These were injected with P Envy spores 15 days ago. I kept them i a bod inside at ambient temp fat 70 degrees. Seen little to no growth for 8 days so I have set them on a window sill behind the blinds so they would get some minimal sun but some sun. Today I picked it up excited that the mycelium is starting to take off, but the bottom has some black splotches....will this sort itself out...please help...thanks

Toss em outside if possible. Away from your home. There toast. That's mold.

Where did I go wrong. I was super careful, sterilized everything with alcohol, flamed my needle...Any advice moving forward?

it could be from your sterilizaiton or inoculation process.
are you using a Still Air Box to inoculate?
did you make the bags yourself or did you buy them.

Damn, it's been stipulated that spore syringes generally have some contam but can still work out ok.
Getting into agar is pretty easy, cheap and easier to be successful.
I'd make up a order for some sterile dishes or hg containers, agar, and maybe a pour bottle.
You can save some clean looking spore grain from that bag to transfer to the agar or start with some new spores.

yea start at still air box and go from there.
its basicaly a tub used to isolate air currents creating "still air" so dirty bois dont fall on your stuf.

The OP's issue is dirty syringes. SAB wouldn't have helped this.

Yep dirty via the person who made it. Fruiting is dirty= dirty spores= dirty spore syringes.
Spore syringes to grain or BRF can be done, but inherently you will have some failures so if you buy a bunch of premade bags and inject them with spore syringes it's a crap shoot. Unfortunately you did not luck out. I know it sucks because of the time and effort put into it. But try, try again.

I highly doubt your going to have anything done by the 29th of next month, might have to start figuring out how to out source for that one!
