Found this

It looks like you're doing everything right

If you close the door to your garage, no one will even know what you're doing

I shook this jar 5 days ago, myc seems to be growing well, but some spots look like they may be trouble...maybe it's just dark spots on the grain, it looks like all millet but it's from a bag of wbs.  I'm referring mostly to the little spots pressed against the wall of the jar, that don't look fully colonized.  Do you think this is contam?

Looks fine

Is there anything you can add to casing, pre or post pasturization, to help reduce/prevent cobweb mold?

Anyone have first hand experience with king oysters? Have a quart of colonized grain from a grocery store clone I took and I'm just wondering what people have used for a sub. HWFP is easily attainable, I also have a small bag of oak chips you'd use in an electric smoker already. Would chips and coir work? Thinking I'll make a block in a fahtlock and see if that works as I dont have a martha or anything. Maybe cut the top of the bag off post colonization and toss it in a water tub?

Grew them for years and years. They do well off plain chips, but hwfp is a little faster, and harvests significantly increase when you add 5% wheat or oat bran to your (nitrogen poor, cause wood) sub. I used to have woodchips lying here and there, piles of them, so I used chips. Soak them to fc. Let drain really well. Mix in the dry bran and sterilize according to volume. They colonize very fast and if your spawn is clean it will smell wonderful, like anise.

Kings want a lot of air exchange like any oyster, if you want fruits that look nice, don't put them in a tub or fruit them in a bag. They do pretty well outdoors, or in the shower, just not in a water tub / EZ dial like situation.

Ime This is very typical for millet.  Things can tend to look a tad bit  uncolonized  on one to a few tiny single seeds here and there.  Giving it kind of a  patchy appearance.

Should break and shake my bag yet or give it some time?

Seems I'm a little early but I really don't know. 20-30% colonized is what I'm reading. I imagine it's colonized somewhat in the center as I put LC in three spots there. Seems to be taking hold nicely on bottom of bag at least.

It's day 9 from liquid culture. Treasure coast cubensis.

Im trying to figure out the best way to consume these things. I have been just crunching on em in a folded piece of bread with peanut butter on it. This way kinda sucks stomach aches i feel the food actually takes from the potency and i have been thinkng of doing a tea or honestly any other way that wont kill the potency but tea is the one im on recently. So my question is does any one know any good teks for consumption maybe a good tea tek or any that you think is good plz and thanks also ive noticed sleeping isnt really a thing when taking these magic mushys anybody find any cures for that cause that would also be awesome thank for any help .., this one is a lil wordy sry

Hell ya .  Break that shit up.  Its def not too early. 

Honestly. Its never too early. Along its youve got like somthing the size of a us 25c coin.

you can do it if you've got just a little quarter size amount if you wanted..sometimes when I get to like a half dollar or so I'll do it just to kick things off a little quicker. 

That's a good amount right there though.

You could try the OG Lemon Tek...put the fruits in lemon juice for an hour, then drink the lemon juice, it does make the effects more potent

And yeah, Magic Shrooms and sleep dont really happen at the same time, although if you get some fly agaric, it does act as a sleep aid, there have been some recent posts in the pub that can attest to that
