Mold or Mycellium?
    #14115733 - 03/13/11 06:46 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

Hey guys,
I am new. Been reading for a while, but never needed to post.
We have growth on one cake, but it is also covered a little bit with a white fluffy growth. It looks a little bit grey to us as well, so we took a picture to see what others thought. Main question, is this contaminated? Sorry if the picture isn't the greatest, used a phone.
The parts that appear grey are mostly white, but with some grey. The picture is under exposed.
Thanks

The picture makes it impossible to see it closely. I've experienced both a fluffy white mycelium and a "cobweb" contaminum that is so similar the only way to determine is the alcohol spray test.

Is that cake almost spent? Or is this the first flush? I can see your substrate pretty clearly so if it is the first flush I believe you fruited to early. If it's the 3rd/4/5th then its probably just the white fluffy mycelium caused by some humidity issues if memory serves correctly...

Post a better picture jesus...

I would turn on the tv, but its so embarrassing
to see all the other people, i dont know what they mean
it was magic at first, when they spoke without sound
but now this world is gonna hurt, you better turn that thing down
turn it around

you cant blame me, sure the killer was my son
but i didnt teach him to pull the trigger of the gun
its the killing on his tv screen
you cant blame me, its those images he seen

First flush. What is the alcohol spray test?
And I will get a better picture. Also, what are the problems with starting fruiting too early? that apply here, I understand that I should avoid it.

from that pic hard to say, looks to me like fluffy mycelium because the cakes got quite dry while you were away, harvest and mist you should be fine.
