I keep getting cobweb mold on my cakes, I really don't know whats going on here?
    #18732655 - 08/20/13 02:44 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

my temps have been 72-80 degrees with humidity levels from 90-95. I have been misting and fanning 3-5 times daily and I'm making sure Im giving the cakes PLENTY of FAE but im still getting fucking cobweb on my cakes. I heard you can spray 3% peroxide on the cakes but i have no idea what the 3% part even means. Help would really be awesome right now and WHERE CAN I BUY PEROXIDE?? HOME DEPOT??

Contams are related more to your sterile technique during inoculation and colonisation than to your misting and fanning. Colonised cakes are virtually contam resistant.

If you can find peroxide, it comes in dilutions/solutions of 1% and 3%. I've successfully dabbed some 3% on cobweb and killed it off. Don't know about spraying the whole cake though

If its cubes i know you can spray it directly and wont kill the mycelium. Dont know about other types but im sure it's the same. Now whether it hinders growth temporarily or kills mold i don't know. But i always put just a little peroxide in my misting bottle.

And this is what my cakes end up like.

And also it is sitting on the jar lid stuffed with vermiculite that is wet with peroxide only.  Im on my first grow, 5 cakes, and no contams yet.  Hope this info helped some.

Poor fruiting conditions can allow contams to get the hold they need to get going. they thrive in still stale air.

So, during fruiting plenty of FAE is a good prevention to contamination.


But yes, generally contamination is usually back to inoculation.

OP

Are you sure you have cobweb, ive never seen it on my cakes and i see lots of people claiming to have cobweb when they dont.

Cobweb will grow very fast, it can overtake a cake in as little as 24 hours, its grey and stringy. Fluffy mycelium can be mistook for cobweb.


you will know its cobweb if you spray it with 3% h202. h202 is usually sold at 3% concentration so you use it as is. Sometimes though it comes in other concentrations and if it does you will diluite it down so its 3%

when you spray h202 on cobweb it will fizzle and melt away.

treat it again 12 hours after even if it appears to have gone.

it will stun mycelium but not kill it.
