Need a second set of eyes on my first two shoebox tubs

Hello

here are a couple of shots from my tubs, both spawned from BRF cakes on 12/31/2019 into coco coil with a few tablespoons of coffee grounds (I've since been told the coffee idea has fallen out of favor, I'll do straight coir next time) and I want to know if these tubs look contam free and on the right track to fully colonize, and anything else worth knowing

I think they look good.
What shoebox tek did you end up using?

I see a spot of possible trich in the second picture. Middle of bottom-right quadrant. Could be bad spawn or could be from those coffee grounds could be uncolonizeds grains left exposed. Keep an eye on that and next time just use coir, make sure your spawn is clean and fully colonized, and pseudocase when you spawn so you donβt have exposed grains.

Good eye man I missed that green.
Other than that they look alright.
Next time I would mix the spawn and coir up and level it, then add another 1/3 inch layer of coir on top of that. Makes things so much easier because all the myc wonβt be exposed so itβs much more forgiving of conditions.

They're definitely colonizing unevenly but it doesn't look contaminated at all.

Damn. I'm sorry for the misleading approval! Overlooked that green spot, and since I get uneven colonization I thought this was ok.
very good eye vc.
Interested on how this goes for ya. Good luck!

I spawned from BRF cakes made with coarse Verm (I used fine verm on my most recent cakes and they're doing much better) and after close examination the cakes all appeared contam-free. in each tub, three cakes from 8 oz jars were ground by hand and mixed
the verm is kinda gold colored, if that's what you're seeing.

I unfortunately forgot which tub is which, both are just labeled "Spawn: 12/31" so I'll take some more photos of both in more detail to see if I can spot the bit that seems to be infected
EDIT: post is now live here
