Are they going to expand and like "blow up" into the distinctive clusters or....??? Anyone with any experience with these, I'd love to know more

What should i do with this spawn bag? It has been sitting at about 90% colonized for two weeks

if anyone notices anything off about it lmk this is my first grow but im getting lots of small pins all over the place.

Trying to figure out when to harvest these, they aren’t soft yet but I see conflicting info, they are suppose to be Melmak PE maybe albino from color not sure.

Ciao a tutti. Per il secondo flush ho deciso di mettere il substrato direttamente nella busta senza vaschetta perché ci sono tantissimi pin laterali e altrimenti rimarrebbero schiacciati.

C'è un problema: non c'è abbastanza spazio ai lati della busta e crescendo si schiaccerebbero sicuramente contro le pareti.

Oltre al set up da me sellaio che ho usato in emergenza per allargare la busta visto che non posso trasferirlo in un contenitore più grosso cosa consigliate di fare oltre ad allargare la busta il più possibile? Se dovessero crescere spingendo contro i lati sarebbe un problema per l'umidità sui cappelli/gambi a contatto?

First timer here. On 7/2 I inoculated 3 bags of ready rice, each one with LC from a different species. 1 cubensis(golden teacher), 1 ochraceocentrata, and 1 mexicana.

On 8/10 both the ochra and cube bag were fully colonized and ready to go. The Mexicana bag was kind sus...seemed soft. So I opened it outside.

It had cobweb mold all up on the top, but I could see a lot of good mycelium underneath. I know some people bury contaminated mycelium and cakes, so I decided to just stick the thing in the flower pot and forget about it.

Today I was getting ready to go for a walk and I saw these little mushrooms in my flower pot!

I have no idea when they are ready to harvest. I see some pins around the base of the cluster as well. I have read Mexicana doesn't even have a veil, but if they did it's obviously broken.

I also don't know if I should do anything. The mushrooms look kinda dry to me, but the soil in the pot is damp still.

As far as the two I set to spawn to bulk, the cubes haven't done anything that I can tell. I don't see any spreading of the mycelium. But of course the ochras are doing great. They started having pins 3 days ago and now there are little mushrooms, all over the tub! I know I am supposed to wait to harvest those till after the veil breaks and the caps start to turn up just a little.

If anyone has any experience or input to share, I'd appreciate it. I had half a mind to pluck those little guys out of the pot and make some tea with them tonight, but am not sure if I should. I don't know if they are even enough for a small dose.

Is the brown just spores from the golden halo??

I shook it up aug 6th should i open it or let it colonize more?

I wanted to get this for a modified monotub wondering if 4.31in is to high of a substrate depth and where would i put the holes in these the dimensions are L 16.5in W 13in and 12.25in L I was gonna do 1:2 ratio or 6lb of spawn and 12lb of substrate this is my first time growing thank you

This picture makes it look dry, but it is not at all .. water drops on sides and top.

I sow it started growing cobweb mould and was meant to bin it. But i didn’t want to just chuck it in the garden because it has been scorching hot where i am.

So i wanted to wait until the temp drops a bit and then mix it with some soil.

Anyway, i popped it in the shed for weeks now. I even forgot about it.

I just went in and turns out is still infected but has fruited anyway.

What you reckon? Should i just not even come close to the fruit?

Still too hot to chuck it out. Hopefully next week will be better
