Why do they grow sideways and not up?

Hi everyone,
I started my first mushroom mini monotubs and am wondering why they don’t go straight up?
Happy about any advice. Thank you 🙏🏼

What’s this black stuff? Safe to eat?

Just plucked this. The only shroomy that grew. Is it safe to eat with this black stuff on the side? Also can you eat it wet?

NewBee What am I Doing Wrong??

This is my first MonoTub grow (FCPE) the first flush only produced about 200G, and the second only 8 fruits and 161G. I soaked the cake for about 2-3 hrs after the first flush.The biggest fruit of this second flush had fallen over, most the vales were broken, and had just started to drop spores when I harvested the first. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for looking!

Looking for improvement

I will explain my Situation: it is my first grow indeed but not from scratch. I bought a ready2grow bag wich was fully colonized.

After my first harvest i made a dumb mistake with the bag and transfered everything to i think it is a "shoebox" which is unmodified.

I just keep both lids open.

After another 2 successful flushes, now my flush stalled midway. And the fuzzy feet does worry me a little bit as it gets higher very fast.

And now I just want to improve my box, as I think the cake has not finished from my newb eyes.

I'm 90% sure on that.

Humidity is between 94-97% all the time

Sry if it is bad grammar. Non native English speaker here

Final Results (First Time)

Finally depleted the cake (two flushes), dried, cleaned, and sealed my harvest. Came out to a little under 10 oz. dried. APEs are on deck and ready to S2B in about a week!

When to Harvest?

First time running these, not sure exactly when to harvest. Secondly, does my projects look good?

Found from old batch. Possible to spawn to grain?

Came across this jar from a grow a few years back. Jar’s been sealed and kept in a tote in dark, dry area. Looks clean. Think it might transfer to fresh jars of WBS?

Frustrated with rice

First off yes I know there are other mediums to work with. Do I have a lot of money? no. Do I keep going back to rice because it’s super dang cheap? Yes. That’s my own dang fault right there. I know it.

It either somehow doesn’t colonize (eventually going bad) while another identical one from same batch (and lc) will run strong, or it starts strong then stalls, and even a shake won’t get it going again and seems to dry out in the jar.

So my question is this - do y’all find more success with brown rice if you do not have a filter vent on the jar lid for the moisture to escape over time? or do you keep the jars in an enclosed area so that there’s no opportunity for it to evaporate in this way?

I’ve tried to address consistency to the best of my ability and tried various guides, including ones popularized on this forum so I have done some research but boy oh boy do y’all like to disagree with each other. 🤣 since I’ve tried to keep things consistent it’s that filter and evaporation that keeps bringing me back to question.

And yes, I know I could switch to another medium. I don’t have a lot of sources here and Amazon doesn’t deliver much. I believe it’s referred to as “the boonies“. I can’t tell you how proud folks were when we got a Walmart.

Working with both cubes and pans. Insta pot . I’m using the proper brown rice not parboiled.

Edit
I’ve requested that our Walmart carry millet or rye berries here, but unless it can go into a meth lab, they aren’t incredibly interested in carrying it

Micropore tape question

Is this the right tape to modify my tub?

I wonder that its not White as i see in all of your tubs.

I dont want to buy the wrong one but i dont see differences, only between colors.

Genuine Question

What mushrooms grow the fastest and how long would it take for them to grow.

I’m on my summer break rn and have about a 2 month window is it possible and how much leeway do I have.

Ultrasonic Diffusers

Ultrasonic Diffusers

So I'm not always around to mist the inside of my monotub for proper humidity. I've been experimenting with an Ultrasonic Diffuser that's normally used as a home air freshener. Of course it would have to be unused with no essential oils ever in it. They can be set to create a small mist several times a minute and will maintain a proper humidity level for mushrooms. I've seen something similar in expensive monotub grow kits. The one I've been playing with is easily adaptable to accept a hose to run directly into the monotub. Any thoughts one way or another? These diffusers can be bought for under $15 at Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/SPLITSKY-Aromatherapy-Essential-Humidifier-Night%EF%BC%8CSuitable/dp/B0B7RCCPM4/ref=sr\_1\_28?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.PZVOAp\_Ik9ajtJO9HhM6TUgSCCFs6Cz\_DdPmTqI7Pmf21ppOlLxKJAzoKeKOuvvi1WxXeMAmwVBgPGEXRvhxJbNIGXxhXBdz6VPMQYyKublPEvEv1y4gZsDcdL1whDbBuiGpGA7YwSF\_yKfmv6wE1X1gIqA51ZZL6aTzFrr87hqD-27YWHyFDJWKDMGEomc5UA6n6QsJnV-bkyOvUHNzzBASShAB8-8H1Gglx5JIf\_r7otYn\_PhpZIQJ7h4y20yBUNVkc1SIVBcOSehCBzzTW7zOcJYFvFGdgAE55I2tUmg.yPbvnMruoujF6CQO5B4LT\_9EYydfZ2YDuPtORHCgv7M&dib\_tag=se&keywords=air%2Bfreshener%2Bplug%2Bin%2Bthat%2Buses%2Bessential%2Boils%2Band%2Bwater&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1783089885&sr=8-28&th=1

B+ spores came out beautifully! 🍄

First flush complete!Honestly surprised by how quickly they took off, they’ve grown in full force and look great so far.

For anyone who’s tried B+ before, what was your experience like? I’m especially curious about potency and what a cautious first experience looked like for you. I’d rather start low than overdo it.
Thanks in advance! 🙌
