Question w/ pics.. Contamination in FC?
    #12036772 - 02/15/10 09:17 PM (14 years, 10 months ago)

Hi,

Newbie here, I've got BRF cakes going as my 1st attempt. 1 cake is fruiting, 2 fruits growing so far, but i noticed this discoloration on another cake. Amazonian from homemade spore syringe btw. Is this contaminated?





Both pics are of the same cake, with and without flash.. My cheap Petco hygrometer reads 75% RH, I don't want to try and correct it until I recieve a high quality thermo/hygro meter in the mail and know accurately where its at. I fan twice a day by hand, and have a shotgun type terrerium setup. Any help is appreciated.

Temp stays about upper 60's during the day, down to low fifties at night. Light is indirect incandescent.

ok, doubt it the MM. take a qutip and wipe it on the supposed cotam spot and usually if the color goes on the qutip its a contam but if the qutip stays white then its bruising

Oh well.. right as it started pinning. I read RR's tek on FAE being more important than sterility for fruiting.. Any suggestions on how to avoid this in the future? Are other cakes in the FC threatened by the same contaminate? I lost 1 cake to green mold spots on saturday.. and now this. If this is indicative of a problem with my FC, any suggestions on what the problem might be? I know that RH is probably on the low side. Thanks for the help!
