I followed your tips now, and I actually have a good feeling about this.
I filled the tub with water and cracked the lid on some of the bigger containers in the other tub.
Today i can see that the mycelium is starting to recolonize. Some big white patches that are spreading troughout the boxes.
I need more tubs for fruiting now, since I only got two tubs and 20 containers in total.
This was some really good tips! I was on my way giving up, so thank you guys. Maybe Im lucky and can get some fruits here.

Great news  This is 3 days after you spawned it, give it about 7 more days or so and you should start seeing hyphal knots.
On my side : managed to harvest about 70 grams wet from the small boxes.
I am throwing away these boxes and i will not attempt a 2nd flush, as i have other boxes going and already pinning.
Also, ate about 23 grams wet ( should be 2.3 dry equivalent ) and it was an amazing experience.

Glad that you got some fruits out of it. It really makes me optimistic π
I havent had the time to get a new tub today because of work, but I will get one tomorrow. Feels like i really, really should make time to get one at latest tomorrow, or else i will have a spacing problem.
I saw some serious progress on the onces that I cracked the lid on, and the ones with a see-trough lid. It's happening a lot right now, and I need to be ready for the next step.
Exciting!!
Btw, whats your tec for drying them? Im hearing a lot of people going for a dehydrator. But I also remember having some great success with drying them with a fan (This was when I had a basic growkit that I bought in Amsterdam and brought home). But since this has been a bigger project, im not willing to risk failing at the last step.
And also, im glad that you had a good experience while munching on your mushies!

So today I got annother tub and also opened up all the boxes that were in my first tub (Removed the lid).
They all seem to have come pretty far and done a great job recolonizing. All but one box wanted to recolonize, so I isolated it now.

So now I will keep them in my tub, and let them do their thing, and not disturb them.
My only cancern now is that I got one box that I could not fit anywhere... So I guess i have to get annother small tub from somewhere.

Thank you 
The harvest was not much, so i splitted them in 2. First half, i ate it raw.
Second half, i let it slowly dry over the heat radiator, they seemed to get pretty dry, but did not make it till the end 
Decided to make tea with the second half : NEVER AGAIN. The tea taste was horrible, even worse than the wet fresh mushrooms. It had the taste of used boiled socks  from now on i will just eat them dried on a slice of orange or lemon.
First half was really nice had vivid imagery with eyes opened.
Second half was much much lower in intensity 2 days in between so yes, what it is said is true : having a second experience too soon will decrease in intensity.

Yes !!!!  Thank you for the feedback and not giving up on the contaminated spawn. Great job 
From now on you are on the road of self sufficiency, after you take some spore prints, etc 
Because this process worked for me and for you, i will add this post to my signature as an example on how to save moderately contaminated spawn

No, thank you! You had a great idea, and it saved my grow.
Every single one of the plastic containers are showing pins now!
Many thanks to all of you for helping me out. This has been a really nice first experience, and it will be more.
Going to take a spore-print on the best looking fella and then grow some more in the future

Sure



I guess it's just waiting now? Or can I do something to help them, besides keeping the surface in good condition etc?

On my side, managed to get about 45 grams dried, from the contaminated ones + clean ones.
The process is still ongoing, 1st and 2nd harvests/flushes .
What concerns me is that i unfortunately had to shock them by moving them out of the boxes, and keeping the mycellium closed in bags for 3 days
This seemed to affect the yeld, but most important it seem to affect the shrooms by giving me sterile ones. .
Only 1 in 10 mushrooms or so seem to produce spores.

Did you get any more?
Im up at 60 g dry now, and it still seem to give me more flushes. But I think it soon will stop... I throw away two boxes since they stopped giving me shrooms, and the ones i still have left, are giving me maximum 2 big shrooms per box. No contam yet, even if I used a fan in the room (My wife was feeling hot after MDMA π) + i vacuumed and also i removed the micropore tejp. This was 1,5 weeks ago, but it still looks healthy.
And oh man... I did 2,8 g:s... That was pure awesomness. Daaaamn π

As of now i have 60g's dried, after 3rd flush. kinda lost track with flushes anyway 
Meanwhile i think i used about 15g's dried in 4 sessions and i will stop for a few months, because as they say : the effect starts to disappear if used too often.
I redunked them in water and going again for a 3rd/4th flush, i want to see for how long they will still produce.
On the bright side, this experiment, let's call it, summed up to other changes that happened in my life over the last 5 years i'd say, brought me to this point that i'd call, without exagerating : Enlightening.
I will never be the same, i was reborn as a new man, a new spirit, and i was finally cured of my inability to speack to people.
While enjoying the gifts that were given to me, with gratitude, i trully can now say that this mushroom deserves the name of "Golden Teacher".
The last thing i will try to finish, is to get a successfull spawn out of my semilanceata mycellium, and at the end of april, climb back the mountain top where i found them a seed them across that plain.
I also thank you for taking your time and diligently taking care of your micellium to the point where it rewarded you with great results 
At first i had some doubts it will work out as good as it did, because it was also my first experiment, but you did an awesome job ! 

A gift that i received from this journey, that i want to share with you :

I wish you all the best and may the good order be with you
