Ready to shoebox

Virgin grower here...

This is the 4th bag I've ever inoculated, and it's been going gangbusters. This is my first true colony, I'm so proud of those little spores.





It looks like I've got some rhizomorphic growth going. I'm going to mix this up w some sterilized manure 1:1 in a showbox and hope she fruits strong. There's still an area or two with uncolonized grain, but there's no excess moisture or anything that looks like contam, so I think it's fine.





Any thoughts on how not to screw this up from here?

That last bag looks contaminated, some more pics of it would help determine if it is for sure, but Im leaning towards contaminated.

You need to pasteurize manure, not sterilize it. If you sterilize it there's no good bacteria to keep the bad bacteria from taking off in the substrate

I bought it sterilized when I was more ignorant than I am now, which is saying something. Should I go get some coir and sterilize it to use instead?

That last pic was too close and made the berries look funky, it's nice and white all around and doesn't look like any contam in the pics I've seen....

Thanks for ur help!

Definitely use coir. No reason to sterilize it just dump close to boiling water in a bucket with some.

The bag does look bacterial but not too bad.

Thank u. Upon double checking, the manure was pre-pasteurized not sterilized. But I may do the coir, anyway. It seems to give better yields according to the pics I've seen... Thanks again.
