A lesson in Patience, Nuturing and Learning.

So I ordered a small pre-colonized grow "kit". It's just a small plastic container of spawned substrate. It is growing VERY slow. Temps at 72-77 and indirect natural sunlight.

It has looked like this for 3 days...
edit: see the full story below. Updates will be posted every 3 days.

I wouldn't expect more than a single dose from that thing though it looks very small...

Oh yea there are a bunch of knots, just progressing very slow. It is only supposed to yield 3-6 grams. We'll see.

Definitely primordia, and patience is definitely a virtue! You'll likely have some mature mushrooms in a week. If you mean the small white balls you see haven't changed in 3 days, then something may be wrong (eg bacteria causing them to abort).

I see tons of knots and like 10 - 20 pins about the size of a pen head. You're good to go. You'll have shrooms in no time.
Are you planning to eat them fresh or dry them out? Remember that shrooms are 90% water. So one gram fresh is .1 gram dried.
🍻 cheers!

Sounds like you learned a valuable lesson from it at least. Looks like you'll get something out of it, even if it's a single dose.

At least you ordered precolonized shit, that’s the only kind of grow kit that should be sold

Just a little back story on this kit and the current state of it.
I had a heater malfunction and the temps got up to 111 degree Fahrenheit for a out 6 hours.
That was before I pulled it out to start fruiting. Then the pins started, which is the picture you see above. Nothing changed for 5 days, so I mixed it up and put it back into incubation. Now the myc is thriving and it looks even better than before.
I'll post pics in a few days. Crazy fun learning experience and experiment in going from pinning back to colonizing. Pretty amazing how resilient this fungi is!
BTW it's B+.

Update 4 days after mixing stalled pins and incubation.
The myc has bounced back strong and I put it in a shoebox with some perlite. Looking good!
