my second casing *fermenting smell* (pics)
    #9538915 - 01/03/09 04:38 PM (15 years, 2 months ago)

Hey all -

This is my second casing using WBS spawned to HPOO (Texan strain).  The casing didn't 100% colonize in the middle after a long period, and I noticed the mycelium smelled 'old' or kind of ferment-y.  Anyways I went ahead and moved it into the FC to see what happened.  I noticed that occasionally pools of cloudy orange fluid form on pockets of the mycelium, which I soak up with a napkin usually.  What could be happening?  is the casing infected?  Attached are some pics, right now they are a few pins formed on the outside.  I also poured some sterilized vermiculite on top of the cake today.

Here is some pics of my first casing and first two flushes:

My biggest mushroom ever - wet weight



Thanks for looking - BTW casing FTW!!

The fermenting smell is bacteria from improper pasteurization.  That's also what causes the orange liquid(metabolites) to form on the surface.  They're antibiotic agents attacking the bacteria.
