• Probably failed grow?

  I did multiple mistakes, starting with using AI for advice. I made a perfect substrate, mixed it with cococoir inside fruiting chambers, and double bagged them using trash bag, because AI told me it will keep higher temps, humidity and co2. This resulted in too high temps, way too much humidity and eventually - smothered and drowned mycelium. I only noticed it on day 8 and unbagged them. Then I spent 5 days drying them, which made them look bruised, dried, and yellow. Then I decided to fork them and cover with bubble wrap, but now it kinda looks rough, and coir looks dry beneath (not brown, but a bit gray). I am misting the sides of the tub, around the bubble wrap, and venting every few hours, but it doesnt seem to be enough. There are two chambers, the photos are in order - right after unbagging. Then after drying. Then after forking, and finally latest ones, made just now (with bubble wrap). I don't see clear signs of contamination yet, and the smell remains the same, but not sure. I am also using blue light led 12 hours a day. The chambers also got in built fans/misting/lights, but I decided to do it manually, because misting was making them too dry and it seems to be better used when the fruiting starts for real. Anything I can do to save the mycelium or is it over?
