GoAuto and roark's fungi extravaganza "Work area" Hard hat's please!

I introduced a fan to the closet three days ago to address possible FAE issues and this morning we have official pinning!
 
Awesome. Would love to see pics.
 
So I had one bag that didn't seal properly and I nearly threw it out because I thought it was contaminated. It was super fuzzy, like a teddy bear or something. I kept it to see what would happen because I knew it wouldn't contaminate other bags. That bag has more pins than any other bag. We have verified pinning, with visible caps in at least 5 bags. Hyphal knotting in the others. So after the super fuzzy phase the mycelium seems to shrink down and forms these concentrated white areas, that's the hyphal knot. I can't post a pic because it doesn't look like anything. Moonscape is the best I can come up with. Then a couple of days later, pins! Crappy pics, but the best I could do, somehow managed to miss the caps. More to come though, tons of these tiny guys.

That's awesome as hell. I going to really try an leave the new bags I have alone and not check them for a few more days. Read yesterday, tbat one should not check them at all during the spawn run. Its like an itch you can't scratch. When I had checked on tuesday I was seeing good spawn growth in the newest bags. I decided to see if I can get the spawn bags to pin. Doubtful, but what the hell. May pick up some totes/tubs today for a tub run. Need to get some more spawn going first.
 
Ah....its so cute. Lol. Nicely done!
 
Well thank you, but those are four different mushrooms from three different bags. There are a bunch more but they're too small to get a good pic of. :niceshot:
 
So I have 6 jars of cracked corn going in the p.c right now. Going to try some zombie tubs. Also I bit the bullet and bought some eco earth bricks. Want to get a weight for them and a hydrated cup amount. Seems like every damn recipe out there uses these things. But I just can't spend that kinda money when I know better. I don't know, maybe the hassle of breaking our big ass blocks down isn't worth the savings. Especially if I can get them in bulk packs. I do like convenience.

Edit.....after reading tek after tek, I thought I'd try putting a 1/4 c dry verm in the bottom of each jar to soak up any extra moisture. M.zombie recommend that, but with bird seed. I still believe in the corn. Which I simmered, maybe not long enough, in hopes it wouldn't get to f.n soggy. Did get a lot of starch out.
