incubator temp is set to 28oC...thats about 82. Good news is no contaminants....but yeah they are only partially colonized. The b+ and GT are taking FOREVER...but they are growing..just VERY VERY slowly.

the substrate is
1Qt stop and shop brand distilled water
1Qt organic brown rice flower bulk from "wholefoods"
2Qts medium grade horticultural vermiculite
lids have 4 holes, as seen where the growth is, with J&J medical tape over the holes...pc for 30-45min.
no problems with other sets...just these for some odd reason won't grow.

Do you have the top layer of dry verm in the jars? If yes, take the tape off, it may speed them to finish. I think thats the main slow going for you is the lids should go rubberside up.
How long have the Tex been in the fruiting chamber?

Als, looks like you might have too many in your incubator, when they are stacked like that there isn't hardly any gas exchange!

nice clear example of
why taping over the air holes is a bad idea.
