      If your fruiting conditions are right (which can be surprisingly hard to do), then sometimes that just happens due to a fucking bacteria that's neat enough to be very very hard to spot. Believe me, I know - lost two monotubs to such a fucker. No smell, could see nothing until far far too late.

      Is this agar+monotub or cakes ? or something else ?

        It's oysters on hardwood fuel pellets + spent coffee grounds. I'm thinking trichoderma contamination.

          Oof, that's the worst. If you're right you'll likely start to see some green soon.

            Yeah, there's some green spots on the top of the bag. Probably need to just nuke my fruiting chamber and start over ><

              The good news is you can at least throw that contaminated colony in the garden or under wood mulch and it will probably continue growing. I recycle all of my old ones that way and it's maybe 50/50 whether a mushroom pops up. Otherwise it's just feeding earthworms and other soil fauna I want to exist, especially with culinary mycelium.
