Here are two of the four B+ tubs. These tubs pinned and started fruiting really quickly. The other two tubs are just starting to pin. I suspect cause these two have a much shallower substrate. 1.75-2.25 in. I ran on subtrate. Lesson learned.

That's a beautiful view. I love looking at cakes fruiting. Are some of those pins aborts of do they have blue caps?

[The1unknown]

One observation that I had. Not sure if it's a common theme or it just so happen to be this time. But the aborts on my cakes had darker heads on the pins from the ones that fruited. Would love to know if there's anything to that? I haven't read anything of the sorts in my months of research prior to my projects.

Lol, there's quite a few aborts actually. They look a darker shade of brown to me. Could be a lighting thing though.

Pinhead on aborts will eventually turn black and begin to rot.  Just pick them before they go bad.  Well, nobody wants to eat anything rotten, of course.

 

Very nice cake!

Looks like I have my first contam issue. I have two tubs showing a dark gray almost black coloring. One tub is a small spot and isn't showing well in pictures. I've put both tubs outside to isolate them. Is there any saving them? Are the mushies grown safe for consumption? What do you wonderful people in this community think the contam is?

Did you harvest mature mushrooms out of these tubs?

 

Looks like freaking spores.............

I pulled some out yesterday. I've been waiting till after the veil breaks to harvest. So it's possible. I'll keep them separated for now to be safe and check for any spread or change in size.

[The1unknown]

On a better note. I pulled a decent first flush from this tub today!

Well if it is spores I'll probably see the same coloration in the above tub.It sure would put me at ease. Thanks for the quick response Arathu.

I hope everyone had a good weekend. I finally got too enjoy the fruits of my labor. Let me tell you I was very surprised. I've taken LSD so many times I couldn't even count. I've never once had hallucination on LSD. I've taken wild shrooms once before they were half dried and I never weighed what I took but the trip was very mild. So I expected a good time, but wow! Me and my girl took 3 grams a peice. Next time I plan on doing things a little different and taking a larger dose. But anyway on to my results. My first flush for the 4 tubs and one cake came up to 43 grams. I'm sure it's nothing incredible but being it was my first attempt I feel like I was successful. Second flushes will be ready in the next day or so and first flushes for the GT tubs are being harvested today/tomorrow some a bit behind than the others. The second flush for the B+ is not turning out as many mushrooms but the ones that are seem to be bigger than those of the first flush. I'll post as soon as I have my weight for the GT first flush. I made these tubs deeper and while the mushrooms are smaller there much more plentiful.
