BlueOyster on straw contam
    #16176735 - 05/03/12 01:49 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

First blue oyster grow in a straw basket...Blue Oysters were spawned to pasturized straw(no supplements or anything) exactly 3 weeks ago, almost done colonizing(has been outside under an azalea bush the entire time) but yesterday I checked it and saw what looks like trich forming on the top only. Now today it has spread a lot more.





Is there anything I should do to keep this from spreading, or just hope the mycelium takes over? I know they will still fruit, but if there's anything to help fight it I willing to do that.

Anyone think I should I take the plastic off the top now?


Thanks in advance

That'd be trich.

Lots of it.


May still fruit if there's any actual oyster myc in there.

Outside for sure.

Take the plastic off and see if you get any pins on the sides.

Looks like a total loss to me though.

Thanks-beefy..What-I-thought-too,but-was-hoping-maybe-for-a-long-shot-that-it-was-bruising-or-something..

That-trich-formed-exactly-3-weeks-from-spawning...weird.

As-I-figured-it-would-have-been-COMPLETELY-done-colonizing-by-now...but-it-isn't-and-that-is-what-might-have-allowed-the-trich-to-take-over..

I-assume-I-didn't-use-enough-spawn,4-heavily-filled-quarts,to-about-3/4-of-that-basket-with-straw..

Learned-my-lesson,next-time-I'll-use-more-spawn/less-straw-to-have-it-colonize-faster..
