Indoor Psilocybe Azurescens [actives]

I finally got Azurescens to fruit in my Monster fridge! In January I bought a Monster beverage fridge off facebook marketplace for this project for a great price. The fridge was set to 58f with a 10 degree differential and took roughly 5 months to finally fruit. I just left it in the sac-O2 container with the lid on but not secured till I saw the pin. Then put it in a microppose monotub with perlite and and water at the bottom to finish fruiting. Hands down the coolest thing I’ve fruited and a dream come true after almost 10 years of cultivation. Thanks for looking 🤘🏼

Jack Frost 🥶 does this growth look okay? I’m worried [contamination]

I had one day last week my ac shut off during the day temperature was 80-85 degrees for 5 hours before I got it cooled back down. Bag was inoculated 1 week ago.

Do we like or no?

Okay this is my first grow and I've had the lid on with one side unlatched. It's pretty damn wet in there so I'm wondering if I should flip the lid. It's my first grow and these are six quart tubs with the white lid from Walmart.

It's pretty damn wet in there but I don't really see any pooling so I'm hoping I'm okay there.

I'm just wondering if you guys think this looks okay so far or if I have problems.

Thank you for your time and information.

[contamination] Mold in grain spawn bag using LC, what went wrong?

Hey everyone, I've been starting my mushroom growing journey and I wanted to start pretty boilerplate so I purchased a LC and sterilized grain spawn bags with a self healing port. I used a still air box from amazon and sprayed it down with 70% alcohol, then I sprayed the spawn bag and healing port. I washed my arms thoroughly and wore gloves and then sprayed my gloves with alcohol and let them dry. I flame sterilized the needle on the lc, put the needle into the sab carefully through the arm hole and wiped the syringe down with alcohol and injected it. I feel like I was thorough in my sanitization but a week later all I see is spots of green and no mycelium.

The only thing i can think of is that we had a crazy heatwave the last few days and ambient room temps were in the mid 90's. Is that enough of a factor to proliferate bacteria and mold over an lc? I used around 3ml for a 3 pound bag. Should I have used more? I want to try again but I'm just not sure what I did wrong and how to do better next time. Thanks!

Contamination or germinating?

i dropped a little too much spore water from the syringe on this so it got all over the plate. Now I'm seeing growth all over the plate. The syringe I made was definitely not sterile. So now I'm confused as to what's growing on my plate. This is upside down because there's condensation pooling on the other side.

Is my first monotube contaminated [contamination]

Hi,

This is my first time trying monotube. My jars were fully colonized and my coco coir sterilized.

At first everything seems to be going well but I noticed that the ''mycelium'' had an unusual ''silver'' look. Is this normal or might be contaminated?

Is there a tool to help with getting mushroom powder into capsules? [actives]

I am grinding up some of my mushrooms and wondered if there was a tool to help make the process of putting powder into pills a bit easier

First time grower - does this look ok? Mixed 2 liters of popcorn mycelia with pasteurized, sun bleached horse poop. Don’t know if what I’m looking at is good or not [contamination]

Mycelium Growth Started Strong But Now has stalled. [actives]

When do I just say F it and take it out of the jars to see if it shrooms. Been 3 months.

[actives] B+ Are those clumps hyphal knots?

Is my first project , this tub is aggressively colonizing i sent it to bulk sub about 4-5 days ago.

Did I activate fruiting conditions too soon? A bunch of hyphal knots but my cake isn’t really fully colonized. Any advice? [actives]

Tried something different with this tub. I’ll usually S2B and let sit until fully colonized with packing tape on mod holes. But with this one I went into FC with micropore immediately after S2B. The photos are a tad misleading as the patches of un-colonized - moderately colonized substrate are more apparent in person. I’ve been misting twice a day because I’m in a dry climate, and started fanning cause the mycelium began to point upwards. Anything else I’m missing? Should I expect pins soon even if the sub isn’t completely colonized on the surface? I’m not a huge newb but I’ve never tried this method before so it’s a little different for sure. Thanks.
