the inside of the cake should be white?
    #10625742 - 07/05/09 04:35 PM (15 years, 6 months ago)

so if you cut open the inside of a fully colonized cake, it should be solid white..right?

the reason i ask..is because i recently tried to salvage some jars that had some dark spots..when i cut the cake open, there was more mold on the inside so i trashed them. and the parts that didnt haven mold looked weird like the myc wasnt growing even though on the outside it was mostly white

Yes solid white. Overly long dunks can cause cakes to actually rot from the inside out so consider a 24hr dunk max!

No, the inside of a fully colonized BRF cake is usually not solid white.  The mycelial network is much less obvious on the inside of a cake than it is on the outside.  In fact, when you crumble them into small pieces the spawn is usually tan colored.

White as in no other colors of course density will affect the amount of myc but it is still all myc and the myc had better be white. :wink:

Ive cut a few cakes open and to be honest it didnt look colinised, but there was mycelium there, the exposed survaste went white within a day or 2.

If you have evern crumbled a cake, you will notice how it looks frigthenly uncolinised. Until it recovers and goes white in a few days.

But thats besides the point, while you see mould on the surface, thats just the tip of the iceberg. The colour you see is the spores, not the mould mycelium itself which is also white. If you cut it away, it could just be mould mycelium underneath waiting to sporolate.

contaminated jars are best sterilised and safeuly dumped

last time i crumbled a cake it wasnt fully white in the middle. but it was FIRM. obviously fully colonized. it was tan because of the verm, which is part of the cake.
