Look at all these dots... knots?

This photo was taken of a fully colonized monotub that was introduced to fruiting on 9/7.

Look at these scores -- hundreds -- of tiny white dots. Think they are knots? Or just the normal mycelial surface? I think they are too numerous, varied in size and in many cases too small to be water droplets. Note that the flash was on when this picture was taken, so they appear brighter in this picture than otherwise in ordinary room light, but they are visible to the eye nonetheless.

Sonofabitch... I think they are water droplets. Are those supposed to be soaked up or left alone?

OMG NO! I can't tell if they caught the light because its water drops or if it is primordia or if it is something out of this world.

Sorry for the bump but I too am curious how it turned out.  Upon inspection today my tub has hundreds if not thousands of tees tiny white dots.  Some water droplets can be mistaken for them but there are clearly these bright white clusters of tiny white dots

I was curious At first and did a search as, the last tubs I did late last year, I think I never noticed them this small.  If they are in fact knots, I wasn't aware of them until they were fairly larger. If they in fact are knot, it looks like I might be in for a treat. :justcantwait:

Big Gulps!  Alright!  Well,  See ya later!
And if i claim to be a wise man, well, it surely means that i dont know!

Those are called hyphal knots. A lot of them is good. They'll soon be primordia, then pins. Also be careful not to hurt them because they'll be there for the next flush.
