That looks like cobweb mold. It is still salvagable. You have to treat it with a hydrogen peroxide solution. I would find you a link, but I'm at work and dont have the time. Good luck!

I'd personally toss it. I've never had any luck trying to salvage anything with H2O2 - that energy is better spent making new, very clean, spawn.

Could also try to cut out some of the paler rhizomorphic growth and transfer it to some agar. The mold will probably follow it but maybe not.

In my experience, the best way to get good fruits from what you have in the pics would be to put it outside if you've got a place to do that and the weather permits. If that's not doable, try whatever method you'd like to get rid of some of your contams. If you do try to neutralize them in some way, it would be really cool if you documented the process whether it's successful or not.

If you are going to try to rescue your project let us know what you do and how it turned out.
I had a similar issue. I gently cleaned with H2O2 and put a 1cm casing of prepared choir/vermiculite. It did just fine.
good luck

Ok so I went to tub and did my best to spray the web looking stuff with hydrogen peroxide. In that I I have no idea what I’m doing so I got a little puddled up at the bottom, anyways I tried to drain and about lost everything the cake is now broken up into about 5 peices I sprayed my hands with hydro and used a piece of the poly fill to get everything back in place the best I can but the hydrogen peroxide absolutely got rid of the growth along with throwing the poor cake lol, if it survives I’ll let you know. Does anyone know if I can just fruit from my jar I have 2 more quarts left and one in a smaller 14 inch tub no cob web growth like this tub. I just hate to lose about 30 dollars worth of sub but if it happens it happens no noticeable smells other then sweet mushroom smell. So hopefully throwing it and hydrogen peroxide don’t kill it. But it’s now in full light and ima do a better job of air exchange cause humidity is high

Got 3 acres no neighbors within seeing distance expecially if I put it in the old cow pasture I’ll use that as a last resort. I shouldn’t of worked on the tub while stoned lol, I used h2o2 and got rid of a lot of that growth. No smells and it looked sorta like mycelium but I sprayed just in case and had a little puddle up on top of casing, my dumbass tries to turn it over and drained it luckily I drained it off mycelium but the cake broke and about fell out. But I saved it so provided I didn’t kill it with all that. Do you know if I can just fruit out of jar and into a tub? this substrates a little difficult to do and I just wanna get a harvest this is my second attempt at this and my jars are ready

You can definitely fruit right out of the jar, but it's kind of a waste of good spawn, in my opinion. Have you thought about just trying coir? And damn, if I had 3 acres with cows, I'd be taking advantage of that as much as possible

Thanks, I’m trying a 14 quart tub I made straight out of the jar but I think it’s a little dry to fruit so I may mist it, I have a bunch of actual coconut fibers I need to mix with coffee grounds but I have no way to sanitize it so I may look for a block next time I’m at lowes. This was a pre packaged sub I bought that had great reviews. So most likely somewhere I messed up, I don’t need much I can honestly do this year round if need be but I’m a novice so if I can pull any caps I’ll be happy with it. I wanna try microdosing which is why I’m doing this, but if it doesn’t work out this go around it’s not meant to be like I said I got 2 quarts sitting right now so idk if it’s best to get some more sub and try it in smaller batches until I get the hang of it. That being said I just bought a car so I’m not looking to sink really anymore then I’ve got in it already. Which is about 200 or so with tubs, jars, spores alchohol so really with this being my second try I’d like to pull one cap for me to put anymore money in it. Even if that means I gotta re inoculate and start over. I’m looking for smells right now when I open it and the cakes are in big clumps now so it’s fully colonized I can see. Hopefully I push fruit forward in the next week or so. So I just need to look for a place no one can see dig a whole and make sure it’s not mowed if all goes south?

If you've got enough coconut fibers, it may be worth trying to hydrate them with some boiling water (skip the coffee, that can apparently invite contams), and using just that hydrated fiber as your substrate.
If you do toss it outside, yes, just find yourself a little secluded spot and toss it out. Nature often knows better how to grow stuff than any of us do.

Oh you are right there buddy! Yeah I got a pretty Big bag of it so id say 5 or 6 lbs full of coconut fibers I may put them in a bag and get them smashed down and compacted and boil them. Do you just sit it till cool and pack my tub about 2 inches deep like I did with the bought stuff? Cause if so I may abort now And place them outside so I can get my box back or try one of these smaller quarts cause it’s legit Florida coconut fibers and I’d love to feel I went super natural And actually pull something cause I got a quart just sitting there on it’s own waiting to fully colonized in a chamber and fruit too so I’m not at a total loss just yet

I would do exactly this:
https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24077162#24077162
Basically take the weight of your dry coco husk and multiply that by 5 and that's the amount of water you want to bring to a boil then dump in with your husk. If yours isn't compressed, you may have some different results, but ultimately you're trying to do 2 things: hydrate the coir to field capacity and sterilize it to some degree with the boiling water. That tek really lays it out better than I could hope to, so I'd defer to that.
It never hurts to keep things small to start. Maybe try a couple individual shoeboxes in case one contams.

