Is everything OK? Lion’s mane question

Here is my log with a short description of what has been changed over time.

20.12 - Start. Made an X-shaped cut. Temperature: 16-21°C. Humidity: around 50%.

(slow but stable everyday growth, spraying with water 3-4 times a day.)

27.12-31.12 - Noticeable slowdown in growth. 01.01 - Built a plastic tent (blue color on the photo). Humidity increased to 80-90%. Light level slightly reduced.

(spraying with water 2-3 times a day)

02.01-05.01 - Cut the foil and open it a bit more on 02.01. Rapid growth. 06.01 - Significant slowdown in growth. Humidity decreased to around 65%. Light level increased (decided to back to previous conditions but with increased humidity). 07.01 - Brown spots appeared on the largest fruiting body. Still no spikes, so I think it is not ready yet.

Any advices?

I found what I believe to be a young Amanita Caesarea, yet some features make me doubt. Does anyone know what this is?

Was amazed by how mollusk-like these looked. Pic taken in NY.

Curious what these are but mostly just wanted to share. Amazing how much they look like oysters or clam shells.

Help working towards a Mycology based career (UK)

I (30M) have had a growing interest in all things mycology for the past 5+ years and would now like to build a future working within this field. It all started with just photographing random Fungi that I noticed on walks to now filling most of my free time learning anything and everything related to mycology.

I have grown multiple species, photographed/identified hundreds more and foraged plus prepared others for medicinal use.

I ask for advice as I have not completed any university degrees and after searching for mycology courses I can only find them as masters degrees or courses that only offer the basics and would appreciate any information or guidance that may help.

Thank you

My Pink Oyster looks just like a rose.

Is she ready to harvest? I'm actually worried she might be a little overgrown.

My Peace Lily has sprouted mushrooms

I split this off a larger plant from my mum and both hers and mine have now started growing mushrooms.

Grateful for identification or any insights. Also we’re located in Australia incase that influences anything

Can completely dried agar be saved? Also, can anyone advise a good discord or insta for mycology?

This was at one time a good agar culture. If I cut a piece off and put on fresh agar will it revive or is it dead dead?

Looking for peace of mind and maybe a little help

I had four mycelium jars for about eight months that weren't growing and when I opened the jars they all decompressed audibly and with some force, think like a shaken coke can, the aftermath was quite stinky and I moved the mycelium to a large Tupperware container and covered it in sterile soil. Im feeling a bit weird and in hindsight I'm wondering if I may have inhaled something bad or if this is normal? Hoping whatever I'm feeling is some kind of fucked up placebo.
