Hey all, I am so happy that shroomery is back! There really isn't any other place like it.
28 days ago, I put some of my agar plates to grain spawn. I will now show how far my spawn jars have come.
First of all, two of my jars unfortunately contaminated pretty badly. Though they are kind of fighting back. I might try to bury these jars:
They were from these plates: 
The other two jars from EP2 and EP3 seem to be clean and haven't stalled.

I am unsure if my jars are 100% colonized, but at least it seems to not be that much more left to colonize and on the top side of the grains, mycelium has started going airborne like we often see from golden halo mycelium. I'll let them sit for two more weeks and see if the growth gets any thicker.

I've been researching a bit and it turns out my jars do not look like 100% colonized spawn. Even though they have covered all the grains with some mycelium, the spawn isn't completely covered in thick white mycelium like the images of spawn I've seen on here.
As part of my research I read the Clean spawn checklist for the new grower by p9hu7 and it suggest that shaking the spawn can help identify potential contamination in the spawn.
So I decided to shake the EP3 jar and see if that helps. I'll keep the other jar unshaken as a comparison.
Fortunately shaking the jar was easy (much easier than King Oyster spawn), so now I'll wait 3-4 days and see if the jar recovers nicely.

The jar I shook is recovering nicely 2 days later:

The other jar seems to have grown a bit more, so it seems to not have stalled, which I am glad for. Here is the jar 2 days ago and the jar today side by side. - I managed to take the picture from almost the same angle, so it's kinda fun to switch between them. If you look closely, the aerial myc has grown taller and there are some more knots.

Please tell me if you see anything that seems off on these jars. I might be fooling myself thinking they are going better than they actually are
