yes, it is, and if it gets excessive, and starts "reaching" it usually means you have a lack of FAE

if it looks like this, then FAE is the culprit, and you need more....

That ain't cobweb mold.  It's a condition your mushrooms have to show you visually that they do not have enough Fresh air exchange.  It's called fuzzy feet.  They look good.

Thanks everybody, you all are a big help! I ended up spraying with h202 a couple days ago and it stalled the mushi production. But now that I understand the situation they are taking off and look very happy!
Soon I'll be putting a Brazilian strain in the FC when they are fully consolidated.

I have a few questions.
Can you inoculate a grain quart jar with a slice of a BRF cake?? The mycelium is taking forever in my grain jars and I'm wanting to multiply jars. Also when do I shake jars?? 30% & 50% & 80%?
Last question, How can you tell when a cake is exhausted/depleted? and what do you do with your cakes at that point?

shake at 30 i wouldn't trust a cake to inoculate grains unless i had a proper filter and when a cake stops producing fruits it's done and i burry them outside and top with manure or just chuck them in the compost pile

In this picture, is it a sign of excessive fuzzy feet?

Hey T.
I'm not an expert by any means, and I rarely see cobweb, but to me that just looks like mycelium. I get it at the base of the fruits especially if it's a bit too moist but I take it as a good sign. It's just vigorous growth.

I think people around here call it 'fuzzy feet'.

Hello Shroomery! I hope all is well for you. For myself, I'm having great success with my brf cakes and am also having alot of fun expanding my knowledge of mycology.

One simple question. Is this an excessive amount of fuzzy feet?? Pretty much all my mushies have the same amount and sometimes even more. Is there any negative effects with fuzzy feet? Thanks!

don't worry too much about it:thumbup: it can be a problem but i find as long as it's just your fruits showing signs and not your whole cake you should be fine

When can I g2g?? It's hard to tell in the pics because I shook them today but I would say they are almost 20%. Inoculated on 12/18.
How many jars on average does one quart make by using the g2g method?

G2G when they are 100% You could probably do a dozen receiving jars for a quart master, all depends on how fast you want them to colonize, use less jars and more colonized grains per jar for quicker colonization.

What is the best way I can save strains for later use? I'm just starting and learning LC but I have this feeling LC doesn't last very long. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Also when preparing a LC jar, would you want a filter in the lid? It would make it easier for me shake the jar if not.

for lc's you want a whatman/syringe filter, but for culure storage you want agar and slants

Ok thanks alot. I have made my own filter with TYVEK and self seaing injection port with RTV. Does anybody know how long this filter and injection port last for? Injection port probably gets the most damage.
How long do agar plates last for? Do they have to be refrigerated for storage??

I have already lost 2 of the 6 strains sent to me so I'm eager to make a collection. :evil:

Happy New Year Shroomery!
I thought I would post an update of my FC as I also have a few questions.
Anyways, I have put in 8 more BRF jars that are a Brazilian strain. The mushies are growing very thick at the base, not like how my Z strain did, so I'm wondering if they are lacking FAE or if its just the strain itself. They look like there going to be big mushies but the head of it stays very small.  Let me know what you all think and if there is something I should improve. I have reduced spraying to 1-2 a day.
Here is the Brazilian.



Here are my Z strain cakes. They are on there second flush and need another dunk. The mushrooms on these cakes are "very" skinny and not much pins at all. Is this a sign of all the nutrients being used up and the cake is done, or does it just need another dunk??
Sorry for the newb questions. I take much pride with everything I grow so for this being my first time I would like to do my best! Thanks!

At what time should you rehydrate the perlite in the FC?
