1st time grow, need advice (PICS)

Read to much here the last 3-4 months. Doing my first grow. Here is some Golden Teacher from syringe (sponsor), jars with WBS, spawned bulk with Coir/Vermiculite/Gypsum (bucket pasteurized tek) on 1/8/17. Today I open to see this. Bottom left looks good to me. Top right I believe is cobweb mold.


More reading today and I think im going to make a 3% H2O2 solution and hit it. Do I mist the whole thing or just the top right and around it where I see the cobwebs?
Now my other pan could be doing really well, but it kind of looks like mycellium with cobweb over it. What do you guys think? Good or no?


Thank you guys so much for all the teks and help here! I went from knowing nothing to knowing just enough to get myself in trouble.

Definitely looks like cobweb mold in the first photo, just make your solution and mist the area affected by the cobweb lightly with the 3% H2O2. You should see a pretty decent reduction in the integrity of the mold almost instantly. You can attempt the same on the other cakes, just don't drench your mycellium in h202 because too much will kill it.
Other than that, just get those cakes out of completely open air before more mold spores land on them.
Welcome to the shroomery and happy shrooming.

besides the welcome to shroomery thats bunch of poop.
1st pic is trich. cobweb??? why did you tell him to spray his cakes?those arnt cakes(and thats not cobweb) keep out of open air??
mushrooms need open air to grow. fruiting isnt sterile and mold spores are everywhere anyway.
OP.. thats a toss and redo. bummer
the other 2 pics are hard to tell.. the graying is not cobweb though.

Forgive me for being super stoned then but. Really looks like it could've been an early cobweb or a trich infection right before it turns green by the quality of the photo. Would've been worth a misting of peroxide to see, nonetheless. Obviously I didn't mean cake, and every tek I've read has indicated to not leave your substrate open to the "stale" spore-filled air inside of a house. He's clearly not fruiting the cake yet as the top of the substrate is really only like 15% colonized, which is the most opportune time for the mold spores inside your house to land on the uncolonized substrate. Less spores = less chance of a spore being activated.

the trich is in the bottom left of the 1st pic. who cares about the top? you are seeing something that isnt there.
and why would you correct yourself by admitting its not a cake.. then continue to call it a cake.
pass whatever you are smoking this way.
have one of these..

obviously wasnt a cake. Its spawn still running. I keep it covered with tinfoil in a incubator at 82. Just took cover off for pics. I plan on letting the second pan go, case, then move to a martha. Wish me luck!

You've got to be shitting me. My home is a constant 70. I thought I needed 80 for spawnrun, just ike my WBS jars. Also my martha stays at 71. Wont I need to have a temp drop when beginning to fruit? or will just uncovering it and adding light work?

No need for a temp drop they are tropical...you could colonize at 65 n fruit at 80 with great results
--------------------
  It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn I'm tired do me a favor

Is this true for WBS Jars as well? Im assuming 82 is better but since WBS is sterile (hopefully) you give it optimum temps. But since my bulk was not sterile a 70 is better since mycellium will still form (maybe not as fast) but certain common contams are severely inhibited. Do I got that right? Makes my life alot easier.
Also, I have 5 toothpick sized holes in top of foil covered with microtape. Anything I should change or just let it sit like that at 70 until 100%. Case then fruit

Dont overthink temps its a minor detail just a decent roomtemp is fine for everything
