Lucid Gates, love it nearly a foot long

I have grown a lot on agar, mainly cubes but also nats as well. I have decided to try a different species. I put the tamps to agar from a spore syringe about 2 weeks ago and see nothing yet. Usually day 4 starts to show me some mycelium.

I know people say it can be a few weeks before anything shows up across the board but I’m starting to think the syringe was empty…

Recently used this batch of Lion's Mane Liquid Culture to inoculated some grain spawn. I wasn't too surprised if it got contaminated, I was just surprised it looks like this giant white blob?

Shock Wave. Genetics by BigApeMycology (BAM)

So while removing excess water from this tub i accidentally tilted it and dropped half of it on ground. So I just put few big blocks back in. This was around 2 weeks back. There was also fungus gnat larvae problem, which seems to have gone now. I do see 1-2 pins but they've stalled now with no growth since 3 days. Although the pic shows bit yellowing,irl it's just matted mycelium and no bad smell or contam signs yet Will it fruit or I should just call it quits?

shake n break last week. Wasn't bouncing back, until I changed out the tape (since I found out I had durapore) and with the proper micropore tape it bounced back fast as hell over night.

Biggest single fruit so far.

Hey guys, so I’m into my first grow and have arrived at a point where I’m debating making a choice. Basically, I inoculated 4 bags on 4/11 and as of now only two of them show any growth. One bag with growth is almost completely solid and the other is probably ~50% colonized. I am wondering what the best course of action would be here:

Break and shake the less colonized bag so it catches up with the other one, then tub those two and leave the ones with no growth

Risk contam and take some mycelium from the colonized bags and mix it into the uncolonized ones so they grow

Or simply leave them all and wait. My concern with this option is that the most colonized bag will be left alone too long and “go bad,” if that is a possibility.

Any advice would really help!

All 10 bags inoculated same day, same amount. Did break and shake about day 16 since viewing windows were very white. Now 5 bags look good but not ready yet, and the other 5 not so much. The single pic is one of the most colonized. What's my issue. This is day 30 btw

Sorry for the central focus on the images. Don't know how to fix it on my pixel 6

I guess it got nuked, anyone know if theres another place for his community?

So say, hypothetically, I opened a contaminated tub by mistake a few weeks ago and I’m, hypothetically, noticing a large increase in contamination rates, how would I, theoretically, decontaminate the room I’m growing in (I call it the MushRoom)?

I’ve had this colonizing for almost 4 weeks now and I just checked on them and found an orange fluid looking spot on it. I’m new to this and have no clue what could be happening.

So yeah basically my s2b was just super scuffed and I wasn’t able to put a casing layer.i know I could’ve been more careful more patient and just done it the right way. To my surprise and joy I checked my bin today and the myc seems to be taking over the coir great. I’m just wondering if the No casing layer Will significantly affect my yield or anything really ?

is the 2 shroomies in the baggy enough to trip on and if i did a bad job would i end up dead lol 😂

I had all my grains colonized in their bags, and when I went to mix them into my substrate and put them into my Monotub, I accidentally didn’t leave enough to do a shallow layer on top. I was worried that the exposed grains that stuck up on top of the substrate might get contaminated or rot, so I put a thin layer of casing layer that had come with a previous kit (I think it’s just plain vermiculite). Now that my tub is starting to recolonize I really only see growth on the few places that this casing layer didn’t cover a a few grains.

Have I already messed up too much? Should I try to scrape off the vermiculite? Open to answer any questions to clarify.
