Bluish-green unfruited cakes
    #16830147 - 09/11/12 04:54 PM (12 years, 4 months ago)

Greetings all. This is my second attempt at growing, and my first post.

I have followed the PF Tek and had 6 out of 10 of my original jars produce healthy looking cakes. I made a "shotgun" style fruiting chamber with wet perlite on the bottom and the cakes about an inch or so above. I have been misting occasionally and providing the chamber with indirect sunlight from a nearby window.

I first put the cakes into the chamber about 2 weeks ago and so far there is no sign of pinning. I used the "dunk-and-roll" method on 5 of the cakes and the mycelium has basically overtaken the outer layer of vermiculite, but no signs of pins as of yet.

Today when I was checking in on my cakes and one of them has developed this bluish-green coloration. This must have occurred over a number of days but it was positioned in the chamber that I didn't notice it until I thoroughly examined the chamber from multiple directions...

I am concerned mostly whether or not this is some sort of bacterial infection or other contaminant, I would hate to have it spread to the other cakes and lose any potential crop I might have.

I am also concerned about the lack of any pinning on my other healthy-looking cakes. It has been colder lately so I was concerned that may be the problem, but it is still basically around room temperature. Perhaps humidity could be an explanation for this? Or perhaps I am imaptient...

tl;dr:

-See image above. Is that an infection? Should I throw out that cake?

-My cakes have been sitting in a fruiting chamber for over 2 weeks and no sign of pinning, what gives?

Thanks in advance.



P.S. I looked through previous threads and many no longer had pictures. Also most of those pertained to actual mushrooms and not mycelium.

Peeduece,
Sorry for your loss. That cake is smoked and I do not like the looks of your other cakes. Be prepared to say good by to everything in that tub. Including rack and perlite

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.
