3 different bags. All seemed to stall about the same time. Not sure if those are cobwebs or not? Humidity is at 90%, temp at 74ยฐ. Any suggestions? Please help! I dont wanna ruin 3 bags of PE. I already lost 2 GT and a BM.

Those bags are contaminated, as you have a lot of exposed grain surfaces that are wet. I would highly suggest you not break it up and fruit those out of the bag if you want shrooms from them. I would not waste your substrate on that spawn. Good luck! I would revisit your sterility practice and see where you are failing in that. If you shot MSS directly into the bags, that is most likely where your contamination came from. If you are transferring agar to the bags either you contaminated them in the process, or your culture you used was contaminated. All roads lead back to the health of your spawn.

Top fruit outdoors as a last ditch effort but that bag will only grow you mold and tears.
I'm sorry for your loss. There are a lot of good guides on this board for making your own spawn.

I appreciate that. I'm working on stainless, using a flow good. 70% iso everywhere. Flame sterilizing...etc. I'm not sure where Im going wrong. Sucks, cause you think you're doing well. Lol. I didnt even think about the cash value! This sucks guys. Should I abandon? Did I do something wrong with the bag once sit was cut? What thread do I go to?

How long did you PC the bag?
How did you create the inoculant?
What is your process? (Be succinct if possible)

I would follow Elasticaltiger's advice. Fruit those out of the top outside. You are in the right place, everyone here is happy to help you. First thing I would do is ditch the bags and use jars for your spawn. How long are you PCing them for, what kind of PC setup are you using? Can you provide a pic of your work area, mainly where your Flow Hood is situated. It is something to do with your workflow preparing your spawn, I believe. Jars are much easier to trouble shoot then bags for folk just starting out. You never did say how you were inoculating the bags, with a syringe or agar cultures?
