Did you put that black stuff in there?
Unless you just shook the jar up it’s not looking like you’ll get anywhere with it.

Doesn’t really look like anything. Little bacterial maybe, how did you knock it up?
And why popcorn and coffee? That’s probably the worst spawn mix you could use.
Wbs or wheat would be much better and probably cheaper.

Looks hideous why would you do that 😂 Doesn't look like it's healthy, try the same thing without coffee or as mentioned get some Rye grain/wheats/wild bird seed(bird food).

Getting your hits to just rag on people. And the "looks like bacteria"... Thats old. Put it to rest already. If i werent familiar with contams, would been asking bout them. On soooo many posts instead helping and answering questions. People just turn it into a critic fest. Now i understand and agree with myco madness.

I'm new here and not familiar with popcorn (I use rye and oats). But it doesn't look too dry to me. If you just shook it is hard to tell what is what. I would like to see a photo in 2 or 3 days what the actual mycelium looks like when it grows back.

Hard to say anything without knowing your process. Like aka was asking, how did you inoculate it? It doesnt necessarily look too dry to me, but I'm not familiar with popcorn so I could be wrong. When I say dry, I'm talking about the surface moisture. Not the hydration level of the grain.
Also, idk what you're on about. No one is being mean. Simply telling you how it looks and better alternatives to popcorn, such as WBS, rye, oats, barley, wheat, etc.

Guys coming in here with an 8 post history acting like hes a TC or something telling other people hes knows whats what when the title is literally "Opinions plz". Ight well heres my opinion, take the criticism with a grain of salt when you're using outdated teks. You asked for opinions and you're getting them, the only reason people are saying that shit is to help you man so don't be upset over it.
IMO the popcorn doesn't look good but I'd need another few days to be sure. Read up on some more up to date teks and you'll be fine, but coffee for what you're doing isn't really necessary and that's why people are saying anything. Hopefully the jars turn out good for ya

theres really not enough growth of whatever is in there to determine if its good or bad. and itll be hard for ppl to judge dryness of popcorn because nobody uses that, so most folks won't know what a properly hydrated popcorn kernel looks like. if it were oats or rye, it would be easier for us to help. but again, the jar just needs more time at this point.

Asking us how it looks just after you shook it...?
Give it time to rebound and check back in. I saw white on some kernels but hey, could be anything. You just shook it after all 🧐
As for the rest of it:

il bet my $$ on itl contam out. adding coffee to anything is not a good idea and causes more bad than ive ever seen good. some ppl will soak their grains in coffee and while i still wouldnt do that to each their own and one of the guys i know who does it is a great cultivator. but that said im sure hes even agree with me that its not a good idea to add the grounds to ur spawn like that. it just seems there is so very many threads on here with ppl doing that wanting to know why there jars are tammed out

This tek is from mycomadness off his home mycology youtube channel. The guy knows his shit but he marches to his own drum exclusively. People then try to copy him with significantly less attention to environmental cleanliness and get confused when it contaminates weeks later.

Seems to me an accumulation of several teks and different strategies would be the perfect tek. until then just read (and follow teks) and compare observations to see what works in your climate the best. Post more pictures in a couple days so everyone can compare what it is now and then.
