I'm gonna start by apologising for my total lack of knowledge and also for the fact that this question pertains to a grow kit. I have a spore syringe on order but wanted to check that I could successfully grow the (supposedly) idiot proof way first, before taking the plunge. Apparently I can't.
Set up the kit 8 days ago and first pins showed 3 or 4 days ago. They seem to be either stalled or progressing really slowly, weirdly coloured on the stems and also contaminated on the cap. Just wondering whether they're worth keeping on with and also what I likely did wrong. Like I say, regular pre-inoculated grow kit. It's not been in direct sunlight and I've been misting a few times a day (and fanning). Unsure how I've managed to cock something so simple up so badly but any advice gratefully received.

Looks good to me. Do you have a Fruiting Chamber ready for that tray?

Thanks for the response buddy. It's just in the bag at the mo, held closed with paper clips. I open to mist and fan three or four times a day and thought that was supposed to see me right. Sorry...stupid questions and utter novice here. I got a bit concerned by the slow growth and spots on caps, as well as brown stems. Keep second guessing myself re humidity so perpetually worried it's too dry or too wet!

It looks fine to me. I wouldnt worry. The little white pieces on the caps are the Universal Veil. Similar to Fly Agaric mushrooms (Nintendo's Toadstool).

Here’s some good reading of the simplest and most efficient ways to grow mushrooms.
Kits can work out sometimes but they’re usually a lot of trouble. A little simple work on the front end will give you literal tons more mush and satisfaction and the ability to clone mushrooms you like and save genetics for future grows etc etc. it’s a lot of stuff but it’s all the stuff that works gathered in one spot, this site has a lot of crazy info as well that can confuse new folks : )

Thanks, both of you. Thanks for this info, Roger - super useful! Like you say, there's so much yo read out there that it can be a bit intimidating, so knowing where to start is invaluable, thanks. Can't wait to get growing for real!

It looks a bit too moist in there, but I think you're going to see them grow soon.

Brill. Shall maybe rein myself in on the misting a little then. Thanks for the tip. Felt rather self conscious posting questions about a ready to go kit but you folks have been so nice. I will be growing (or attempting to!) for real soon.
