Do they look fuzzy? Fuzzy fruiting bodies are a sign of too-high RH. That might be why they appear white.

they don't really look fuzzy... I'm using a digi hygrometer that my friend let me borrow and it usually says around 90% although i've seen it go up to 95% so I don't think it's the RH (although the hygrometer could be innacurate). Is there such a thing as albino B+? haha that'd be siick

Well... still growing but caps remain light... and it seems the biggest fruit doesn't even have a veil. Also, most of the fruit are kind of flat and not too meaty. Could these not be cubes..?? It came from a B+ syringe I got from spores101.com...
Here's another updated pic... any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any tub/enclosure that helps to maintain room temperature and upper 90's humidity will work well. Fan a few times per day, regardless of how many holes you have for air exchange.
For years, folks didn't use lime or gypsum and they still got fruits. We now know that by using them we can improve the health of our projects and resist contamination, but failing to use lime or gypsum does not guarantee failure, any more than using them guarantees success.
Those almost look like oyster mushrooms suffering from high CO2 and low light. Are you certain of species? RR

They get fanned 5-6 times a day... so it's not CO2 buildup. This came from a B+ syringe that I got from spores101.com...

I was going to suggest high CO2 as well, but if you're fanning that regularly.
I don't think there's much any of us can do except wait for your next photos... I'm interested to see how this will turn out!

I have to agree with RR. Those don't appear to be cubensis at all. They appear to be stressed Hypsizygus tessulatus (Beech Oyster).

Pan cyans??? I've never seen Pan cyan pins, but the full grown fruit are tall and skinny and whitish.
Let's just hope some fucker at Spores101 didn't slip you some Destroying Angel spores

Not pans either. And destroying angels can't be cultivated.

They look more like a psilocybe now. Break one off and see if it turns blue!

Here is the microscopy for this sample. The mushrooms didn't have many spores but the few I found are tiny, clear and nearly spherical. It seems to be a species of Collybia judging by the color, spore shape and toughness of the mushrooms, but I don't have the keys for this genus and the cultivated mushrooms may not be natural in form. Suggestions on the identity welcome.

Well, I had lost my camera cable and couldn't upload, but here's what they looked like right before I picked them.


Thanks Workman for trying to help me ID.

Did you ever test them to see if they bruise blue. Someone mentioned to do that and you never posted that you did. You could still be in luck.
Although they don't look like they will bruise IMO.
Good job on the grow.

o yeah, I pinched and broke some and no blue.... their stems were kinda weird cuzz some were hollow. Also... these things are tiiiiny, when dried they're really thin.
It's all ok though I've got a couple casings in the FC (for sure P.c.) and a basket of Pink Oysters that's colonizing.. Soon enough I'll have some diff kinds of mushies! What a fun and exciting hobby this is.
