Weird Orange/Caramel Contam?
    #7726409 - 12/06/07 09:33 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

So far all of my Puerto Rican cakes have either not fully colonized or have been contaminated. This cake in particular has a weird contam growing in it. The mycelium (or whatever looks like it) looks sorta cob-webby/sticky on the leading edges. Smack dab in the middle are these two caramel colored curved lines that almost form a 'V'. I've looked in the common contams FAQ and didn't find anything that really jumped out at me. What is this stuff???

Also, it seems like my other PR cake has the same thing only not nearly as worse. It looks fully colonized, but it has one of those curved lines as well. The curved line looks like somebody just 'sliced' it with a scalpel or something. I can't tell if it's verm or a golden brown line of something. I looked all around the cake (while it's still in the jar) and I don't see any other defects.

Here are some pics. Sorry about the quality, it's nearly impossible to get enough light and get it to focus well inside these jars. I didn't want to spread contam by letting the cakes out of the jars though, so hopefully you can see what I'm talking about.

Fully Colonized:









Again, sorry about the photos.

Thanks!

looks like the real deal. It looks like the mushroom mycelium has stopped adn that there is some sort of mold chilling in that area

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

in this phot it looks as if the mycelium has stopped and something else has conlonized the substrate
