They will consolidate in the fruiting chamber...
So as long as they are 100.01% colonized before birth they should be fine.

I don’t birth cakes until I see pins. What are you afraid of?

Don't be so hard on yourself, you've not screwed up (imo). 

That thread doesn't say he tapes... he doesn't!

But he does mention that an occasional misting is needed.

Me thinks he cases also,  which adds more moisture.

I like top layer at spawn, just my preference (optional)

You can do as thy heart desires. If your spawn was clean you'll be able to get some mushrooms

Came home to this. Looks contaminated but with what? Never had this happen before. Can I save it? Just scoop that out? The top was beggining to form knots and pins and then got covered with this white smooth sheet of nothingness. Turned blue the other day but I think that was from droplets falling off the lid. Not sure what the black dots are though. I thought maybe I accidentally dropped some coco coir on it but doesn't look like it.

Made 2 totes and had a few jars that showed signs of contamination so i set them aside and isolated them two of the jars started to pin so i moved the cakes to a different small box... the question is would you keep these fruit? Does the obvious mold impact them?

What is this?
At first thought was agar

But said coir, so now not sure...

Either way I'd say that those black dots are mold spores, especially if you hadn't noticed till now.

Lots of time you'll see the blue "bruising" before you'll see obvious signs of contamination.

Easy to test even though we know it's a goner,

Take q-tip to the black does it come off easily?
Spray/pipette some peroxide/h20, fizz readily?

If you live any where with a mild winter (if you're in the norther hemisphere) I'd say bury that some place favorable for mushrooms.

Would these make any difference if you kept, 🤔? 
Are you planing on taking prints or clones?

It's not something I'd want growing next to something I was going to consume - would probably have a negative effect on the trip (even if it's just all in my head).

Next up, is that vermiculite in the bottom? Couldnt find perlite, eh. Why not just use water tub?

I'm new to "tubbing" so this was my first ever practice run at a tub. My idea was to have 4 trays in 1 tub going at once. If any problems arose, i could pull the 1 dish so as to not lose all of them. I didn't have trays at the time so I used circular Pyrex dishes. These are 2 dishes of the same strain Chillbilly. Both used 1 pint of spawn to 1 pint of cvg. I then covered the mixed spawn sub with a sprinkle of just straight coir. The covering of coir colonized and was left as is. It was a little lumpy at one point. Had knots forming. Looked like it was about to go off. Then it got blanketed. Almost looked as if it started colonizing the surface again. Just completely covered the surface. I just swiped with a qtip and it looks like black dust so I'm assuming spores. There's also what looks like light tan spores around it as well. These dishes share a tub with 2 other dishes of JMF which have already flushed twice and about to flush again. No contamination spotted but I also cased after second flush so I can't see the surface. I decided to case one of the contamination dishes and leave the other as is. See what happens I guess. Maybe I'll pull it out. Probably should.

Thank you very much. I figure I will add a casing layer on Friday? Or should I just let it fruit? I will have to figure this out quick apparently lol

Does clorine/chloramine in tap water affect the health of cake when rehydrating?

Is plain coco coir or coco coir with vermiculite okay to use as a casing layer? Or should I use peat moss? I've never tried using a casing layer before and I want to try it out, but all I have on hand is coco coir and vermiculite. I also have gypsum and agricultural lime if that makes a difference.

Thanks. Yup I'm growing cubes. Is straight coco coir good enough or is adding some vermiculite better?

Can anyone tell me if this is ok?  A couple stubbornly uncolonized grains (millet) with pinkish spots on them.  This was a yesterday pic, and today it seems the mycelium is finally winning and growing over whatever this is?  I've been worried about it.

Of stupid ignorant people mostly... Oh the mushrooms you mean?

That i will f something up. That they will not grow normally, that i shouldn't roll them in verm if they pin cause that is not good. Overall that i'm not following procedure as is written, i'm a beginner. I have to ask, i guess???

Anyways, that are question mark thoughts i have.

What should i do with these?
First and third picture are the same jar. On one side i have some green colour there, that which is incircled with red, hopefully you can see it better if you zoom it. On other side of the same jar i have mushrooms as you can see.
Should i just toss it or can i get something of that jar, what to do?

Pic in the middle, i also have sone green-ish colour circled by red, less then in previous case. Hopefully you can see it if you zoom it.
Same question, what to do?
