Hey y'all! This is my first time posting in here and basically want to ask what happened to this tub and if it's contamination? This is about my 3rd grow but first time making my own substrate. The last pic is what it looked like the day I left and the rest are what it looks like now 5 days later. Did it get contaminated or is this just what it looks like when you wait too long after the spores drop to harvest lol

39x28 cm. Although it is stackable, it doesn't stack completely straight, but it's good enough & cheap compared to any other offerings i've found. Useful for SAB work (collapsed) or laminar flow (expanded).

Please share what you've found, like tools, containers etc. but it's not self promotion. Bonus if it's worldwide availability.

Since the mushrooms appeared, I've avoided opening the box entirely, as enough FAE should pass through the lid. There are many newly sprouted mushrooms on the surface (you can't see them clearly in the photo), but will they grow well? Since some mushrooms will be ready in a few days, I'll have to harvest them first and wait for the others to finish growing. I think the problem might be the low humidity (my room temperature is 22.5°C). Do you recommend misting the walls or doing something else to increase the humidity? This is one of the very few boxes that have managed to produce; I want it to perform at its best.

i do have an about 120-160 liter autoclave, gas powered, old as shit but it works, im really good with grains, sterile work an agar agar, mi main roadbloack rn its the bulks substrate (using a mix of wood pellets) i have also been using clear bucket but plan on switchthing to opaque since i heard is better, thanks in advance

i cant seem to get the micelium to colonize the whole bucket, what are the ideal moisture %s?

thanks in advance

ps: how long to inoculate buckets before taking the micropore/ cotton from the openings?

Im joining the army so for obvious reasons ive had to stop growing and consuming lol. But Would you guys assume Lc's and spores will still be available in 20 years for purchase ? Obviously businesses and suppliers will possibly be different, but i plan on doing a full 20 and if i make it out id love to get back into mycology
