So why does my pinning and growing suck so bad? I am not getting anymore baby shrooms and my other shoebox is not pinning at all.

How are you keeping them, they don't look to wet or to dry, are they getting enough air? If I have an sb that won't fruit it usually ends up contaminated, that's just my guess.

Where you keeping that? You've got a few signs of over misting/too wet of a substrate.
Those weird bumps on the top of those caps, dark color of the caps=too much moisture ime.

What kind of lighting are you using? How close is the lighting
(I think mushboy is onto something with the excessive moisture in there but also the few fruits that are growing kinda look like they're lacking a good light source)

what is your method of gas exchange? what temp is the substrate? though it looks like you've been over misting, what is your Rh?

Thx for the reply guys.
I think I can rule out contamination. This is my lighting.

Many times contamination doesn't show itself, like I said if my subs dont fruit in a normal time frame it is usually contaminated. Not always but typically if they don't show in 3 weeks its into the compost pile with them. How long have they been spawned and in fruiting conditions.

And I thought growing shrooms was easy. Like everyone on a lot of threads is always like "THEY LOOK TOO WET OR TOO DRY". And then mine are "NOT TOO WET OR TOO DRY". Its literally like WTF... When is good enough good enough? Lol... I did exactly what I was suppose to do especially after extensive research before I even started the entire process. I see a bunch of tiny tiny baby shrooms starting to grow, my concern now is the one that has no pins at all, while it should have some at thos point IMO. Maybe I'm just too impatient?

Growing is really pretty simple, I spawn my oats with coir, try to get it as close to field capacity as possible, and literally dont mess with them unless they need a little water or air. That's really all you need to do. They will tell you what they want, it's a bit of a learning curve but once you learn how to interpret the signs its really about the easiest thing to grow, IMO. And patients is a big thing in this hobby. Good luck.

On a side note, 98-99% of the time, contamination can usually be traced back to bad spawn (noccing with a dirty needle / print ). This is assuming that you're only using coir as a sub, since it doesn't need to be pasteurized properly, it is very forgiving.
Agar really is the only way to ensure success in this hobby.

How many successful grows have you had? It can take many grows to get it right

your substrate looks too wet IMO yet your lacking humidity in your fruiting chamber. you need 95%+ RH and by the way your mushrooms not growing in any real direction is a sign of inadequate lighting, you need 1 meter or less between your substrate and light source. temperature comes into play as well but I'm guessing you've been directly misting the substrate and causing an excess amount of moisture to the sub. you need to stop for now and adjust your setup for better FAE and light source

That is true, one of my friends tried for years and is finally having success since I pointed him in the right direction.

I failed like 8 years ago, and again 3 years later and half failed 3 ago. I've mentioned this before, but I didn't learn to vent properly until last year. Never read the manual.

They need more air. DO you have holes in the top? They are growing toward the oxygen. Fix your fae and you'll get a good flush.

I’m pretty sure this happens from bad conditions.. I had quite a few at one point and a couple of the tc’s on here told me it’s from bad fruiting conditions. Don’t give up tho dude, we’ve all had bad grows I’m sure. Failure in this hobby is a lesson. Keep trying different options until you figure out what your shrooms are asking for. I’d let this thing keep rolling but if I were you I’d be making some grain jars and getting ready for the next grow...my thing is to always have jars/plates colonizing. Anyways, I hope you figure it out dude, good luck!

That bin kind of looks like a SAB.
Are you fruiting them inside a SAB? That might explain the lack of air and humidity.
Also your light looks like a normal desk lamp LED or something. You want 6500k daylight bulbs to mimic the sun.
