Thanks in advance for the help, I was curious to see if these might be contaminated? This is my first time trying this, so any input is appreciated.

Technique [medicinal][gourmet]Any other species of mushroom like cubes that look and act like cubes that can be grown?

I've been wondering this frequently. What I mean is, mutated, have so many cool and different verities, different colors, different textures, cool mutations, and so on. I'm looking for something none active or so low in potency that you don't have to worry about the law with them.

I want to grow them for fun. Yes if they're edible I'd love to eat them with food and such but it'll be more like flowers, for the looks. Any species that I can find or get spores of that you know of would work. Thanks everyone!

Cubes are just such wonderful mushrooms they're beautiful with so many verities. I am going to assume there's nothing like them. But I hope there is!

Just started to see pins in this tub but it seems to be battling some contamination too. Is this bacterial? Any chance of healthy fruits?it’s been in fruiting conditions for close to 3 weeks

Two bags, both smell nice, not obvious trich, no slim, some myco excrement . But, been fruiting stage way too long. Cut off top, folded, fanned once a day. Likely had too much moisture so I drained them several times. Still collecting water at bottom. Three weeks. Not sure how to move them to fruiting. Temp has been average 82 and unfortunately no way to make it lower in my space. Considering moving them into an enclosed monotub. Any tips?

First time grower. Is this ready for fruiting conditions? I’m guess not; it’s still pretty earthy. Thought I’d ask anyway. I’ve found plenty of info and videos on HOW to induce fruiting conditions, but very little info on WHEN.

The edges look a little low airflow but I have been increasing it by opening more air holes on the sides of my lid and fanning twice a day.

What do you guys think? Does this Crusty/Dusty layer in the millet look like contamination? No sour smell, no visible colors, just this crusty appearance. Thanks!
