Can someone confirm this as cobweb?
    #19120866 - 11/11/13 02:26 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Hey there,
I birthed, dunked, and rolled these PF cakes 3 days ago. Temp has run upper 70s to lower 80s and RF has been fairly high, up to 98-99%. I have not been circulating air as much as I should. Is this definitely cobweb? Should I try to just open the FC up to air before I spray with H2O2? This is my first time doing this so just wanted to get second opinions before I move on.

They're so puffyyy! :dawerp:

Before you toss those, spray thoroughly with 3% hydrogen peroxide 3 times, 12 hours apart. You might luck out and beat that back. h2o2 destroys cobweb but myc can resist it just fine.

good luck!

Cobweb. If you let the cakes sit directly on the perlite they will keep absorbing water and stuff like this will happen. You really need to place a base between the cake and the perlite. You can cut a piece of tinfoil and use it as such base.

You should discard the content, cakes and perlite, the whole stuff. Then clean thoroughly the terrarium if you pretend to use it again. Better luck next time man ...

Shockingly I think I averted disaster. A few cakes got tossed but after two h2o2 treatments twelve hours apart and lots of fresh air the cobweb is down to a grey flat layer that i scraped off. I also set the remaining cakes onto tinfoil and dropped my humidity a bit from the %95-99 it was at. Making sure to open up my less than optimal chamber every 8 hours and thoroughly fan out, then mist lightly, then fan more, then mist a bit more. I made the mistake of thinking that the cobweb at first was mycelium so now I now what to look and smell for but hopefully my remaining cakes will survive. I actually have had a bit of pinning just in the 24 hours post drastic measure. I'll take some pictures over the next few days and keep an updated log here in case it helps anyone who was having the same issues.

Thanks 8ow8 for not completely dumping on me lol, I think I'll manage to save more than half and I have learned a couple valuable lessons through my mistakes.

Peroxide won't kill that. There's really nothing to save anyway though. From the looks of it you've been growing mold since the inoculation so it's not a fresh air issue, probably used a contaminated syringe.

I'm not so sure - the last picture on the right looks like it has some actual mycelium growth. I wouldn't expect much though.

Any cake that doesn't show myc growth by now is probably done for...

Agreed on the point that there's cobweb throughout, and that killing the surface mold will only hold it back for a few days at a time.

I have tried to save cakes with every trick in the book. In my opinion, you should dispose of any cake with any contamination. You probably won't get any fruits from those, but if you can prove me wrong I'd love to hear about it