I’ve got coconut fiber compacted and smooshed and boiled once ima do one more boil cause I touched the coconut fiber later tonight I have my jar that I just dumped Colonized rye berries in a 14 quart tub. I plan to boil the coconut fibers and let it cool later tonight and ima mix them tomorrow cake was looking dry in tub so I spritzed with distilled water. Checking tub later tonight to see if I need to spritz hydrogen again around edges. I’ll update y’all later or tomorrow on how it all went. If it goes ok I’m keeping those in tub and seeing what pops up. If it goes bad should I get a bag or two of straw hay to cover the ground after I dig a whole and place substrate in it for outdoor production maybe Mother Nature can save me I really don’t wanna lose this grow cause I’m down to 2 quarts of inoculated rye left. I can get more jars and I got more syringes but I don’t wanna waste money when I got a car payment starting to come now.

Yeah don't use peroxide. It's a waste of time.
Just dump it and work on your sterile technique. It's pretty hard to get cobweb so if that actually is cobweb you messed up pretty bad somewhere. It could just be luck of the draw but more often than not cobweb stems from improper technique.
Not to worry it's all about learning!

Did you use a spore syringe to nocc up your grain? That would be the #1 cause of contamination, buying premade stuff is another one that often goes wrong I’ve noticed.
If you only want to use spore syringes then BRF cakes are the way to go. You can use them to spawn to coir in shoe boxes or just fruit as cakes.
Coir itself is super cheap, like $10-12 For 3 bricks which could do many shoe boxes.
If you’re going to use grains though you really want to germinate your spores on agar and then transfer clean myc to the grains.

Yes I did use spore syringes, into rye grain but I see no contamination in my jars I believe my technique was correct, I believe where I failed was buying pre made subs just cause it was reviewed well, from there I did the transfer following step for step, now could my sterilization be a factor probably. But I’m not seeing any problems on my other smaller box except for it being dry and not fully colonized so it’s probably going to get tossed to if I don’t see colonization. I took what’s posted out of mono tub last night I buried it in a shallow grave about 1 1/2 inches deep with dirt if I lose both of these then it is what it is. Probably my angel looking out for me cause I’m not sure I’m mentally ready to trip but I gotta try something other then what I been doing for mental health.

It’s fully colonized so it should fruit at least one good flush.
I’d either make a shoebox with a small amount of coir or just take the lid off the jar and fill it up with coir and put a bag with tiny holes poked in it on top.
If you only have syringes brf cakes would be the best bet. Or make paste with it and use it like agar first until you have for sure clean myc to put into grains.

Thanks for your response. I dumped it in a sanitized monotub if it doesn’t work in a week I’m throwing this shit away and being done with it. Ima fuck it up like every single one of the ones I’ve had before so what’s the point I didn’t flush anything like the fuck up I am. So i just dumped the jar in the tub if I lose it I expect it so it’s whatever. Sorry for my pessimism, I’m having a really difficult time when I realized how much money that’s been wasted on this shit

90% of the people on these forums had their first grow contaminate. It's only easy once you have lots of experience.
If you already bought all the supplies then sure it didn't pay off in your first grow, but with some time & patience you can improve your technique and the supplies should last you through many subsequent grows.
What makes the difference between success & failure is whether or not you can face a loss as a challenge/with grit, rather than giving up on it. Keep in mind your locus of control (how much you feel like you can control the situation) has a significant impact too. You can gain more control over your grow by trying again and doing more reading into sterile techniques.
I totally understand that growing can feel helpless - every shroomery member has probably been there at one point. For me it was facing bacillus (a type of bacteria) that kept contaminating my BRF jars. After 4+ failed grows I finally learned that adjusting the amount I was injecting + sterilizing a bit longer since the lid on my pot wasn't tight made the difference.
All I'm saying is that your grow isn't a complete failure/worth throwing everything away. It is one bump in the road to success and you can either et it break you or you can learn from it and it becomes something positive. I have 100% confidence that if you push through this and see it as a learning experience you will find success in consecutive grows.

