They are contaminated. Toss and start over

Hard to trust something you're not confirming as clean yourself. Only takes a single living bacterial cell to kill the whole grow. If you're going to gamble on purchased genetics at least try a liquid culture syringe, otherwise your best bet would be to grow some healthy mycelium out on an agar tray and use that

Or make some pf tek jars. They're much more forgiving

Hey Zukodama. Can you detail your grow steps? We can give you some tips for the next one

Here’s two off-the-cuff. Hope these land softly

HHG — indispensable — link in my sig

The grain is overcooked. There are too many burst kernels. Burst grain is an invitation for bacteria due to the soft mushy wet food being out in the open

Wishing you good luck on your next bag

I bought a live culture ( notspores) from our trusted vendors here. Then some reasonably priced and reviewed seller of spawn bags off Amazon.

Took a shower, new clothes drowned my computer desk in isopropyl. Drown the surface of the bags in isopropyl, gloved up  used more isopropyl. Then got the syringe ready.

Wiped everything down again including hands and forearms. Prepped alcohol pad then started injection. Between each bag I wipped the needle down.

I am still a noob, so don’t take anything I say as gospel, but I ordered my first syringe and spent 3 months trying to get it to work. Eventually I got a new syringe and everything started working and I have more shrooms than I can possibly use. It doesn’t matter how “trusted” the vendor is, syringes still come fucked, you really need to do the agar work and verify.

Thanks. I highly recommend you embrace the HHG. You’ll change you’re technique after reading it

It will teach you how to make clean spawn; clean spawn is the key to the mushroom kingdom

Besides the issues with buying everything and having no control over their quality control, how old they are or damage that may have occurred during shipping, wiping with ISO only sanitizes and can cause contamination.  You should be heating the syringe with a torch until it's red to sterilize it between bags.  The SHIP that you injected through is also not sterile, so you can be pushing bacteria into the bag using that inoculation method.

Thanks for the input, I don't do agar work because I need to be clandestine.
