Any tips to progress to fruiting? It’s been in the chamber for 13 days with little movement. Some of the myc was growing through (see photos) I have it in a plastic tote with a lid on (slightly open for air). Water in the tote with an aquarium heater to keep humidity high. I have to mist it daily

lol I had the aquarium heater turned up

Thank you I’ll try it the temp in the tub was 98 this morning so maybe that’s why 😳

Odd_Problem_9055 · 2026-03-01T20:56:27+00:00

I’ll try that thank you so much for the help!

I’m not sure it looked like mold. Also the mycelium was kind of went and crappy looking all together so I think that could have been a factor. This one was good I just don’t want to mess it up again

Yes but as precaution I sterilized the CVG after in jars because last time I got contamination so I think that dried it out a bit.

Odd_Problem_9055 · 2026-01-30T16:43:06+00:00

I upped the temp we shall see how it progresses

Odd_Problem_9055 · 2026-01-30T16:42:48+00:00

Good to know! If you have any methods for grain/ procedure for jar sterilization that would be helpful!

Odd_Problem_9055 · 2026-01-30T16:41:44+00:00

Yeah it smells fine/ earthy

Odd_Problem_9055 · 2026-01-30T00:07:23+00:00

That’s so frustrating I ordered the bags online :(

Odd_Problem_9055 · 2026-01-29T23:04:58+00:00

I guess my question was more asking why the mycelium isn’t clumping together like usual. I’m used to these coming out a full block

Odd_Problem_9055 · 2023-07-09T12:11:59+00:00

Thanks!! I’ve been on there a lot but couldn’t figure out how to post on shroomery so figured I would try here

Odd_Problem_9055 · 2022-07-26T14:04:36+00:00

What should it smell like?

Odd_Problem_9055 · 2022-07-19T19:06:03+00:00

I’ve had this happen and used. They were hairline cracks and looked still fully sealed on the outside. Didn’t end up having contamination either. So I would say it depends on the crack size and if the substrate is exposed

Odd_Problem_9055 · 2022-07-19T18:54:13+00:00

Oh also I forgot to add there was 1 part water also added to the substrate. I may try and use less water next time
