Should I harvest this

This is my first grow and i’m running 6 4qt tubs with KSSS none of my other tubs have pins this developed and even in this tub none of the fruits are close to maturity. I see the gills so I assume the veil is broken so should I harvest this now and just wait for the rest of them to be ready late or just wait.

Help! Fruiting GT appear to have started to appear mouldy!

Everything has been going great growing golden teachers (for the first time) from AIO grow bags, then put into monotubs. They started to get fuzzy feet, so I increased the airflow (as well as continuing to mist the box & walls).

But coming back after a warm day tut they seem to have started going mouldy and blue! Are they salvageable? Should I harvest them and dry them now? I was hoping to let them grow until the tops open and flatten out. Any advice on what to do would be greatly appreciated!

Slim GT's

Is it normal that all of my GTs are so slim, with the veil broken on almost all of them? This is my first time ever growing mushrooms. I didn’t want to wait any longer because of the spores. Can you tell me if they’re more potent or something? I only got 13 g dried from the whole grow :(

Felt like an eternity

I thought it was taking a while for my project to start fruiting but looking back at the timeline it took less than 14 days for me to see signs of life. Although it’s only two tiny fruits I still think they are so cute

transporting during growing process? is it possible?

i know it’s probably not, but i figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask.. as the title states is there any possibility i could transport at any part during the process? discovered some pretty horrific shit about my (soon to be ex) husband and i would like to leave as soon as possible.. but i just started inoculation 🤦‍♀️ is there any time during the process transporting them to a different house would be possible or should i just give up hope on this batch? tya!

Third flush contam?

Hi! Newbie here. On my third flush - and curious if I've got any contam starting. I rehydrated each time with an 8 hour soak.

First and second picture is the same tub. Seems like all my knots are fuzzy. Second and third pics have a suspicious patch but it's still white.

Just curious to learn from others. Thank you!

Could someone tell me info about ochras?

My first grow was GT and it had like a 1/11 success rate but a great first flush. I want to grow ochras next, any info would be great!

Putting bags in a tote to maintain conditions

So I have a tote and this time I’m going to put my bags instead of in the camper I live in inside the basement of the house I live behind. I was curious if it was a good idea to put a hole or two cover with micropore tape in an airtight tote then adding my 20 bags inside maintaining a temp of 75. Last time I did a temperature of 80 and most likely got too hot and used way too much LC inside of a already moist ub bag this time I have 16 cheap brand rice and 4 ub bags going to try to grow 5 of each

Let me know your thoughts I will send my set up today when it’s all ready

Also how should I inject the culture into the bag just inject the bag with a tiny hole or cut the corner what is better ? Thanks guys I know you guys won’t let me down

Overthinking* quick question !

The it looks like spores are dropping,

Should I have flushed them when the veils tore or when the spores drop? Can I wait until Thursday evening when my dehydrator comes?

I didn’t wanna harvest anything because of the really fuzzy feet and how flimsy they are

There’s so much spore residue its really wild

Should I just harvest the ready ones & put them in refrigerator til Thursday?

Thanks ✨🍄‍🟫

First time growing, 2 days into fruiting conditions, is this looking healthy? and when can I expect pins

Is this contam?

The mycelium was growing steadily for a few days then it seemingly halted for about a week. Noticed discoloration around the edges and still no almost no growth near the top. Is this a contamination?

The coir is currently cooling from pasteurization.
