did I make a mistake?

after I knocked up my jars and covered them back up with foil with rubberbands for the first 3 days. then I read here that you want to leave them uncovered. I have had them in an incubator for 6 days at 82F and I still have no myc growth. I took off the lids to one of the jars and sniffed it and it smells like mushrooms, is my growth just behind by a couple days because of putting the foil back around the jars?

No, it's fine. Relax and take the next few days while things get going to read all you can. Good luck to you. RR

Don't take the lids off anymore, though. But yeah, the mushroom smell is a good sign!

Yeah, jsut chill..it's an exciting time but you have to be patient.  While the mushroom smell is a good sign becarefull with sticking your nose in the jar... if there is mold that yu cannot see you ma find yourself in trouble.
Peace,

I just sniffed one of the jars, I was being impatient because it had been 6 days and no signs of life yet, but I started to see some very small white specs on the inside of the jars this morning.

That is always a good sign, it takes a little bit for them to get started, but once it is started it doesnt take long.

well it has been six days still with no signs of life, I think the spores I got were bunk, but none of the sponsors will ship to a no no place so I have to find an alternate source.

Six days isn't too long. Hang in there for a few more before you really get sad.

Well there you go. I know it's hard, but try to leave them alone for a couple of days. You will notice more drastic changes that way. And don't open any more jars.
