Nasty contamination. Is it coweb?
    #19375010 - 01/05/14 09:56 PM (10 years, 25 days ago)

Hi everyone

This is my first post on the forums. I gotta say that I've been reading many posts and I love the oommunity that has grown here.

I've been growing mushrooms for almost a year but just on the last months it started to show some results. It seems summer has sped up the colonization times but sadly also the mold contamination got more frequent.

My biggest problem has been a grayish, hairy like mold that has grown over the cakes. I don't know if it's coweb or if it's something else. It gets really thick and once it's grown is resistant to both hydrogen peroxide or fresh air and lack of humidity. I'm sorry of the quality of the picture isn't the best. My camera is a bit crappy
I had to throw the cakes away as soon as possible to save other jars. I tried putting one of the cakes in diluted bleach to see if it killed the mold but it seemed to recover quite soon.
Does anyone recognize it? is there a way to kill it without losing the cakes?

Don't say that! Lol.



OP, you may want to review your sterile procedure. How are you sterilizing the jars?

man after reading all these posts I went to harvest and saw a small greenish discolored area on my mono.  Got freaked out, harvested half and scraped off the rest of the pins that were just taking off. Got the trash bag out and decided to check the spot out again.  Put a spot light on it and poked it with my scapel...

It was just some leathery old mycilium from the first flush stumps.

:doublefacepalm:

yeah, it had that when I threw it away. It seems the contamination happened right after harvesting, when I put the cakes on water to hydrate them.

funny thing is that neither diluted bleach nor fire seemed to kill it. Nuking it did not look like a bad idea at the time. It spread so fast that I had to do a deep wash of the fructification box. My current cakes are contaminant free but I've lost 6 jars to that crap last month :mad2:

Nah, that contamination happened long before that. Probably when you first inoculated the jars. You just didn't see it until then.
