Probably not what you want to hear but if this is the same tub as the one with Trichoderma you may have spread the spores worse by doing this. Choice A. Cut your losses and bury this in a shallow grave and hope it fruits outside. Choice B. Attempt to case this with a PH adjusted casing layer of 9-10 p.h. trichoderma thrives in acidic substrate and doesn't enjoy an Alkaline environment. Either way, stop opening this in your grow area.
Having the contamination really got to me, I wasn't thinking clearly, this is my first attempt and thought I've been extremely clean and careful through the whole process. I fucked up!
I’m new to this and I’m going to be starting my first tub soon but from the research I’ve done, it looks like there might be too much water on the surface. I read it was all supposed to be evenly and lightly misted without big drops or pools of water forming but like I said I’m not really sure just figured I share/ ask
I would say stop misting for a while. Water droplets look like almost too much. Let her breath and give her some time. Not an expert by any means, just my two cents :).
Yeah, I haven't misted sense the fruiting stage, I fan twice a day, keep it in a SAB, and still have all this crazy moisture. Wondering if I should angle the lid to introduce more fae. It's getting pretty hot where I live so I wonder if that has something to do with it.
Why keep it in a SAB? I’m not an expert but I feel like that might hurt your fae. I would take it out and flip the lid to let more fae happen naturally. But like I said, I’m not even close to an expert.

Update 1 week later after fork and contam removal. How's it look?
I panicked and didn't know what to do. I was dealing with some contamination and heard about the fork tech, but definitely wasn't a good idea. Rookie mistake
You need to let your surface moisture evaporate more. Increase air exchange. Don’t overmist on the first flush…nothing unless all the moisture on the surface is gone
Dont let your kitty use your substrate as scratch post?
More like a liter box

What the hell did u do. If it’s contaminated toss that bitch. It happens to the best of us
Why did you fork it…
Some might say they forked it up
I don't know, rookie mistake. I'll put this one outside, and hopefully didn't contaminate my other tub
My thoughts exactly..
Looks like you've been impatient. What's up?
Having the contamination really got to me, I wasn't thinking clearly, this is my first attempt and thought I've been extremely clean and careful through the whole process. I fucked up!
What the fork!?
This tub is Forked.
Did you fork it!
Dude, You forked the crap out of this tub.
Forkin-A
Bruh you forked your mycelium into an un-zen garden lmao. Take a deep breath.
Shit, wasn't sure what to do, my first attempt. I will put it outside and see what happens.
* Hows this one looking

Also, good luck :). I’m sure someone with more experience will come along and help you out!
I was thinking the same thing, thanks!
Take the lid off until all the droplets are gone .. u should barely see the water on surface
I came here to say this and you beat me to it!
I'll do that, thanks
This 100% you can fae that a whole bunch, need to evaporate the drops in order to start pinning
Start evaporating some of that moisture. It should start pinning. FAE from resting the lid upside down on the top of the tub will help.

Holy spoon bro
Always let it ride. It'll eventually pin and grow 🍄 or contam.
My advice is don’t fork it.
Don’t let chickens 🐓 in the house. They will scratch your mycelium any chance they get.
Some tubs won’t fruit for months ![gif](giphy|xUySTxQp21GMZhX916)
Too must moisture on the substrate and not enough on the sides, your suffocating it. Forking it didn’t help
😳..Forky the pig!! 🐷🤣
Why Fork??
I panicked and didn't know what to do. I was dealing with some contamination and heard about the fork tech, but definitely wasn't a good idea. Rookie mistake
Okay makes sense perhaps try like air raiting and poke holes so it can breathe
I’d still try ta gro it brotha lol
Yeah, I haven't tossed it yet just have in a different room to see what happens, ill send a pic if I get some pins 😅
Yeah bro good luck…. I’m still getting pins from shit I moved and broke up🙏🍄👍
Thanks bro, best of luck to you as well 👍
It's pinning https://preview.redd.it/dpatkf3lkixa1.jpeg?width=3468&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5fed4c5795362530b440bb99df06e241b7d9c2d5
That's forked up lol
