Its probably mold, I just started and tried 2 different strains on brf cakes and so far its taken about 7 days, 8 days at most to see a sign of growth.

What should I do after that? Should I leave as cakes? Should I break them up and add to peat moss, manure, or coco coir? I know it won't be much, but I want the highest yield.

I've had something similar and it still fruited, I figured what I had came from having substrate that was too wet. I got some nasty looking fruits but I'm 99% sure it was from no FAE and over misting not the bacteria.

I think they look fine. Do you only have 2 cakes?

I have 8 cakes. What should I do after it is fully colonized? Should I leave as cakes? Should I break them up and add to peat moss, manure, or coco coir? I know it won't be much, but I want the highest yield.

Once your cakes are done I would break them up into a shoebox with coco coir. If you need a link to some good threads for coir prep or how to make a shoebox I can post some here in this thread. Just let me know.

Thank you guys. So mushrooms don't grow towards light like plants? They are growing straight up even with an opaque, white lid in the pictures. Also, is it okay to use manure instead of coco coir to mix with cakes and just put coco in top? I'm thinking it will provide more nutrients for the mushrooms instead of just brown rice. It is not that much rice flour in each jar, just about 1/4 a cup. maybe less.

Mushrooms grow towards the light. Gods light that forever shines.

Look at the 45C angle of shadow box corner, is perfectly aligned with the angle of mushrooms. That's divine proof of the magnificence of God's light. Amen

Just want to say careful tipping your jars on their sides. You could shift around the dry verm layer and cause some of the verm that was resting on top to touch the colonizing substrate and contaminate it. You’re probably fine though, very impressive growth, assuming it’s not bacterial. Are these half pint jars?
-------------------- Alice asked the Cheshire Cat, who was sitting in a tree, “What road do I take?”
The cat asked, “Where do you want to go?”
“I don’t know,” Alice answered.
“Then,” said the cat, “it really doesn’t matter, does it?”

Just fill the verm to the rim and the lid will hold it in place... you can play hot potato with a properly prepared brf jar and cause no issue

I didn't dunk the cakes before breaking up. Is this okay? Can I just water the substrate to provide the moisture?

Used as spawn? So long as your bulk mix was field capacity, you're fine... not sure dunking is necessary prior to first flush harvest, even when fruiting as a cake

You shouldn't dunk BRF cakes before spawning them, you'll just end up with slush..
When you break up undunked cakes you get much bigger volume and more inoculation points that way

Thanks guys. I have 2 more question. Do I need a casing layer? I put a mix of peat moss and vermiculite on top, but some of the spawn is poking through because i didn't put that much. How long should it take to colonize the substrate?
