Newest cake issue (and dumb mistake)
    #15672641 - 01/16/12 07:42 AM (12 years, 5 months ago)

I have a cake which I just checked (its the only one in my terrarium at the moment) which is just beginning to have fruits come up and there is the normal white fuzz all around.  Thing is, on one side there is some slightly yellowish stuff too, sort of "light beer" color.  I smelled it (was that a hazard?) and it appeared to smell sort of like vinegar.  The mushrooms coming coming up look fine. I can post pics, but I was hoping to ask first because I was kicking myself over sniffing the thing and I want to make sure I'll be fine.

Edit: the area in question is small and not brightly colored enough for it to show up in pictures using photo booth, which is the only camera I have on me right now.  Maybe thats a good thing.  I'd still like to get some educated guesses.  As I said, its sort of a light beer color, nothing lurid or super-obvious.  And the fruits are looking okay.  Also, I've got a cold right now and my sense of smell can't be trusted so the "vinegar" smell may not be real, the rest of the cake didn't smell much different I think.

I have treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder (which is actually why I'm growing the mushrooms) but as a result I can get freaked out easily.  I seem to remember there was some visual mold chart here that might be helpful, anyone have a link or enough knowledge based on my description?

Okay, I looked at some mold pics, isn't nearly as obvious as those but it is a fuzz that isn't white.  As I said, it won't show up on photo booth pictures, so I can't use that.  I'm going to assume that I'll be fine after smelling it, so I'm moving on to saving this cake. Can I do anything to remove/sterilize the area of the cake, assuming it actually is a problem?

Without a pic it's hard to know what it is and what to tell you to do.

I took some pics but they don't capture what I saw.  I did some more research and had two ideas.  One is whether its the metabolites (that right?), the secretions or whatever.  Can that happen once the cake is in the terrarium?  It would seem unlikely since it appeared to be on only one section of the cake, and appeared fuzzy, although I suppose it could be a stain.  The other option from what I read is sepedonium, but there is no black.  I don't have a pic for either so I don't know what either looks like.  Hopefully its just metabolites.

Okay, cool.  Its not exactly yellow, its a duller hue, sort of like light beer.  Its a bit fuzzy, but then again the cake has recently been in the pinning stage, so its kind of like that all around.  Either way, as long as things are fine, excellent.
