Just pulled this Blue Meanie Shoe Box... Opinions?

Hey guys I just pulled my Blue Meanie shoe box last night (6qt unmodded), 4 half pint BRF cakes shredded to bulk substrate Coco coir, verm, gypsum and horse poo on 08/13. Took top off last night to this. I fanned, placed top back on (not snapped) its getting some natural sunlight now.... how am i doing? My 3rd time doing shoebox tek. First 2 times i had holes in the boxes and they ended up pulling away from sides, thats where i got most of my fruit. The rest dried out. After more research best to do no air holes in shoebox tek. Just wanna make sure im doing things right now. Thx Guys

Def not happy. You should stick to just coir/verm at first. Especially since youâre using BRF cakes as spawn. Leave the hpoo until youâve got a little more experience and youâre making clean grain spawn. Syringes are often dirty, BRF cakes handle it well but once you go mixing them you never know what will happen. Itâs a flip

Wow! Thats SUCKS!!!!!!! Smells ok to me but i will trash. I thought with the little droplets, no bad smell and the amber droplets it was ok. I have some popcorn grains (GT) almost 100 % colonized again after 70% shake. That was inoculated with a spore syringe. I have about 6lbs left of the horsepoo, gypsum, coco coir, verm. Should i use or go back to just verm and coco coir for these as well? Was planning on using the best jar for g2g? Thoughts?

No harm keeping the tub somewhere off to the side to see what happens, though it looks grayish it might be cube myc just really unhappy. You definitely donât want amber liquid as a good sign though. That means the myc is producing metabolites cuz something is up.
Those jars donât look good at all from what I can see. A little too dark and very thick looking but a closer picture would tell more.
Starting with spore syringes is the main issue I think. Every syringe Iâve put to agar has had a bunch of bacteria in it. Mushrooms are grown in open air so they can collect contaminant spores or bacterial whatevers that get on the print and then into the syringe. Agar is the most important part of mush cult because it allows you to germinate the spores on a flat surface and watch them grow out so you can select only the clean growth that you want to transfer and then when youâre sure itâs clean you transfer into your grain or LC.
Without using agar you could be as sterile as possible but still keep getting contamination and never know if itâs you or the syringe and what to fix.

OK more on the popcorn pint jarsI used turkey ranches easy popcorn tek. the brown color at the bottom is a bit of vermiculite that was recommended to throw in a tablespoon just in case there may be too much moisture since it was my first attempt I wanted to make sure I had the right moisture content so I added some before i filled them but obviously filled them too much which is why they took so long. 3 jars on left were banged with a mallet at 70%+, myc came back super thick on the two on left seem rdy to go. 3rd jar is lagging a bit im sure do to gas exchange and 4th jar the same. All i see is white, yellow (popcorn) and the tablespoon of verm on bottom.

Those are some gnarly jars.
Popcorn seems to always look gross though I still donât think Iâve seen a good looking jar. It must be popular on other sites right now cuz I literally never saw it used up until a month or so ago.

Here is âTurkey Jerkyâ https://mycotopia.net/topic/63118-turkeyranch%E2%80%99s-easy-popcorn-spawn-pictorial/
The thing with teks is you usually want to find one that isn't 10+ years old. Methods and practices change in this hobby so look at teks that are more recent (I have no doubt JCM pointed you to some solid ones).
For sure stay away from Reddit those users are dumb as shit. The only thing of value I got from them was this forum coincidentally. I got banned on their subreddit because I told them mycelium doesn't produce urine.

Hahaha.. smh. I mainly just got on reddit because i hopped back into the hobby and wanted to find some spores.... They have some pretty good sources. For research i always stick to these types of sites. âTurkey Jerkyâsâ was 10 years old so i get it, new methods come out and what not. What worked then should work now right.... Anyhow thanks for the advice guys. Im just starting up again because i cant keep my coral reef tank atm and i need my science shit.. lol.
