"Na na the wicked witch is dead"...
I am on topic I got this shoe box spawned on 5/4. It's 1 pint colonized AA+ grain:1 pint sterilized grain (mixed with colonized layers):1 pint coir. I'm kinda liking it.

Hello, i just made my first shoeboxes.
Is it okay to leave them stacked like this in a tub to colonize? My house RH is shit, i dont want it to dry out before its fully colonized
Should i crack the lid for some GE? Any help is appreciated

Hey guys, shoebox here that I spawned 11 days ago. Put it into fruiting yesterday. 1qt oat spawn mixed with 1qt coir with a thin casing of coir. I noticed yesterday a couple small bright white spots here and there, is this contaminated?

Yeah that's fine but I don't think they would dry out in open air with the kids snapped on. They were fine for me during the winter months when it was dry as fuck. Not sure them being lids snapped and in a mono will restrict air further but I don't think either way will make much difference. Either way should be fine
Doesn't look contaminated to me Dr.C, looks like healthy myc bro.

This is a great thread about shoeboxes. Let this be a good lesson to be learned to people who want to be extremely childish after getting proven wrong.

I'm a big fan of the shoebox method. Easy to spawn, easy to harvest, and all your eggs aren't in one basket. They don't take up much space either.
Today's harvest.

So what's the difference between the normal dull white mycelium and the spots that are bright white? Is that a good/bad sign when you see the bright white spots and is it any kind of indicator? And are you saying that the casing layer should get completely white in the next few days?

Yours I think is ok. Trich starts as a thick bright white then turns green. Once you see it a few times you can tell the difference.
I wish this pic was clearer but it's the best I got, the thick patches of white in the bottom right quarter is all trich that turned green in a few days.

My last one fruited some mushrooms. They were really good. I don't put a casing on my grows. I've spawned another tray to see what I did wrong but even that tray is popping out some big pins right now. They are sort of clumped though. I should have grated the cakes. I did the mistake of crumbling it in, was in a hurry that day.

Just took the lid off last night and dubtubbed da bitch. Trying to give it a little FAE boost
I'll be keeping an eye out on this! i do mine exactly like this
 Should look like this above The uneven white growth looks like mold or soaked mycelium its hard to tell. The mycelium should be growing uniformly and the color doesnt look right.
