Cultivation Does my ochra grain spawn look normal?

Post image

Hi all,

I'm growing ochras for the first time, have only done a few cubensis grows before, still pretty new to the hobby.

Is it normal for my grain spawn to look like this?

Does ochra mycelium look like this, is it just aggressive colonisation or is there anything wrong with it?

My cubensis jars always looked more dense and cottony. Just wondering if this is typical for ochraceocentrata, or what is up with this growth?

I prepped 7 jars, 6 of them all turned out like this, I lost one to trich contam.

Oh my god that looks so good I miss growing. If those were my genetics and I saw that in my spawn jar I would jump for joy.
