Hoping to get some insight into this.

S2B: 8/8, 1:1.5 ratio, grain jar was thick milkshake myc, probably bacterial, smelled mushy. 1.5 quart used, direct to fruiting conditions, holes poked 1 " above sub level , 2" apart and then at top some holes again. Ambient >30 deg C RH 45~75% (its monsoon seaon here) no fixed light regimen just ambient indirect light. Cubes RW.

They are very thin and dangly, shall I just keep the bag open for more FAE? I suspect it will dry out if I do that.

Give them more light

I think it’s likely my most controversial or unconventional hill I often will die on, but EVERY single time I’ve seen long worm looking fruits with pinhead caps- they are being grown in the dark.

Some more extreme examples




I could be wrong, and it could be other factors at play, like we already know low FAE causes thin fruit. But every single time I see the wormy look it seems to do with light, and the pattern recognition is recognizing patterns

Are you growing out clones or multispore cultures? Clones tend to more consistently produce canopies. Squeaky clean spawn is important too, though you may have that already, can't know from this post.

Subsequent flushes are always sparser (though with bigger mushrooms) for me.

A dry ounce per quart jar on the first flush isn't bad. Honestly that's usually what I hit with canopy shoeboxes, but I understand you can do consistently better with more substrate (and hence more water) per jar.

Looks like it putrified. Left on the sub a little too long?

I would also toss that

I'm assuming this is toast? It looks pretty weird

Some people will tell you to spawn that 1:1 in a shoebox but ive never gotten anything worthwhile spawning jars like that. Toss anything you even suspect of being bacterial is my advice.
