This is my second attempt at growing. The first time I used 1 pint jars instead of half pint jars and they took forever to start cultivating. Only one jar fully colonized while the rest are still only half way there after about 4 months! So anyhow, I tried again, this time with the right sized jars (btw, I am using the pf tek method). This time all of my jars (minus one) are almost fully cultivated after about 2 months (which I know, is still a long time). I found forest green mold in one of my jars (and tossed it), another jar has colonized all the way to the point that there are mushrooms growing inside of the jar (pins I think, sorry I'm new to this) so I removed the cake from the jar and on one of the pins I see a small green spot. I couldn't see it before I opened the jar and now I'm afraid that it may be green mold. Is it normal to have mushrooms already starting to grow before birthing? And if so, is it normal to see any kind of dark green color or does that always mean forest green?

I have them in my room, which I keep at about 70 to 75 degrees most of the time. I took the foil off after I sterilized the jars, was I supposed to keep it on?
I think that the color is probably bruising, I'll def take a picture of it tomorrow, I would right now but I already have it soaking.

Question to anyone who knows, my mushrooms just started growing in my terrarium. They let off a black dust like substance on to the sides of the terrarium, wondering if that's normal or if I need to toss them.

Ok, so this is my first grow ever and I've run into a problem. When I took one of my cakes out of the jar (using pf tek btw) there was a layer of white fuzz on the top instead of the dry verm that should have been there. I took it out, washed and soaked it anyway and put it in my terrarium. Now (4 days later) no mushrooms have grown from the cake, just a thick layer of white surrounding the entire cake. I don't know what this is, should I toss it or is this normal?
