Oh yeah that's from one of your swabs, forgot to mention.
Spawned on 25/5, but I hear you guys got that backwards.
Have a tub that is starting to pin too.

I couldn’t believe how long my Melmak took to mature, it’s like half speed.
Josex i remembered you sent those swabs a week ago and was surprised they weren’t in the mail this morning. I was tripping hoping they didn’t get lost until I remembered seeing Spanish orange juice in one of you pictures and realized it’s international.

Yeah it's all the way from the other side of the pond, where the grass is greener and there are fewer McDonald's.
Last swabs I sent to merica was almost 2 months, thought it was a no show. Hope you guys get those swabs soon, really want you dudes to play with those genetics.

Got a Homestead plate pin from a friend, master jar looks good.
Going to send it to like 10 bags for a clone hunt.

My swab from Buddaking is showing some germination on agar amongst quite a bit of bacteria, so will hopefully be grabbing a piece of that for a transfer in the next few days before I hail mary that into a bunch of tubs.
Might even try out bags after seeing all these killer Mak bags in this thread.
Need to grab some of those XLS-A bags, I'm only rocking 3T for spawn as of now.

Still don't open up can't even swab them yet, will give them another day and if I see no change I'll harvest. I know they don't look like it in the pic but these things are huge, will weigh the big guys tomorrow.

I am so intrigued by this variety! I will get a swap at the market place and join.
Initially I wanted to grow it, as I was under the impression that these grow faster then the "regular" PE you can get, but it seems they take just as long to mature?

I wouldn't expand that jar, it's bacterial. Just a heads up.

Yeah those look about ready. Definitely won't hurt to give them another day or two if you're holding out for spores though. Crazy I've never had a full batch of mature fruits stay closed up like that

Shoot me a PM, I think I can get you sorted with some swabs

They definitely opened up a bit more overnight, will harvest later. Thanks for the spores Ghengis, may Fabio guide you and bless you with bountiful harvests.

That jar looks great to me, maybe I'm missing something but 100% I would expand that

That spikey mycelium is a red flag, coupled with the excess condensation you're playing bacterial roulette.

If that's your assessment based on the fingerlike myc I have to say my first several dozen jars exhibited growth as such and flushed multiple times without contamination. If there are no other indicators then is it not possible that the grain is slightly overhydrated andbso that's basically just aerial myc.

I didn't say it was completely ruined, just not expandable imo. Mushrooms can be grown with slightly bacterial spawn, i wouldn't want to expand anything that wasn't 100%
2 indicators are enough for me, how many more do you require?
This is fully detailed in the clean spawn thread so I won't go over it here, most people don't have a sharp enough eye to catch it is all, I'm certain of that.

Just minimally bacterial then eh Definitely safe to pass on the expansion. Can always take a clone from a quick tub then expand with confidence.
Sometimes I wonder about said jars, but I go dryer and cleaner these days so I don'thave that problem 
OP, consider G2A with that jar before you spawn it.

Yes, bacteria is the cause and thats the problem and my point. The nastier the infection the more indicators will tend to manifest themselves visually in the jar. I'd say spawn those, as you suggested, but having two indicators of bacteria is a no go for expansion in my books.
If it was only condensation then maybe, but even then I wouldn't personally unless it looked super spotless.
I'm super picky with my spawn though, sorry to derail with bacteria talk, lol.

Sneaky contams will fuck your shit up. Not sure if my new Melmac culture had contams or just sucks ass. Could be too little top layer in part. I think 500g top layer is too little, better to go for 800g.
Gotta observe more but I'm seeing blobs
