These are all contaminated right?

I guess I shouldn't have used horse shit to make up my substrate?

It's obvious there is mycellium growing through all of that, but I guess there's also some kind of white mould too. Nothing is pinning, I've been trying to get it to pin for a week or more. It just gets more fluffy.

In case you're wondering what I'm doing, the rectangular one was my main "grow". The substrate is a combination of vermiculite, horse poo, coffee grounds and some kind of ultra-hydrateable potting soil additive that holds a heap of water. I don't think it's coca coir (I couldn't find that, it's what I was looking for), but something like that. I think it might be coir with nutrients in it.

I sterilised that mix in the pressure cooker for two hours, waited till it was cooled completely and then put a layer of sterilised vermiculite, a layer of broken up mycelium cake chunks and then a layer of that substrate mix in my SAB. I put plastic wrap over the top to maintain moisture levels. That's for the larger rectangular container, my "main" grow.

In the end there was some left over and rather than throwing it out, I mixed it all up and put the remaining in the other two green containers just to see what would happen.

Main grow, can definitely see mycelium coming through but the other more greyish whisy spots I guess are mould?



These were just experiments:

Bro it's all good, but you need to put it in prober fruiting conditions.

What's that?

I already have them in a warm, moist environment with plenty of light. I even cold-shocked them in the fridge. Nothing is happening...
