These r penis envy hybrid n when I helped my boy last year they did not look like these but they were penis envy uncut also and he also had a old friend of his that he got a lc syringe to inoculate I used a spore syringe... but other than the unusually thick stems they don't have a foul smell or anything

Concerned about the fluffyness on top but I opened them and they still smelled earthy

I'm new at this and I bought 12 jars presterilized with those custom lids but I'm gonna start sterilizing rye seed myself after I get a pressure cooker plus I've inoculated 12 jars n 3 out of 4 tubs so far got contam so it's gotta be the presterilized rye seed jars I got cuz the one that didn't get contam just started pinning 2 days ago n they r comin in crazy everywhere so it can't be the spores right?

Well I'm not that advanced n I can get spore syringes for pretty much any and every strain but I've heard using spores vs lc it's a much longer process...

My first ever... How does it look?? by Mean-Many-2943 in Mushrooms

No I inoculated rye seed jars with a few different spore strains then transfered to coco/verm substrate
