I'm still pretty much a newb to growing, but working hard to get better and more knowledgeable. I started growing with pf cakes over a year ago and had a lot of success. I've recently moved to agar and grains and am having good success with that as well. I've been experimenting and growing out a few different strains and isolates in small containers recently. I'm using 1 quart spawn (oats) to 1.5 quarts coir. Most of them are turning out like this. My guess is it's because of fresh air distribution. This is an unmodified container with the lid just resting on top, not latched down. Do you agree they are growing around the edges and not in the middle because all the FAE is only coming from the edges? That's my guess, but I'd love to know if anyone has a different theory. Do you think I could dial these in by drilling some hole over the center?

Wow. Ive never seen that before.
Evaporation is a trigger. Perhaps that is what caused the ring of fruits around the edge. But even so, the effect is most pronounced on the ends. Hmm, that's a weird one.

So I definitely want to disclaimer here that I’m no pro but when I saw this I thought of other pics I’ve seen where there is contams present in the substrate and the myc fruits out of desperation. I mean that being said your fruits look really good so I could definitely be wrong but just food for thought...
Also it looks kind of grey in the pic?

All about surface conditions. There's a really good thread hopefully someone can link but look into the conditions you want. I'd guess that the edge is where the best microclimate is.

If that’s been happening regularly maybe try setting the lid on top and then rotating it like an inch so there are gaps near the corners.

Thanks for the advice everyone! I thought the surface conditions looked the same across the whole thing, but there must be more evaporation occurring near the ends. I'll play with it and try to remember to update this thread if I figure it out. As far as the possibility of contams, I don't think there are any, but could definitely be wrong. I do know the whole surface looked the same during colonization and pinning, so it doesn't seem like there's just a contaminate in the middle area. And yeah, it looks a bit grey in the pic, whiter in person, I have a really crappy camera and weird lighting.
