In general, don't buy premade anything. There's nothing about cultivation that's hard, or more expensive to do yourself (in places such as the US), apart from a flow hood maybe. All you need is coir and a little verm if you want, for substrate. For spawn - the cheapest grain you can find, and a couple of totes - a larger one for a still air box. If you're not doing only PF Tek, then some agar powder, potato flakes, honey or light malt extract, for the agar. It's all simple, fairly cheap stuff to get hold of, and if you pay attention to your process, you have less to worry about than when buying anything premade.

Not before he buys a HEPA filtered clean room and maybe a change room entry for it
no. But it would help in terms of not contaminating your substrates.
If you had seen the amount of edible particles that covers most of our skin and clothes you would realize they could contaminate a dried out, bacterial, uncolonized or otherwise weakened piece of the substrate easily.
Yes people here handle their substrates bare handed or filthy all the time, doesn't mean its the correct way to handle a substrate in terms of cleanliness and prolonging the life/health.
Your nails could disadvertendly make a slice in the substrate allowing bacteria or mold spores from the sleeves of your arms to fester 2-3 days later or make already present microorganisms turn mycelial damage to contamination

We literally grow in open air, which is full of bacteria and mold spores. If the spawn is clean and the substrate is properly prepped, you could spit on it and it won't contaminate from that. Sterile technique is over with once we spawn to bulk. The majority of contamination is due to already compromised spawn, not because someone failed to shave their head and touches the substrate without gloves.

All it takes is one bad harvest of a fruit, damage opening up, and some bad microorganism guys from uncle timmy's dirty jeans and it might be the difference between getting a 2-3 or 3 to 4th flush
The difference between having to remove the sub Getting invisible (or visible, YUCK!) mold on your fruits
handle yo substrates clean and dont damage em
or
ya wont get max weight son

That's not how it works lol. Again, we literally grow in open air, which is full of contaminants and there is no need for sterile procedure once someone's spawned to bulk. It's a waste of time and effort.

If your theory were remotely true, then substrate would be contaminated within days. Do you genuinely not know that the air we grow in, the normal air all around us, is already full of contaminants and that they're not somehow magically kept from contact with the substrate? You have to be trolling.

Is it really lost tho? Can the mycelium win the battle, i don't see anything weird on the surface. If shrooms come out of this will i die if I eat them ?

It's not over until it's over, so don't give up on the tub just yet. Make sure it's not getting too much air, but constant, slight, passive air. If it's really dry, give it a slight misting now and then but don't go crazy on the misting. Give it another week or so. Don't fan, or mist the tub walls, or let it get too warm, just room temperature and see if it comes through. If it's contaminated to the point at which you are unlikely to get any fruits, that will most likely become evident pretty soon, in my opinion.
