Should I stay or should I go?
    #19046244 - 10/28/13 02:00 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Well I have been having a hell of a time getting my logs to colonize right and in good time. I'm sure some have read and replied to my post in the gourmet forum, RR, well I put this here cause I thought it fit better. Here is a log with BAD problems and well despite them lots of little pins and fruits coming in. So should I keep this mess and harvest away from the bad spots or pitch it? And I know it's too wet but it did not drip a damn bit when I bagged it. Any way I know it's not right and as a newbie I'm working on it. Thanks for any and all help

That's sad news for that massive log!

That black mold looks troubling. I would certainly not want that in my house, or anywhere near areas that I will be growing or working in in the near future.

The mantra for infected grows in this forum seems to be "bury it in a shady place and pray". In your case, if you're determined to stick it out, you could move it outside and you may be able to get a few fruits out of it, depending on the weather where you are. Some oysters tolerate cold well. 

But yeah, that log looks like Donatella Versace after a three day meth binge.

That is a LOT of black mold..  your straw needs to be better cleaned my friend.  As fun as it is, chopping it up more fine will help pasteurizing.  I'll do one whole bale at one time.  Set up a tent, use a wood chipper and shoot all straw into the tent ;P  Then I use the tent as a bag and dump into a barrel.

Thanks I pretty much knew that was what would be said but held out hope....lol. I live in Key West and although it is cooler at night now they would never make it out side. On top of that I have no yard I am working in a warehouse. As for the mold again I'm in a tropical environment that is crawling with stuff....lol. I have started to cut my straw smaller and it was suggested to add Datamations earth. Any thoughts on that from you all? And thanks for the input

Do you mean diatomaceous earth?  That would kill nematodes and maggots but do absolutely nothing against molds.

Yes  that is what I mean sorry. I do at times get maggots but not house fly type. So was wondering if any of you add DE as a precaution and how much.

It won't do squat for the gnats once it's mixed into the substrate.  DE has other benefits though, such as holding a LOT of water, so it's good to use.  At one time, I'd put about a teaspoon of DE per cup of peat in casing and substrate mixes.  It will help provide moisture for the flush.

DE must be totally dry to work on insects.  It works in much the same way a pile of broken glass would cut you up if you had to crawl naked on your belly across it.
