How are these looking? The square one was sent to bulk on April 21, the rectangle the day after.

Shit, I had a weird feeling about that. No green as far as I can see yet. Should I just throw it away?

I’ll take better pics of the rectangle in a bit, the light is bad right now

Thanks. Will do.

I know the rectangle is pretty dry, but I saw someone saying a few pages back not to mist while it’s still colonizing so I’m unsure what to do. The box itself is steamy.

How is the tub getting air at the moment? I'd suggest upping the FAE a little, keep on with not misting and see if that helps.

As you can see i have some agar plates with mini shrooms out of the jars...
It only smells good like mushrooms...

What can i do now with my box?
Because of no Holes and too much co2 too less fae ?

Is the best practice for spawning slightly questionable spawn shoeboxes?

I ask because I've got quite a few jars which I'd now deem questionable after learning more from people here (some wet grain against glass) & a few more with uncolonised sections.

I'm not willing to ditch them all as I'd hope to get at least something.

Don't get me wrong I've definitely learnt from this & I understand clean spawn is king, but yeah, it's a lot of time & work to throw away for me.

If shoebox is the way forward, is there a particular tek specific to this situation? Casing layer or not, set & forget or not etc?

Thanks for all the help

First of all, good to see that you're using agar. Secondly, don't tilt the jars like that as it's liable to compromise the verm layer and increase the likelihood of contamination. As for your tub, I'd recommend switching to a water tub setup and ditch the hygrometers as they tell you very little that's of use.

What shoebox specific Tek are you thinking of using? In general the only major difference that I can think of is having a lower ratio of spawn to substrate perhaps. So 1:1, 1:2 at the most for questionable spawn.

So another tub I do not have....

That would mean I have to take my SAB, glue it shut and put the existing growing cakes in there,
then modify my "pseudo" fruit box by removing the tyvek and taping over it with duck tape, throwing out the seramis,
cleaning the box completely, of course the hygrometers out...

And then I need 4 glasses, a grid and then the cakes will go on it

Question about this:
1. if I rebuild my box and put the 4 glasses in there as a fixation of the grid, do the glasses have to be filled with water?

1. should my cakes already soaked in water and rolled with vermiculite really need to be soaked again + rolled in unpasteurized coconut? I mean does that have to be? would not that be a bit too much? After all, they are already growing...

2. directly initiate fruiting, or give 2-5 days time with closed lid to grow through and then just put the lid on diagonally?

Currently still runs a heating mat at 21-22 degrees celsius (69-70f)

Thanks for your advice

Lids flipped, should i create more gap so it can get more fae?  Thanks

There are no separate fruiting conditions anymore. Air and light are allowed from the get go. Don't use fans or heating mats. You don't need to fiddle with your SAB, just go get a cheap tub when you can. For the water tub, I'd recommend that you follow this Tek:

I think that a flipped lid should provide enough FAE and you may just be in a waiting game at the moment. You can try cracking the lid open a bit more and see if things change over the next few days but be careful not to let the substrate surface dry out. I suspect though that it's more a matter of patience at this point. Unless someone more experienced here can suggest other steps to take that I haven't thought of?

A bit of clear bacterial gunk or a few partially colonized wet grains will likely colonize bulk and fruit decently. These usually recover slowly after a break and shake and do best with higher spawn ratios.

If significant portions are uncolonized they are more vulnerable to mold taking over and ruining any other spawn in the tub. I’d just scoop those areas out entirely while spawning.

Shoeboxes keep less of your eggs per basket in case one molds on you. I found some 2.2 L Tupperware containers where four of them fit a monotub perfectly for similar effect.

10 days colonizing- Should I go to fruiting conditions now? The growth seems halted the last 72 hours or so. Casing layer is likely thickest in the bald spot in the middle. I should start fruiting now... right?

You were already informed in responses to your first post that it's common practice now to have the same conditions from the get go. There aren't any separate fruiting conditions as such. So allow some constant, passive air and a little light from the beginning. There's no need to wait.
