Help with an exit strategy on these reishi. [medicinal]

I’ve been fruiting these reishi for a month or so. They’re still growing away, but are close to the top of the bag. I was thinking of opening the bag to see if they’ll conk or just leaving them alone. The white tips mean they’re still growing? Is there a risk of waiting too long? Any advice appreciated. Also, there’s some crystal clear water at the bottom. Not sure if it’s worth draining?

Kept in a Martha tent on the bottom. Bag is sealed except for the passive air patch. Temps run 72-76F and humidity 85-90%.

Reishi pre-colonized block looking good. I haven’t touched it. [medicinal]

Reishi is shooting up nicely. Is there anything I should/could do to improve the situation or is it best to stay the course?

I have this Blue Oyster spawn that I was going to put on straw this weekend. Are there any potential issues with over colonization? [gourmet]

Looking for advice on harvesting and condition adjustments. [medicinal]

I’m thinking these are about ready to pick. Some off morphology. They’re also looking a little pink which I don’t think is normal.

I put cordyceps on plain brown rice and now I have a spawn and I don’t know what to do with it [medicinal]

I’m thinking of popping the top and throwing a bag over it. Maybe top it with coco? Shotgun tub?

This brown rice was inoculated with Turkey Tail LC ON 8/17. [medicinal]

It looks good to me, but I thought it was supposed to be a slow colonization. It has me wondering if it’s something other than Mycelium.

Found a Cordyceps fruit body on a dead moth. Now it’s on an agar plate. Already growing

I see a small spot of bacteria by the cap. Hoping the mycelium will outgrow it!

I found what appears to be a dead moth with various growths. Is that a Cordyceps fruit??

First grow blue oyster every time

First attempt at growing. Inoculated popcorn and brown rice with Blue Oyster LC. The rice looks good to me. The corn is looking moldy to me?

I have this little colony that I think might need to be rescued?
