I put the lid back on after dabbing the pooling up. Hope it forms new microbeads, because it had some nice ones before the accidental kick. Should start pinning any day now.

Sorry I'm laughing a little bit visualizing a guy trying not to lose his shit over his girlfriend kickin a shoebox of mushrooms. The girlfriend is never going to understand why it's so tragic and it's going to be very difficult for the guy to hold it together. (In my case anyway).

Definitely going to get some shoeboxes going. I like the idea of minimalizing your risk of contam while also still have a semi-bulk grow!! I have two questions:
It looks like you can fit around 6 shoeboxes or more in the 80qt tote. Would this be a bad idea?
Why use an 80qt tote in the first place, and just have the shoeboxes on a shelf? Because it's lid is cracked?
Thanks!

Well, just in general, you want whatever your mushrooms are growing from to have access to fresh air. The lids are not airtight so you can leave them on, but stacking them inside of a big tote with another lid added would be a bad move IMO
You're blocking access to fresh air by putting them into the larger tote, and now you're also potentially spreading any contams present in one shoebox because now they are all sharing the closed off tote space.
I'm sure you could do it and come out alright though, but these are reasons I would not do that.
Even just stacking them into a closed off closet is not ideal.

I have an AA+ shoebox and its pinning everywhere, but I noticed on the one side there are pins that started up top and are moving down the side. I don't want to remove my sub from the shoebox to harvest them. What would happen if I just let them go through the next flushes, or is there an easy way to harvest them without a chance for contamination

That all makes sense to me. Thanks for explaining that.

Its not hard to lift the sub out to harvest... actually pretty easy most of the time
If you leave bottom/side growing fruits too long, they will start to grow bacteria which you will see as dark spots/streaks and then it will spread around

How big is the contamination risk lifting the sub out to pick off the shrooms?

Yeah, no worries there... its totally safe
Your sub is already exposed to all kinds of molds and contams as it is. If its weak enough to not withstand a lift, then its going out regardless
A bigger problem is potentially breaking apart the sub, which would weaken the myc network

No risk if its fully colonized.Just like handling a brf cake.Makes picking those side fruits a breeze.
 (not quite a shoebox,but you get the idea)

Cool thank you guys. I don't think the sub will break up these AA+ colonize dense as fuck
