Beginner here, tried growing the Golden teacher in a bag and things dried out 1

Beginner here. I just want to try one heroic doze of magic shrooms to help improve my mental health. I bought a bag with spawn from somewhere and spores of Golden Teacher mushrooms in two syringes. Granted I got the bag and I procrastinated and waited maybe two or three weeks before I injected the spores in and maybe that dried out the spawn, not sure. Other than that I followed the directions for the bag which was to just empty out one syringe in the bag and wait for two weeks and so on. There was very little mycelium growth. I then went all in and injected the other syringe or spores and like 5 or 6 syringes of distilled water through the sterile injection port. There was more mycelium growth which was great and I kept pumping in water every week. After a month (now the whole thing was way off the schedule that was sent by the bag vendor), I believed I started to see dark green or grey matter which I knew must be mold so I knew the project was dead. I want to get good at growing these Golden Teacher mushrooms. I guess I have to do something different and the bag stuff might be easy to mess up. I've seen the plastic tub method. What do you all suggest, should I try the bag thing again, and this time order the spores first so once I get the bag, I inject right away? I know I could look up stuff in Google but I thought I could get some feedback here on what I did wrong. I'm curious what is needed to make the bag method work more reliably. The vendor made it look easy. Or I ditch that method and try the plastic tub or closed container technique or something like that which will bring more reliable results? Any golden teachers here in human form, help me out!

Go to the top thread in this cultivation section. Read the hitchhikers guide by beefsupremejr. It has all of the links and information you need to get successful in this hobby. Do pf tek first. Once youβve got that figured out then move on to other teks. Donβt google unless you want a bunch of bad information.

It doesn't work this way. Be careful!

please read this thread. it's the guide another commenter posted. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/28501530/fpart/16#28672228
while the grain bags you bought have a filter, you don't need to worry about them drying out. once you have active mycelium, you're good to go. when you added additional spores and water, there is a good chance you introduced contamination at that time.
my advice for you would be to try a PF tek. you likely have all the big equipment you need aside from some small mason jars, BRF, and vermiculite.
good luck friend, follow the PF tek
