Cultivators, is this contaminated?
    #20968803 - 12/12/14 09:13 PM (9 years, 5 months ago)

I made up sawdust bags and inoculated from grains;oysters. Some of the bags look thick whit mycelium blocks, others light geryish wispy myc. I fruited the bags which were inoculated sooner. They unfortunatly were more greyish, i think they were contaminated. They produced pins after about 4 days but they stayed very small and yeilded very poorly. I know i need to work on more FAE, but these produced so poorly and fc smells somewhat of decaying animal? But still the sweetish oyster smell. I put in a sgfc one block cut in half with top exposed and bag folded down. The other one were in bags but with lots of holes and bag torn away some.  Temp 65. Misted 2-4 times a day. Also i submerged the blocks for 24 hours before fruiting. 

Some of my blocks are

So can u guys tell from these pics is infected. Cobweb? Trich? Any help would be appreciated.

This probably belongs in a different section but it looks to me like the blocks needed to be colonised more fully before introducing into fruiting conditions.

I cant visibly make out any contamination but there likely will soon be since there is uncolonised substrate exposed on the outsides of the block. The decaying animal smell is probably bacterial.

Hope this helps.

I agree with this. I think that the white stuff you see on the block is oyster myc though, I don't see any cobweb/trich

Well thanks guys the outside colonized normal time (couple months) then i allowed two weeks for consolidation. I was thinking the center possibly went anaerobic?

Could the centers gone anaerobic, or be too densly packed thus not allowing the myc to colonize it?
