It's healthy. First, mold changes color early. It can grow out the size of a nail head and turn color, tends to spore after a very small amount of the molds mycelium grows. Second, mold smells musty, offensive, rotten. Mushroom mycelium can have a variety of smells but typically it's not rotten or offensive, and the vast majority smell like mushrooms, earthy and pleasant, especially psilocybes, oysters and turkeytail.

Molds are by far the hardest to control. Bacteria is easy to control by control the moisture content. If it's too soggy, standing water, bacteria have the advantage. If it's field capacity, fungus has the advantage. Also molds tend to have the upper hand when the substrate is too wet. Mushrooms need moisture but they tend to do well with less than you'd think.

How does it not look healthy? No sign of mold. And dude says it has a strong mushroom smell. If it was seriously infected from mold or bacteria that wouldn't be the case. No sign of mold, all I see is healthy mycelium and substrate. And the smell obviously confirms this. I get the joke, but he's probably in need of concise information because he's concerned. So I say to you dude, keep the moisture proper, pay attention to smell and color and you'll figure it out. Kind of looks like a polypore species, is it? If so, they need less moisture than fleshy ones. Reishi for example, u let that bitch get soggy and you'll for sure grow mold, got to keep it dryer that most others.

I mean, it does not at all look good. The blobby growth and the yellow mycelium piss. There is obvious contamination. It will probably still grow shrooms, but it isn't "healthy".

Jezzuz that thing is not in good shape in any sense. Id toss that man. Sorry 4 ur loss. I highly doubt youll get anything from that at all and would be a little sus of eating anything that came out of that. I dont think you have much mushroom mycelium there. Mayb some where the metabolites are but even then...might not be mushie myc at all. Looks like a tub o mold to me personally.

It almost looks like lions mane.
That’s extremely bacterial, the thick myc/blobs/yellow color/metabolite pools are all signs of contamination.
It is possible you might get a few pins but I wouldn’t count on it.
It looks like you did everything right as far as spawning the tub and keeping conditions in the right zone. Once you get cleaner spawn you’ll be growing plenty of shrooms.

Those blobs are mushie mycelium? I figured theyd be another mold

Dude the blobs are scloreta, mexicana varieties produce them. And some says it looks like mold. So where's the color then? Only white mold is cobweb, and that type of mold isn't compact. If bacteria is present that's easy as shit to fix, just let it dry up a bit.

Seriously u guys, you're giving me the impression ur all noobs. Have you seen mold before. Those blobs remind me of what you'd see with dam polypore primordial. Very smooth, very dense, off white only because it's damp, would be white if moisture was right. Now that he mentions it's mexicana makes sense, this strain produces sclerota. And did you guys not know mold produces colored spores? Green, black, pink, sound familiar. Jeez wtf guys you all sound like you have no experience here. Dude listen, that tub looks healthy. If it appears at all soggy, just cut back on watering. You got nice sclerota growing, it's going to explode with mushrooms. WHEN it does, not if but when, post the photo.

No way. Look at how it's spread. It's probably infected the entire organism. It might be salvageable if OP slices one of those blobs and tries to clean it up in agar.

He said it’s cubensis.
And even if it were a stone producer that’s not what stones look like.
Those blobs are reaction to either mold or bacteria.
