it will help you know just what you are growing. G.sessile conks out more readily than the other species.
