White/Gray moldy coat
    #18790184 - 09/02/13 02:28 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

This second flush is not as fulfilling as the first. I wonder what the problem might have been. Is it maybe the moisture? Or was there some contamination?



Symptoms are as follows
A couple of full grown shrooms with:
- Curved stems
- Some hollow stems with very weak tissue, which seemed to be already green when I cut em open (although this could have been caused by bruising by the knife)



A couple of small underdeveloped shrooms with:
- Caps that have a darker brown (almost black) color and seem leathery or dried out
- A really thin white/gray moldy coating - growing even on some of the darker brown caps. By really thin I mean really thin! Like 0.2 mm = .008 inch. It was just visible to my

naked eye when holding the shroom to the light.



I've searched several sites for what this could be, but to no avail.
It doesn´t seem to be dry bubble, since the shroom tissue itself doesn't show weird colors.
It doesn't seem to be Cobweb mold either, since the fur coat is quite dense (except on one shroom) and not so much like cobweb at all.

Also the white furry coats trouble me.

Any idea what the cause of all of this might be?
(Or is this all quite normal?)

Also any ideas of what I should do next?

(Don't hesitate to ask me question about my beginners tactics in cultivation and what might have gone wrong)

:confused:

Yeah, the white fur coat / blanket is what I'm worried about least. The darker caps and the dry fluffy hollow mushrooms trouble me more.

Might be a combination of poor fae, and low humidity. They seem dry, and the fuzzy usually corresponds to high c02.

I noticed that the humidity seemed to go up eventhough 'watering' them wasn't on schedule. It didn't seem like a good idea to 'water' them.

Isn't it unusual that the fuzzy coat is also covering the caps?

Your shrooms are rotting bro. This is why it is always best to follow the safe and successful ShotGun Tek. Also known as a SGFC Tek.

It is designed to allow for proper FAE and also keep humidity levels were they should be.
(Edit)  They look like they are suffering more from lack of FAE then Humidity problems. But even though this is a little grow kit and not cakes, they would still do well in a SGFC because it would solve all of your problems.

Oh and pick those aborts, they are still edible!
