BRF cake bacteria?
    #19351274 - 12/31/13 02:00 PM (10 years, 30 days ago)



The brown stuff seems to be on the glass. Does anyone know what this is?

Could anyone help me? I am new to the hobby, but followed all the sterile procedures. I have about 7 more cakes with similar spots on them.
Is this cake a goner?

The mushy parts look like over hydrated substrate. It will take forever for
them to colonize.

Is there a smell?

There is no noticeable odor when I remove the lid and smell. And the "mushy" spots are stuck to the inside of the jar and not attached to the colonized substrate. You are probably correct in that this occurred because of over hydration. I did a lot of research using this site, but was unaware that too many cc's from a syringe could become detrimental to the cake. I was under the impression that more spores =  better. Beginner mistake I guess.

There ya go right there.

Give them another week. If they have not colonized that small area then you can birth them and using the tip of a sharp and clean knife you can carve out those spots to expose mycelium underneath.

I know some people don't approve this move but I would flip the jar. Gravity will pull down the accumulated liquid and it will be absorbed by the dry verm layer.

If you leave it like it is now, it will take much longer to colonize and risk of contamination will increase.

Thanks for the feedback, I will try flipping the cake and see what happens.
