Fruiting possible contaminated cakes? They have grown pins *PICS added*
    #18939634 - 10/06/13 10:38 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

First grow

3 fully colonized cakes

2 possibly have contams. A few very small off-white/cream colored spots (pencil eraser size and smaller)showed up on 2 cakes. They still fruited some invitro pins, however.

Can I birth and fruit all 3 cakes in the same chamber without problems? I realize fruiting is not a sterile procedure, but I'm not sure if the presence of contams would harm any growth

Thanks, yo!

If you have contam on the surface then most likely contam is coming from within. Sure you can attempt to fruit them. do the cakes smell bad?

Pics would help diagnose this

Growing from contaminated substrates can imperil future grows by covering your walls, ceiling, carpet, etc. with mold spores.

The fruits themselves will be OK if the mold is only on the substrate/cakes, but you should fruit them outdoors, not in the grow area you wish to use in the future.

Thanks guys.

I think at least two of the spots I saw the other day turned out to be pin heads. Growing outside is not an option, its too cold now. I haven't opened the jars, so I don't know if they smell bad yet.

PS thanks RR for everything you do. Your vids helped me realize where I went wrong in a couple places on this first grow (after I made the mistake, of course :grin:)



Edit: From what I read, you're supposed to let cakes fully colonize, then sit another week before birthing. However these are pinning now so I want to get them out of the jars. I realize the one cake doesnt look quite ready.

I don't think that's pins you're pointing at.
The last pic looks slimy bacteria-style :frown:

In the first pic, it looks like a blob or splotch in the top right.
It's hard to see clearly through the thick glass, but it might be a little
pin growing upside down below the blob.
Pins before full colonization usually means a contam of some sort is present,
and the mycelium tries to get some fruits to mature for future survival.

How does your dry verm barrier look now?

The pins that have formed are all located at the bottom (top?) towards the dry verm layer. They are not pictured.

Sorry, I was a little confusing here. What I meant is that some of the spots are now gone, turned into pins. Pictured above are the remaining concerning spots.
