First Grow, Unknown Growth :/
    #17330642 - 12/04/12 01:36 AM (12 years, 1 month ago)



What is this growing off of my cake? I have little button-heads starting to pop out near the bottom that look normal, but I have no idea what this thing is. It is gold in color.




And this is a late cake I have growing, but is started forming amber droplets, is this bad?

I'm not sure but I think I see trich on top of the cake with the growth...take a better pic of the white fuzz on the top of that one.

And why do u have foil on the jars still? The foil comes off after sterilization.

The yellow drops look like metabolites, it happens when the mycellium is stressed.

Did you dunk the cakes for 24hrs after birthing? You also used the wrong size jars.

Trichoderma is a contam yes, also your worst enemy...it starts off white and sporilates green, then the spores get everywhere and can ruin your future grows.

Take a better pic of the top of that cake with the growth...take a couple pics.

And metabolite mean the mycellium is stressed, maybe from fighting off a contam.

That one thing looks like a  blob.
I've seen those form caps unexpectedly even
Saw many blobs on my last shiitake block

Would cutting off the blob help stop the contam, or is all lost for this batch?

No, the contam has nothing to do with the blob.

Blobs on shiitake is usually over-supplementation.

I don't think it's trich.  Looks more like an extreme lack of FAE.

Is that tyvek over the perlite?

That will inhibit your FAE and humidity.
