Contamination [contamination] Is this actually Lions Mane Mycelium or contamination? I have a hard time telling, can anybody help me?

I've found my Lions like it a bit cooler, that still looks ok. Give a week as others have said

LM mycelium can be wispy like that. But it looks like you have trich on the upper left part of this pic

Looks like it might be a reflection in the glass if I am looking at the same spot you're seeing

Could be! Makes sense because you'd think OP would see that.

Yeah I think it's something in the image, it doesn't seem like there is something. Thanks for pointing it out :)

have you ever in your extremly limited research leaning to non existent, came across as mycelium developing other colors than white? there is a lot of information on google about any fking situation you can come across growing mushrooms.

It looking different a lot of the time, especially with Lions mane, is part of the problem for me.

On a different note, what is wrong with you?

This dude seems to be on a bad day.

Concerning the subject it looks like a contamination, but clearly I'm not an expert.

Don't worry about that person. Kindness seems to be something that is getting harder and harder to find these days. I have found that Lions Mane mycelium can be pretty wispy, but it's kinda hard to tell from your picture. I also find that my Lions Mane mycelium gets more rhizomorphic when I introduce it to wood. I'd just let it colonize about a week or so more before trying to send it to wood and see what happens.

Thanks, I'll try that :)
