Creating life and watching it grow is wonderful, but I may have gotten over my head here.

What am I doing wrong? This is my very first attempt at growing ANYTHING (I’ve never even had a house plant).

I used an all-in-one kit and inoculated my bag with 10 cc’s of Golden Teacher liquid culture. That was about 9 weeks ago. I tried following various YouTube tutorials, but I may have messed up and tried too many things in my excitement.

I’m trying to grow Golden Teachers, but they just don’t want to grow up. Any ideas?
Since I have side pins, should I take this all out of the bag and put it in something else, or leave them be? I don’t have a plastic monotub, but I do have a glass baking dish if that would work.

Also, why is it that the center of the kit isn’t growing anything?

And what’s up with the black pins/mushrooms? Is that contamination, or did I over-mist them, or are they dead?

Any advice or pointers would be appreciated, thank you.

I used an all-in-one kit but got lost in YouTube tutorials on what to do after colonization.

I’m trying to grow GT (golden teachers, is that right?) but they just don’t want to grow up. Any ideas?

this is fun, but I’m truly lost here.

I tried following the 4 part guide, but since I used an all-in-one kit a lot of the initial instructions in the awesome 4-part guide didn’t apply (I think).
