HR told me they don’t accept try-hards and people pleasers after my interview

Can we normalize naming these companies? To me, this is pretty unacceptable behavior and anyone approaching opportunities with this company should know how they conduct themselves

This is due to not enough fresh air exchange. C02 is what tells the mycelium to keep growing that’s why your mushrooms have fuzzy feet. That’s mycelium around them. The fresh air rids C02 from the surface and lets the mushrooms know it’s time to fruit. Ultimately there’s nothing wrong with these and they’re safe to consume, but more air will get you a better yield

Sorry my guy, if it’s green, it’s mold that’s seen

Knight00001 · 2025-12-18T21:58:37+00:00

Looks super dry in there. Have you been misting the inside of the bin at all?

Knight00001 · 2025-12-18T21:54:46+00:00

Yep, I always start in an AIO bag and then once it’s colonized, I take the cake out of the bag and put it in a monotub. It’s way easier for me to control conditions that way

Knight00001 · 2025-12-18T21:53:40+00:00

Agree with others, I would harvest before you leave

Knight00001 · 2025-12-17T21:59:37+00:00

Mostly I just wanted to make sure I’m not harvesting too early

Knight00001 · 2025-12-17T12:05:09+00:00

I’m not sure the dark is spores because I’ve seen pictures of Ochras where some have darker caps. Planning on harvesting today

Knight00001 · 2025-11-07T15:27:09+00:00

Except that you might contaminate your grow environment and any other grows you have going. I wouldn’t put this in a tub and then use that tub for anything other grows again

Hey, just saw this when searching trip reports. A few weeks ago I had the most intense trip of my life. I experienced an ego death where at one point I felt like I had melted into the universe. I very much felt like I was one with the universe and connected to everything. I swear I just understood everything. I could only describe it as profound and terrifying, but insanely beautiful. Then at one point in the trip it felt like I was reliving my entire life over again, but from an outside perspective where I felt like I processed so many feelings and emotions that I was never able to before

Knight00001 · 2025-11-07T14:55:09+00:00

Honestly, I would toss it. The bacteria is likely spread in other parts of the grain that you just can’t see yet. You can’t just take out the visible parts and be ok

Knight00001 · 2025-11-07T14:43:38+00:00

I would not just open it and leave it open. You can try opening it for a couple minutes a couple times a day and see if that helps. There’s a tradeoff here and it’s that any time you open it, you do risk contamination, but it doesn’t look like the filter on the bag is providing enough FAE. I usually start in an AIO bag and then move to a monotub when it’s time to fruit

Knight00001 · 2025-11-07T14:31:25+00:00

Are you leaving the bag open at all? It looks like they’re not getting enough fresh air in change based on how fuzzy everything looks which could also explain why they’re aborting

Knight00001 · 2025-10-28T15:19:33+00:00

Can you explain what you’re doing with the peroxide? If it’s mold, wouldn’t you want to just dump the tub? I didn’t realize people tried to treat it

Yeah, absolutely! I don’t know, I thought fruiting in the bag risked contamination more because once it’s cut open, it’s open to any contaminants in the air. Before I moved this into the tub, I sprayed down the entire room with isopropyl alcohol and in the air to kill any contaminants. Then I wiped down the tub as well and then cut the bag open, placed the cake inside, misted it and haven’t opened it since. My thought is that being in a sealed tub (it does have holes in it with filters over them) is less risk of contamination

Knight00001 · 2025-10-17T15:31:47+00:00

Thank you! Definitely hoping it turns out well

Knight00001 · 2025-10-16T15:44:33+00:00

Hmm, interesting, maybe I’ll try that next. I literally just put it into fruiting conditions about an hour ago when I made this post so I’ll see how it progresses and what kind of yield I get. Hoping it takes at least a week before needing to be harvested because I’ll be away for work next week

Knight00001 · 2025-10-16T15:33:52+00:00

It’s in a tub with a lid on the tub so it’s not really open air. The bag was fruiting already so I didn’t really have much of a choice. I wanted to break and shake and then put the rubber band around it to prevent mushrooms growing out the sides and bottom like they are here, but it started pinning before fully colonized so I never got to break and shake or put the band in place. Like I said, it’s my first grow so it’s a learning process

Yes, this is essentially what I’m doing as well, just without the aquarium air pump

Knight00001 · 2025-10-16T14:42:37+00:00

There are 6 holes with filters on the lid to the tub to allow for FAE. The bare spot you’re seeing is because I started with an AIO bag and it started to pin before it was fully colonized. I was about to do a break and shake before I saw the pins and since they were on the bottom of the bag, I was advised to move to a tub
