Is this... normal?
    #20747800 - 10/24/14 02:24 PM (9 years, 5 months ago)

This is her first attempt at growing anything. She says these are:

- Puerto Rican Strain (from a sterile syringe ordered commercially)

- Grown on rye (in pre-sterilized bags)

- Spawned to coir/verm (following Damions50/50 coir tek)

- Covered the mixture with a thin layer of plain substrate.

Apparently they took longer than expected to fully colonize the rye bags. She spawned them to the coir/verm 11 days ago, but accidentally let the temperature drop below 70 on a couple of consecutive nights. They're now in a ~79 degree incubator (the holes in the container are taped with clear tape, not open)



I've seen quite a few pics of colonized substrate, but this just looks bizarre! Is all of this crazy looking furry looking stuff mycelium? It should be fully colonized by now (11 days later), no?

Is it possible that the rest of the spawn is fully colonized underneath the top casing layer? Time to fruit, or not?

Thanks so much in advance!

No bumping within the first 24 hours. Please read the rules.

With that said. It looks fine. Nice rhizomorphic action happening.

Allow it to fully colonize before casing. Be patient.

Ah, gotcha. Sorry! Won't happen again.

Thanks for the input, it's reassuring. The top casing layer isn't solid white with mycelium, but there isn't a square inch that doesn't have this rhizo-riffic myc pouring out of it. Just didn't know if she should wait until its solid white to commence fruiting.

55F would be fine but an incubator can cook your shit and help contamination thrive. room temp is fine 65-75F is a fine range 79F is on the hot side. I would ditch the incubator and use room temp. They grow outside in texas it can be anywhere from 40F at night to 90F in the day during the times they grow there. but indoors you want to evade any chance for bacteria to grow so keep it cooler at most 78F but 75F is the highest I would want mine to be.

Take the lid off and snap a better picture

Okay, great, thanks for the tip. They're out of the incubator now.

if you put a thin layer of substrate over your mixed substrate I would fruit it now. Those finger like rhizomorphs could be indicative of bacteria but it looks colonized enough that it will be fine.
