Is this contam or bruising? :(
    #19128314 - 11/12/13 07:45 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

It seems like the top of the cake seems a bit bluish/greenish. Also the base of that shroom suddenly has those streaks.


And if it is contam, what should I do? I've isolated it in another tub so that it doesn't spread. Any way I can save the shroom or the cake at all? D:

Ah! Okay! I was so sure it was contams because I didn't realize the actual cake could bruise like that too. The shroom I could understand but the cake turning a bit blueish at the top I hadn't seen before. I was convinced it was over and going to spread to all of them! lol...


On a side note now that I really think about it, it may have gotten bruised from one of the times I was fanning and accidentally dropped the lid into the container. Maybe I banged it with the lid or something.

Yeah cakes usually don't start bruising until around the time they start fruiting so in some cases they'll remain unbruised even after banging them out of the jar.

They also bruise when they get dehydrated so if you ever see widespread bruising and the cake feels like it lost most of it's water weight you'll know why.

Okay something new now.... THis morning I woke up to find a whole lot of white covering the base of a whole lot of shrooms in my tub. It's only in the base area so my first thought is that it's probably mycelium spreading onto the shroom, but then it could also be the dreaded cobweb stuff I keep hearing about?  They are treasure coast shrooms.

So is this contam or just normal happy growth? (this tub is a closed space using an air pump. I'm using two different tubs to compare results)



Also in the last 2 pics, the cap of this shroom is a different color from all the rest. It's also in a different tub (shotgun tek tub). Actually I've noticed a lot less growth in the shotgun tek tub than in my other closed air pump tub.






EDIT: Okay I searched the forums and found the white stuff is normal :smile: Just high humidity. I'm starting to think though that the shotgun tek case has humidity problems because although it reads 99%, it always drops really fast to like 91% or 85% the moment I open the top.  THat could be why there are barely any shrooms growing and why that big one seems to have a different color. Or maybe not.
