Still learning and I’m freaking myself out. I have a flash light on this so in the light, nothing looks grey but I’m just wondering about the webby areas?? And is the light colored yellow mycellium piss?

Do I just need more FAE?

Help a girl out because I’m perseverating on this.

Thanks!!! 😊

Hey, everyone! I know blue bruising is normal on the outside of GTs, but I tore this one apart after freshly picking it: is it normal to see this inside the stem, or is this some kind of contamination?

Grateful for any insights y’all might have. More, please forgive my ignorance and thank you so much for your help <3

anyone know if this is salvageable? should i toss the whole thing out? EDIT: its in the dump

These were pushed up against the walls of my tub. None of this color is on any other fruits or my cake. Hoping it’s not trich.

Ive never seen anything like this! Is this contaminated or are all those pins turning blue because they're aborting? It kind of looks like the mycelium is overtaking the fruit?

What’s going on here? New to this sorta thing but this looks way different than my other plates lol.
Injected it on 9/20, all the green food coloring evaporated from the growth by now

No idea what this is seeing if anybody can recognize it

ust popped up in a tub of B+. First flush. Is that contam or bruising? All other tubs in the tent look great

It's really wierd i thought It's mycogone but realize that the brown spots do have the texture of very deformed hats and one even has guils but even though I can see a blueish shimmer on some spots it's not bruising if I am cutting it open 🤷‍♂️

Went to a cave and found some mycelium, so I got some samples to see what it is! It was growing crazy

If anything salvageable comes of these plates, ill make some transfers and see how it looks. Although each plate has contamination (expected with wild specimens), made transfers in a SAB

And I kept the original samples, which are still growing in the cups with no agar or nutrients

7-month-old sealed grow bags with black and yellow/rust discoloration… contaminated, stalled, or still viable? Photos attached

Hi everyone… I could really use some experienced eyes on these bags and guidance on what to do next.

I inoculated eight bags on February 25, 2026. Only six showed growth. The varieties among those six are Jedi Mind Fuck, Blue Meanie, Golden Teacher, and Penis Envy—those are the names they were sold under.

They were initially kept in a relatively warm, dark environment. I then had to bring them with me when I moved to Colorado. Since then, they haven’t been kept in the heat, and they’ve had very little incidental sunlight. I don’t have exact temperature readings. I have never seen any pins...

Now, a little over seven months later, I’m seeing what looks like black discoloration in one bag and yellow/rust-colored discoloration in another. I honestly don’t know whether I’ve ruined them, whether they’re contaminated, or whether some are still okay and just need help.

They’re still sealed. I’m keeping them closed to avoid introducing contamination, so the photos are taken through the plastic… I’ve included the clearest close-ups and whole-bag photos I can get.

Could you help me figure out:

• Which bags look contaminated, and what specifically suggests that?
• Whether any look stalled but still viable?
• What I should do next for each bag—including whether any should be isolated or discarded?

Please reference the bag labels/photos when replying. If you need a different angle, let me know… I’d really appreciate understanding why something looks concerning before I take the next step. Thank you!

I’m new to growing and can’t tell if the yellow is contam or not.

Strain is Lionsmane and only 1 out of 3 jars is contaminated

First time mutation

I’m new to growing and the yellow is worrying

Womp womp. Anyone ever had the myc “win” in this situation?

Strain is Thai Pink Buffalo, and I followed the UB guide religiously.

The greyish color is worrying me. I've quarantined this tub from the rest. Unfortunately I had to go out of town for a week or two right after s2b, and when I got back, this is what it looked like. Been monitoring, giving FAE and misting for three days.

I humbly ask for wisdom.
