What am I growing? (noob!!)

so I failed on my first cakes, they got way too dry so while i was waiting on a fresh batch of mycelium to build up for bulk, I decided to see what happens if I soak the substrate and adjust airflow. kinda forgot about them and happened to check my jars and noticed this! I know there is some yellow and crazy colors, but are these cubes? safe? let it go or tweak something? was planning on tossing it all out in the woods but have not gotten around to it as I considered it a loss/wipe and start fresh. Just wondering if there is anything beneficial going on as a learning experience. thanks~

those are probably cubes if that’s the myc you started with but there’s no saving that tub. may have been bacterial or something as well but it looks dry as fuck. you gotta keep an even layer of water beads across the surface, otherwise it dries out & won’t pin. that’s why the mushrooms are coming from the side, it’s a more favorable microclimate for pinning there. once the surface mats you can’t do anything but start again. sometimes you can flip the sub over & fruit from the bottom but it’s a last ditch effort

thats exactly what i did, flip it, soak, and injected water into the substrate as a last ditch effort to see what happens. i did not get the sub to field capacity when i moved to the tub so was never damp enough to begin with. lesson learned. would you toss it now or take the couple that are popping up? i still have a week or two before i can start a new tub

eh, might as well ride it out. as long as the mushrooms aren’t molding or anything you’re fine to harvest them as they mature. def make sure your sub is properly hydrated & kept moist on the surface next grow! here’s what the surface of your sub should look like!

I am usually an advocate of giving projects time to produce if that is the only tub I got to this point but I would be shocked if that substrate did not only go south from this point.

I feel that...will dump the one larger one...saw some green in the corner so cut a chunk off to see what the rest does, if anything. the middle is like a coco brick lol, but i have a visual of what too dry look like! jars are about 50% so won't be long before tossing it out back.

if you see colors before pins you’re usually fucked in my experience. a good learning experience to see what happens, but yeah don’t expect anything

I had my first cake ever mat out on me like yours because I was over misting and over fanning.
I took a clean fork, went to town on the cake to scarpe away the matted mycelium, dunked and it fruited like 15g wet afterwards.
Not even worth the hassle, starting from scratch is a much better idea.

this cake won't die...guess I am riding it out now (no foul odors or greenish colors) lots of side pinning due to dunking/flipping the cake and not getting the liner in place since I though it it was pretty much trash anyway...guess I will get something off it!

Nothing too wrong with those based on the pic. I would dehydrate them. Maybe make tea if your concerned. I’ve eaten worse though.

Dehydrate at the highest setting, like 160-180, and for at least double that time. Most go 24h. Best way to ensure potency stays during storage is to dry them quickly and thoroughly.

Done! Thanks again. Set for 12hrs since it was the max time my ninja air fryer dehydrator setting would do at 150*

Dumped the tubs out by the woods. Guess they were just sleeping inside! Gonna leave them be but Mother Nature took over where I failed!
