Does this look healthy? Golden Teachers, I started growing them on 1/16/2024.

Edit: I'm high so I don't know if this makes sense

Looks OK for now. Can you walk us through how you got to this point?

Sure!
I bought an AIO bag. Rubbed down the entire bag with alcohol. Then I wiped down the entry point. Then I prepped the syringe and inserted it into the bag, dumped it all in one spot then pulled out and put medical tape over the hole. Then I put the bag under my sink to keep warm . Its dark under my sink so no light gets on it. And the bag is moist on the inside with water droplets on the interior.

Did you do any of that in a SAB at least? You did the perfect combo of everything wrong. May or may not get anything out of it, just let it ride.

Well there is alot wrong with how you did it but for being over a month old I don't see mold so you should still have some hope yet!
The main thing is going spores to an all in one bag. Spores are really meant to be put to agar petri dishes then cleaned up. The way mushrooms are harvested is in the open air which has millions of mold spores all around and inevitably some get onto some of the mushroom spores and then those get into the spore syringe. Then you inject them in a bag and the reproduce at a crazy rate and ruin the bag. On agar you germinate the spores then transfer clean mycelium until you know it's clean then add it to grain.
If you used a liquid culture syringe that can end up better as long as the producer really cared about keeping it sterile.
The second main problem is that this all shoulda been done in a still air box SAB for short. With those you let the air settle so all the contaminates end up on the floor and you can work inside the box in a clean environment.
One last thing is that light has been shown to be beneficial to mycelium in all stages so get that baby outta your sink cabinet and let it get some light.
But even with those mistakes your bag looks good so far. A little slow maybe but not bad.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it won't work. Let it ride and see. For your next grow, do some research.

For your next attempt follow the PF Tek to the letter and you will grow some shrooms. Now it will be a miracle if you get any. Just forget about this bag and start a new project.

I don't completely agree with tossing it. If it does contam, it'll be a good opportunity for them to see what it looks like in person.

THANK YOU! I thought it had to be in dark enviroment so thats good to know. I also used liquid culture so that helps. Good to know I still have hope . I will take her out and let her see the sun, maybe take her on walks and enjoy the company of my brown bag.

Just read that he used LC, so I guess there is hope if it was clean enough. I am impatient though, so if I think I screwed up, I just start another project at the first opportunity. But yes, no need to toss a project before it goes really south.
