Well I've been lurking in this thread for a little while now thanks to the suggestion from Enkidu and thought I would contribute with my current Shoeboxes and get some feed back from you guys.
I have 5 boxes currently fruiting B+ Clones from a BRF cake, all are roughly a 1:1 Spawn:sub ratio, all of them were rye berries mixed with Coir/Verm/Gypsum. 3 of the 5 boxes the grains were rehydrated after colonizing (submerged in water for 12 minutes or so before spawn) and 2 were not hydrated pre spawn (boxes are labeled 1ND (not dunked), 2ND and 1D (Dunked), 2D and 3D). 1ND and 2ND were not cased or sudo cased, they have exposed grains on surface of the substrate. 2D, 3D and 2ND were "sudo" cased meaning I saved a little substrate for the end of the spawning and put it on top after mixing the rye and the substrate.
Here is the Dunked fruiting chamber (1D - 2D - 3D)

Here are close ups of each tub:
1D :

Was that clone a mutant? It looks like a lot of them are growing shrooms from the shrooms lol that’s cool looking.

Yeah post pics bro, why would your spawn be fucked ? A week of full colonization is fine unless you mean bacteria or contam
Yeah I am worried about bacteria. Here is the tub's progress now:




There is some sketchy shit going on with these at their stems. And I don't remember seeing any pictures where the myc was so fluffy like this.

Woah. Lots going on there.
Uhh maybe needs more air, based on how tall and skinny some of the mushrooms seem to be.
Not sure.
Where's mushboy...? Someone put the mushboy signal into the air so he knows he's needed
Mushrooms growing which is cool though

Okay, I didn't see the green stuff, but if they are actual shoe boxes they should be separated rather than in a big chamber (not claiming to be a shoe box expert or anything, just using the accepted logic here). I would be interested to see how this greeny stuff plays out. Might be bruising, but have you bashed it?

You could try and get a print through (if you need one) but beyond that I wouldn't recommend much besides the toss.

Ahh man that seems like the fun part! I just started agar work while waiting on my first grow and it’s fun to me. But I guess after you do it for so long it becomes work.

Sometimes thats how I feel. That’s why i like shooting spores into jars. Yeah some go bad but you can g2g the clean ones and have buku spawn. The last vendor syringe I used put out 10/10 clean jars anyway

That's all good bro looks like a nice box to me man 
Wait a minute and harvest or harvest whenever ready.
I usually latch the lid right back on then wait a day or so then add water, let it sit a few hours,dump it out, then dub it and just let it sit till it oushes out the next flush

You got more stuff in the works?
I wouldnt keep that myself but I also have boomers already.
And agar ready for drops so wouldn't take super long for me to replace a box.
If you worked hard on it I would cut them.off above that yellow shit on the stem if I used them idk wtf that is myself but looks scary to me.
Then I would throw them in tea just to be safe.
Water to boil, throw in shrooms, bring to simmer for 10-15 min then pour.
If you keep the boxes I would give massive air to them

But also looks scary and I myself wouldn't touch them or give them to people.
Maybe make a thread and ask in mush cult for more advice
