Contam??? Help please!! new grower still trying to learn =
    #19219408 - 12/02/13 08:53 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Hi, this is the first grow that I have attempted and I am having some concerns about my cakes. I have been very careful about sterilizing and about avoiding contaminants. I was hoping that someone could tell me if this is a contam or not ... and also some helpful tricks on how to avoid contam after birthing ! The cakes are showing a slight blue green color but as you can see the mushrooms are still growing and it doesn't look like it is overtaking the mycelium. It looks as if they are almost growing together. Also, they smell like fresh mushrooms they don't smell bad at all.

I can't tell so much from your pics, but blue green is almost always just bruising. Strait green is what you wanna watch out for. I think your fine, especially if it smells good to you. Contams really smell like shit. I mean, I have grown with horse shit and it smelled fine until it got contaminated, then it smelled fresh from the horses ass. Haha. Good luck on your grow man.

Bruising naturally occurs when your cakes are handled roughly. It's nothing you need to get rid of, it just happens. Just like how the stems of mushrooms turn blue. Nothing that you need to worry about.

Is it possible that it could show up a few days after they were handled roughly because they didn't look like that for like 5 days and weren't handled after they were put into the terrarium. Sorry about all the questions i'm a bit of a newbie and prolly a little more paranoid than I should be =p

Tiny picture, but that looks off to me.

Mold will look like...well, mold. It will be fuzzy, green, and clearly growing on top of the cake itself.

Bruising looks like the cake itself has turned a different color.

Bruising can happen from a number of things.. misting too hard, handling cakes, dunking for 24 hours etc

Alright in that case yeah I do think it's bruising because they still smell good, I dunked for 24 hours, and I have been misting them pretty directly, which I will now stop doing. I just want to also say thanks to all the people that replied to this I really appreciate the support from the community thanks guys =))
