What makes you think that? Based on the picture or the conditions I set up?




It was because you said you removed a green spot from the spawn. And because i actually see a small, faint green spot in the picture of the spawn jar. It could just be the way the picture is coming through for me, or it could be an actual green spot- maybe the one you removed. A green spot in spawn is usually mold, IME. And people usually don't have good luck with just scooping out the green part and continuing on.

But yeah, fruit away. A lot of people these days even just introduce air exchange immediately upon spawning, with great results. That's how I do it.

Here’s another pic. My hygrometer fogged completely up and now I can’t tell the humidity. Can I stick a new one in there? Can I lay it on the mycelium or should I tape to the side?

Thanks! I actually did some research and think it was a bruising spot. Way more bluish Grey in color than green. But you may be right. We will see! Where is the spot of green on the jar? It helps to know what to look for! Would that mold start during fruiting? There’s lots of water droplets forming so I may start to fruit like you said!

I would definitely put the polyfil in now. It looks a little off like maybe bacterial and wanting air but it should be alright if there isn't a mold hiding in there. Sketchy spawn is nerve wracking around this time lol. It's when most bad stuff shows itself if it's there and you had that piece in the grain. I'll send good vibes :mushroom2:

Those temperatures are perfect, especially for fruiting because you get more solid stems than when it's real warm. And i wouldn't worry too much about humidity, the tubs really regulate themselves well but i do mist the surface directly if it's looking dry.

Have you read up about agar? Thats the best way to make sure you're getting clean spawn and you can do other cool stuff like cloning.

Ok, I put the poly fill in and took it out of the closet and put it near a window but not in direct light.
Should I start to fan it twice a day? Or only when it pins? I’m considering using a clip on fan but will that add more risk to contams?
I’m trying to find a good pic to indicate when pins look like when small.
Thanks for the good vibes!

Is that cottony white stuff mycelium or bacteria? You can see it near the top left corner of my pic. I saw same on the top of the grain jar.

I do know about agar and have been watching lots of videos but since I don’t have a good ventilation system, not sure it’s right for me. I still have 2 more syringes on GT. Thinking of starting new jars just in case this one ends up a bust!
