My first and only attempt at growing Mushrooms resulted in me making the substraite too wet and all I got was a bed of multicoloured mould! Sadly I don't think i kept that photo!

Everyone fails until they don’t, and continuing on is what makes successful grows.

I've had rainbow mold that I have cultivated in jars before, if I ever get some more I'll be sure to snap some pictures before I compost it!

My first attempt (PF BRF) went pretty smoothy to be honest! I'm hoping my shift to rye grains goes as smooth!

For sure, can't let a little mold slow you down. there is always an chance of contamination when growing mushrooms, especially with the lack of a professional lab setup with flow hood.



I'll probably end up with some contamination from the transfer I took from that plate of "PES Hawaiian" but hopefully I'm able to clean it up with subsequent transfers

Todays Agar fail, there will be more to come, these's are not interesting fails but they were opened outdoors and were sour smelling, they hit the compost bin...

I should have started this thread earlier, as I've had a few spectacular fails all in my compost bin... maybe I'll check one day and there will be mushroom fruiting in the bin !!
