First grow paranoia! Are these ok? possible bacterial blotch?
    #19120797 - 11/11/13 02:11 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Hi fellow shroomers

So its my first grow and I have the usual paranoia. I did a few searches on bacterial blotch but dont have the confidence to try and ID anything myself yet. I might have been misting too heavily:frown:

I have noticed my fruits getting these weird indentations on the caps and some have lighter "blemishes" . Some also seem to be a bit deformed and wrinkly like raisins almost. This could be unrelated but, compared to my first few cakes, they seem to be opening the veils while they are still very small and seem to be growing slower. These are multispore. Some of these pics are first flush, some second. The second flush cakes had a great first flush and now with the second flush they also show these dents.


Second flush



First flush..Most of these guys have the veil opening up or fully opened. They have been harvested now. I couldnt smell anything odd but they did have a really strong mushroom smell. On the second pic of this cake you can clearly see the blemishes on the biggest mushroom at the top of the pic. They all have the dent on the top.


First flush..Some more dents


Second flush



These two guys have been drying for an hour when i took the pic. they were also second flush.

Does this look like bacterial blotch?
And if so what do I do from here?
Do I toss all my cakes?
Harvest and spray cakes with peroxide, let them dry and dunk,  then sterilize SGFC, replace perlite and go for a second flush?

And lastly is this RR comment from 2005 still valid?

Bacterial endospores can't germinate inside a human.  The danger is food poisoning from live bacteria.  Dried mushrooms can't possibly have live bacteria, so they're safe to eat.  Whenever you're in doubt, simply boiling will kill any live bacteria, but it's totally unnecessary with dried fruits.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to help a paranoid noob.

Help!

I found this weird looking white stuff with a green sheen growing on this cake. The photo doesnt quite show the green correctly but you can see it.  It pretty much disintegrated when touched in that area. It immediately got bagged in a ziplock. I crumbled it up inside the bag and couldn`t see any green inside.




Also concerned about the fuzz all around these mushrooms` bases. You cant see the stems and it seems to be getting more. plus they are quite deformed


anybody...?

The greenish fuzz was trich. If it was in a fc with other cakes they'll likely all become contaminated. The mushies n the last pic look like they need a little more fae. I'm fairly new though, but I had the same problems as you.

Most if not all of your problems are likely to be FAE related. If you have one infected cake it doesn't necessarily mean everything else will get it too as they have their own immune system. Its not a terrible idea to isolate it from the others however. Up your fanning frequency

Thanks for the advice guys! I am quite relieved. I was ready for the worst.

Notes have been taken and fanning will be upped as of right now:)
Will also keep a close eye on the other cakes.

Much appreciation!
WL
