OK, well... your jars look waaaay too wet. esp for 25 days in.

Those last few pics with the jar not fully colonized at the bottom remind me of some white contams that i had a while ago. I'd keep my eye on that.

The one you circled in red. If it's more grey and not perfectly white, toss it. It's contaminated.

That first jar looks pretty good tho! A little wet, but still growing.

I believe if you had used coarsely ground rice instead of rice flour (im assuming you used that since you said PF) you would see more distinct rizomorphic growth instead of the pillowy dense growth im seeing in your pictures.

No worries tho, you'll get some fruits :thumbup: Just dunk and roll!!!


oh yea, do yourself a favor and get 1/2 pint jars for pf. It will go aloooot faster.  :grin:

good job on your first grow
they all look healthy to me...the red circle doesnt look like contam but the pics at the bottom look a bit wet.
otherwise, they look completely healthy...

im guessing your were obsessive with the cleanliness of your surroundings when you prepared your cakes and inoculated them? keep it up! and excellent job.

oh and the ones that are a little wet at the bottom, dont worry about em they should fill out when the myc on top of the jar starts to dry up the sub...the bottom will fill out quickly then and be ready to fruit when the sub is colonized (from my experience).

you open the cake up further to contam if you take it out before its fully colonized. that being said, IMO worst case scenario is you fruit the cake early and cut the uncolonized portion off.. just enough into the colonized portion of the cake and dunk/roll. ive done this and noticed little difference in the potency or size of the mushrooms that grew out. although youd likely get fewer numbers due to less surface area to produce pins.

sorry if i ramble hope it all helps
any questions about my response pm me

**edit**
psycho i think the red circle is myc groing against the glass on brf and has a dif look because of it...but ive been wrong before
so i would at least isolate it and keep an eye on it...youll know for sure if its contam by the time it pins in the jar

also good pcs

It could be, but the structure look different than that of the rest of the jar. Theres a bit of glare, but if it looks odd to him, it probably is.

Hey, thanks for the quick responses guys. I turned the excessively wet jars upside down, so they'll hopefully continue to grow. I assumed the wetness in the first jar was myc piss, because it only showed up within the last week or so, but I'm definitely going to adjust the moisture content of my next batch of cakes, if I don't switch over to grain.... Anyway, I isolated the possibly contaminated jar, and I'll definitely keep an eye on it.

The only thing I'm still unclear on is whether or not that first jar looks ready to be birthed or not, it's been totally covered like that for the last week. It looks good to me, but I don't have any experience, so I'm not really sure. Should I just wait until it starts pinning before birthing and dunking, or am I good to go? Thanks again.

if its fully colonized for a week id dunk/roll it..humidity and fae youll see fruits coming on quickly
look for your cakes to begin to shrink away from the inside of the jar after they are full colonized...thats when i always dunked/rolled and usually had fruits inside a couple of weeks to eat