Thank you! I was really disappointed today to see both tubs go badly, ima try my own way implementing others ideas and see how far that gets I got 4 more syringes to use if this goes awry and I just keep dumping it all around outside so maybe I’ll be back thanking you even more. I will admit the challenge to this is addicting I’m just hoping leftover alcohol residue won’t cause any problems to this box. Ok so when it’s in tub, I let it sit for a week and don’t bother opening it right? My last problems I think came from substrate, insufficiency in santization and the smaller tub, I think I opened it and begin fanning immediately, along with misting with distilled water. This time ima sit and forget. Once again thank you and many blessings, to deal with me you have a tremendous amount of patience.

If you’re using coir anything that goes wrong is usually gonna be related to dirty spawn. Coir is very resistant to contamination which is why it’s used. Opening it to check won’t cause problems either as long as the grain was totally colonized when you spawned it.
The good thing about tubs is you don’t ever have to fan and rarely need to mist them. If you misted your last one the whole time that could’ve caused problems from too much water sitting around. As the surface gets colonized water will naturally start to bead up on it.
One thing that screwed me up at first was thinking that misting was to help water the mushrooms. All the water they need is in the coir, the mist is only to keep the beads on the surface so they can evaporate and trigger pins.

Cult is for sure addicting. I started less than a year ago planning on growing a couple ounces and now I’ve given all my friends a lifetime supply and I’ve gotten to grow and try mushrooms I had no idea even existed until recently.

Especially if you were going ham misting the tub before it was even fully colonized/consolidated.

Yeah I believe something in my technique was wrong and not truly understanding the mono tub mechanics. This time I santized thoroughly with 99 percent alcohol, let dry for a few seconds wiped up excess and dumped and closed the lid I’m letting it does what it does for about a week. If it’s failed then I’ll know it wasn’t fully colonized cause I dumped 2 quarts of grain in a 14 quart tub one was the one pictured above, and another that was the same except for the top 20 percent so if it works then ima be jumping for jar

Yeah my new motto is let go and let grow. Lol, cause the substrate was already pre soaked and had amazing reviews online and then I misted and fanned like a true asshole the following days after so I just dumped colonized in a tub and I’m fruiting what I got before i invest anymore. It is what it is and will work out to what My higher powers deem fit if any.

Yeah what’s going on here? The grain doesn’t look colonized to me.
If you just put grain in a tub and then added myc it’s not gonna go well.
If it was already colonized and you’re trying to fruit it without coir then it would need to be soaked to rehydrate it.

You gotta add the colonized rye berries to a bulk substrate (e.g coconut coir). The colonized rye is just spawn. mix it together with some coconut coir that is hydrated to field capacity (link below for how to do that - or just do 1000mL boiling water per 200g of coir)
https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24077162
Once at field capacity you thoroughly mix the coir with about 1 part spawn (colonized rye) to 2 parts coir. Some even prefer to do a 1:3 or 1:4 mix but I find 1:2 perfect. anything between 1:2 and 1:4 should be fine though.
It doesn't appear to be too late to mix your spawn with coir, but if you just throw spawn into a tub it will do very poorly (spawn doesn't hold moisture very well)
If you set it up right with the bulk substrate you should only need to mist about once a week, if at all. of course without the bulk substrate you will be misting it VERY frequently...

My question is by misting very lightly with distilled water around edges cause any issues or should I let it consolidate a little more if you look above one of the jars was fully colonized, another 75 I just checked and it’s rye berry substrate direct to fruit. I could be wrong but I don’t have money for 24 dollar coco coir bricks nor the patience to fool with that nor buy subs off intergalactic so I’m doing the best can I can see it’s still consolidation. Would a mist cause growth it did on the last tub a blue green mold. I’d like to do this as cheap and Minimal as possible to just see one fruit.

I’m looking at Lowe’s and shit, I have a good sub that I bought on amazon through galactic no negative ratings. But my dumb as begin misting and fanning before consolidation along with probably less colonization then I tried peroxid and got cobweb. It’s buried I haven’t check if you look at the post you can see the time I’ve been having with it bro not meaning to be a dick. I just am fed up man I suck at this

Mushroom cult, growing cubes at least, is really easy but only if you have the proper equipment and knowledge.
Using spore syringes you’ll always have a hole in your game. You can be as sterile as possible and still fail because your inoculate was compromised but sometimes it will work fine if you don’t make any mistakes. If you start with a PC, spore print, a sleeve or two of Petri dishes, scalpel, at least 66qt SAB, and MEA You will have clean myc ready to either drop wedges in your grain jars or make an LC/LI.
Spawn to coir and vermiculite in shoe boxes and you can’t go wrong. As long as you don’t mess with them anyway.
If you don’t wanna spend a little $$ I don’t know what to tell you. There’s really no shortcuts to mushrooms. Not consistently anyway

