Cotton-like growth on top of caps
    #19463486 - 01/23/14 04:49 PM (10 years, 11 months ago)

There's some weird growth on top of my mushroom caps. I took a drop of Hydrogen Peroxide 91% diluted 4:1 peroxide:distilled water and it just absorbed it, where it absorbed it became a slightly darker shade due to moisture absolution?

Could be, but I wouldn't worry about that growth. Probably some mutation or a reaction to Rh levels.

It's not a contaminant if that's what you're about though I couldn't what caused it.

Lack of adequate light can sometime result in tiny caps and cone shaped fruit bodies like what you're seeing there. Make sure they're getting enough.

You need to get more fresh air in there, the CO2 levels are to high. Also the mycelium on the stems suggest the same thing.
