Does this look ok? it's getting a yellow/orange color that's spread quite a bit in the last 48 hours. the fresh mushroom smell has kinda gone away but not really replaced by any other odor.
this is day seven of sunlight exposure. it got direct sunlight for about an hour the first 3 days then just secondary sunlight exposure.
this is Malabar. inoculated in a 5 grain spawn bag from midwest growkits then mixed with one of their bulk casing mixes (Coco Coir, Vermiculite, Hydrated Lime, Gypsum, ph buffers, ph stabilizers, mineral water and a few other choice ingredients).
I don't think it's too dry, there's moisture beaded up across the entire surface at all times. it's opened every day for a minute or two for a little fresh air exchange and daily misting of the sides of the container

It's bacterial. You prob over hydrated them or didn't have clean spawn, you might still get one small flush from it.

sigh. so much work... directions called for daily misting. it seemed so moist that i actually avoided misting for 3 days when i introduced the spawn bags to the casing mixture but still too much moisture huh? is there any way to tell if it's too moist?

Yeah that looks contaminated...I personally would toss it but to each their own. Seems to me too much misting and not enough FAE.
Here's a good write up on surface moisture you should read up on. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23999053

PC? TEK? i'm such a noob, there's so much terminology i don't understand. it took me weeks to figure out what FAE stood for. is there a place to look up the terminology?

Dont waste your money on kits. Find a notebook, do some research, write shit down and try doing it on your own. The feeling of accomplishment is amazing and yields are almost always better once you get the hang of it.

You can reuse it but make sure it’s cleaned very well. I always wash my tubs with soap and water, follows by bleach or 70% isopropyl alcohol (sometimes twice), followed by soap and water, followed by water once more. I probably overdo it but I figure it’s better to be too clean than not clean enough

Yes you can. Just make sure you dispose of the contamination outside your grow room. Then before you bring the tub back in to the room clean EVERY nook and cranny of it with either isopropyl alcohol or bleach or lysol wipes. Also wouldnt be a bad idea to clean the grow area as well. Something strong to kill all the bac

The step you didn't do was probably to put the spores on agar first. But it's not a bad attempt for a first few tries.
You can either have some patience and see what happens, maybe you get some fruits and maybe you can make some spore prints then do some research on pressure cooking and agar to grain to bulk for next projects ^_^
..Or toss it, like they said, up to you really.

If you do let it fruit you'll need to make tea out of your fruits. Its contaminated....I wouldnt want to eat those and risk getting sick.
Also dont try making spore sprints from a contaminated grow?!?! You're just setting yourself up for failure at that point.
