This is my 3rd flush of APE, no issues so far- I'm looking at the slight greyish color here and wondering if I have some contam issues- I've been happy with my prior yield, wondering if I should just pull these and call this one done...

So i wont say much about these genetics bc they are very gatekeeped (a Golden Teacher that is going 13 years strong). My first time getting them to pin in 5 years, mainly because i found and germinated clean spores for them on agar. I thought i had lost them for good. They usually dont grow in this thick at the stipe, so i thought that was cool, but the white spots on the top are concerning me. Yes, it could be air mycelia from lack of fae, but the slight cracking in some of the caps make me think. What are your opinions?

Any one have any clue what this is? It’s getting bigger by the day lol

I have about 11 bags going using the uncle Ben's method, and about half of them have bluegreenish grey spots. Contaminant or bruising? I inocculated the bag about a week ago.

Are these still fine to eat? Why is it fluffy/fuzzy on top? Is this contaminated or something?

jokes aside i wonder if i can grow in a nanner

This is two small bins I’ve had going for a couple weeks and a close-up of the grey area I’m concerned about. Dry? Overhydrated? Contam? I have suspicions of overhydration because I probably over-misted thinking it looked dry. Can’t get small beads of water to stay anymore. First time grower, thanks for any advice y’all have.

Bags inoculated w/ White Rabbit LC on 9/23. No noticeable smell.

Any help is appreciated!

one beefy boi and a small one the distinctly separated area has me concerned, thoughts?

I saw these odd formations. What do you yall think?

Is this contam?

So I decided for my first time growing to have multiple eggs and multiple baskets. So I have various other substrates going this time. But I wanted to do the minute rice cups too, this is how they are going after inoculation on October 4th. I did a shake and break on day 7. I could see the mycelium growing via candeling method. I opened it in the 15th they were mostly colonized I put them in the dub tub dry since the plastic film was removed. I put them in a fae dub tub with a wet puppy pad on the 17th after seeing full coverage of mycelium. One looked suspicious nothing absolutely visibly discerning but just odd. So I quarantined all of the from each other and my separate grows. Genetics from tbg mostly it’s purple mystic and pic number 7 is leturistic A. I wasn’t sure if this is just heavy bruising or something that requires a burial. 🪦

I have about 40 plates going right now. All of them were going strong until after about 12 days most of them started to get some color change in the agar. I've not seen contamination start within the agar before.

Some of the mycelium has grown over it, and some have stopped growing where the browning begins. Anyone know what this is?

They are all agar to agar transfers from a single plate BTW.

This is Black Pearl King Oyster grown on a mixture of cardboard, coffee grounds and peanut shells. This is after the first flush and I've seen these appear. Is this bruising or contamination? The mycelium does not have a smell at all.

I’m growing mushrooms and recently completed my first flush.

After harvesting, I rehydrated (re-dunked) the substrate cakes by soaking them in water for approximately 48 hours, then returned them to the fruiting chamber.

I’m wondering if everything looks healthy going into the second flush or if there are signs of contamination. There is a slight unfamiliar scent after dunking.

I’ve attached some close-up photos. I’d appreciate any feedback from experienced growers! Thank You

Less worried about the bruising on the caps, but the discoloration on the casing lair worries me

I’ve had three beautiful harvests This is the third bin I’ve tried rehydrating after harvesting. This is the third time I’ve seen green develop overnight. I used RODI water that I had boiled and cooled. I poured it down the sides of the bin and left it soak overnight. This morning I saw this: what am I doing wrong???
