How does your mono smell?
    #14590440 - 06/10/11 12:43 PM (12 years, 7 months ago)

I ask this because mine MIGHT smell weird. I say might because I have no point of reference how a mono might smell.

I know this mono doesn't smell like cakes that we have grown. It is lacking that bold mushroom smell. Even now, we have a big "cake" in the SGFC and it too has that familiar bold mushroomy smell

It is more of a musky smell.

Here are some pics.  The Mrs. says that it might be the metabolites that have built up in one of the corners from some standing water problems we had initially.

My gf just pointed out that it smells kind of like it did when we first mixed in the spawn with the horse poo. Kind of a horse poo smell, musky

I had a musky scent when I had those deposits too, I think someone once called it 'mushroom pee'.

mushrooms don't "pee" that's metabolites you're referring to, which OP stated he thinks he has.

Metabolites are excreted due to stress, normally from fighting a contam.

My monos smells like delicious mushrooms.

The mono smells stale when it's stale, i.e. needs fresh air.

How long has it been in fruiting? What are you doing for fresh air? You got a fan goin?
