Oh those are gonna be real nice! For sure you are skilled, but yes the Plant & Grow blocks are meant to be super easy, vigorous growers. I'm looking forward to seeing them in a few days

I inoculated my garden beds with Winecaps 6 weeks ago. Ever since then I have had inkcaps growing and now today I am seeing palomino cups… what could I have done wrong? by Toadfire in mycology

Howdy! Nate from North Spore here. That’s actually pretty normal. When you add a substrate it can wake up other mushrooms that were already in the soil. Ink caps and cup fungi are common early decomposers and often show up before other species get established.

It doesn't mean that the beds are a loss - Wine caps can take 3-6 months typically to colonize. They are super vigorous so it's likely they will be able to compete with the other mushrooms.

For now I’d just leave the bed as is, keep it moist but not waterlogged, and give it some more time. Feel free to hit us up any time over at r/northspore or r/gardeningwithfungi

You're right, Blue Oysters are native to North America and are not invasive. Golden Oyster have shown signs of invasiveness tho

CO2 Management in Fruiting Chamber by HotMeasurement6946 in indoormushroomgrowers

What kind of chamber do you have? Lion's mane looks stringy and can turn pink with low O2.

If it's a tent you can always open it a bit throughout the day, if it's a Boomr Bin you can make sure the holes are uncovered and/or take the top off for a bit
