I am experimenting with compost as a substrate, and altough I am still relatively new to growing mushrooms, it has been taking a long time. It's been about 2 and a 1/2 months and they are about 40% covered. Is it the substrate or something else??
Always remember, the glass is ALWAYShalf-full!

If there is air exchange and good temps then it should be good, but there are better substrates

im having a similar problem on vermaculite/rice flour. There at day 49 right now and 2 jars are almost fully colonized and theres one tiny pin on on jar and another jar is about 40% and has like 13 huge pins on it............i noticed that when the room got really hot the mycleium grew faster and pins started.