If you have a substrate mixed in you should be good. There's just no sub in the pictures you shared is all (unless it is buried underneath lol). So that's why I mentioned it. Mind you, pre-made substrates can be hit or miss. Usually better off just making your own but if you can't do that then ya gotta do what ya gotta do I suppose.
You can also prepare horse manure if you know any local areas with horses. Just makes sure the manure has been sitting in the sun for a few days & looks all dry and whatnot.
You can also get a coco coir brick online here for $4.50: https://www.shroomsupply.com/raw-ingredients/organic-coconut-coir-brick?zenid=prrirmhvft3pv8g71qpf1djne7
I would just follow a TEK on here to a T and if you're limited on supplies or money I would stick to the PF Tek. Attempting any TEK assumes you have the money for all the materials in the TEK. Anywhere that you do something different (e.g. using a pre-made substrate instead of preparing your own coir) opens you up to higher chances of getting contamination."Bods easy AF TEK" in my signature is a super reliable and easy way to do the PF tek without buying perlite and a fruiting chamber if you want to do a grow with next to no materials whatsoever. (literally just spores, vermiculite, brown rice flower, a mason jar, and some stuff you should have sitting around your house is all you need.)
Otherwise ya gotta fork over some cash to get the right materials for growing in bulk.
As a new cultivator your best bet is to always follow a TEK otherwise you risk not having a clue what you're doing. The people who know what they're doing only know what they know because they have seen mushrooms grow firsthand in different environments & conditions for ages so they know exactly what the mushrooms like. Me and you on the other hand just need to know how to follow the directions of a TEK and all the environmental conditions will be near-perfect from the get-go.
Once you have 20+ grows under your belt you can try experimenting with slightly different conditions on your own to see if it makes a difference for the culture you are working with (genetics play a role), the climate you are in (height above sea level, temperature, and weather make a difference), etc. But none of these will prevent you from actually growing mushrooms unless you live in an igloo. This is just done to try to increase the potency and weight of the fruits.
Focus on following TEKs more accurately until you actually get some fruits before you start doing your own methods.

Was the grain colonized in jars before you dumped it into the tub?
Those are no where near needing mist, there’s hardly any mycelium.

Yes look above one jar 90 and the other perhaps 70. Should I wait for a few weeks I’m getting more myc growth in a dark closet in a tub

It’s hard to decipher what’s going on here, or if it’s for real. Did you put uncolonized grain spawn in a tub? Is that what you meant by one jar at 90 and one at 70? Like that was the percent they were colonized...if so it’s almost definitely mold that you’re growing.
And if you leave it in the dark for weeks it might kill you when you finally open the closet again. With a garrote. Healthy cube myc colonizes and does it’s thing pretty quickly.

lol I was thinking 14 quarts of spawn for some reason when I read 14qt attempt #3.
It should’ve recovered the same as healthy spawn in a jar would. After a couple days it should be fuzzed up all over and starting to spread.
I’m only seeing a few small spots of myc.
Also idk if I’ve ever seen just straight grain in a tub before. Usually people level it out and add a casing the few times i remember seeing just grain grows. Why did you decide not to use coir?

To much money I can order some sub off line but it’s plant based and I got cobweb bad as seen in first post it’s currently getting fuzzier by the day and with these cool days it’s become a lot better fruiting temps anyways last two aborts are buried.

Your jars need to be FULLY colonized before opening the jars and spawning them. They should be spawned to bulk substrate like coir. You dont necessarily have to spawn them to a bulk substrate, but good luck getting anything without spawning them to a substrate or at the very least casing the grains

Sub is super cheap. A brick of coir or 50lbs of manure compost are both a couple bucks.

No there’s a sub from intergalactic I believe but rye berries in a quart jar is what I did.

Coir is dirt cheap. You can get a 5kg block for 20 bucks and it last for quite alot of tubs. Amazon has tons of good deals on it.

Nothing came up for me when I copied and pasted that into amazon... It'll be different depending on where people live too.
Just share the link maybe?

I just got sub ordered a few days ago. So ima follow direction anyways would you line bottom with sub or just mix grain case and let go, supposedly this stuff is field capacity right outta bag provided no cuts or exposure to air during ship I think this will work. I think I sprayed and caused to much water so I will let y’all know. Anyone know if my tub will die if I just leave the lid on it. Currently agitated last night just a quick shake with the lead popped it open for just a second and saw I’ve got a few amazing clumps of mycelial growth, should I just leave it alone until sub gets here ?

I would post a new thread but idk how I transfer to sub about 3 days ago how long do you wait for re colonization of sub if it’s going to do anything there was still viable mycelium so I just took my risk with what was posted, I check through the tub and it looks like it’s colonizing the sub so should I give it a week, 2 weeks, how long until you expose to light?
