Thanks for the input!

Is it very unhealthy for it to stay in your house? It's just in my living room haha, not really a special place. Living room and closet.

Picture Update [Re: GreenKnight]
    #21362019 - 03/04/15 04:11 PM (9 years, 10 months ago)

Hey everybody,

Just posting a quick picture update. Some exciting growth is happening, yet the bluey-green substance appears resilient! However, it is not taking over quite like the pictures of trichoderma that I've seen (and from what I've read, many people are complaining that this stuff takes over after 24-48hours).

Please see the attached. I've swabbed the greeny-blue areas with several q-tips and I can't get any powdery residue to scrape off the mycellium (at least at this point), and so I was wondering if this MIGHT be bruising (but it doesn't appear to be BLUE enough to be bruising). Also, the rest of the casing is not contaminated at all and appears to be solid white throughout (although the very heart of it could be green as can be -- I can't tell, yet!). I was thinking, though, that if this is indeed trichoderma then it should've proliferated even more by now. I was wondering if the discolouration might be a side effect of humidity(?), either not enough or too much RH.

Also, there's some interesting growth happening on the sides of my casing -- with some large brown caps appearing in random places (see attached).

I'm going to be leaving town tomorrow until Sunday. Do you think it will be OK if left alone in the dark for a few days? And should I give the top of the casing a really thorough SOAKING so that it doesn't dry out as bad when I come back? Could I think about adding a LOT of water to try to supplement for my absence?

Thanks in advance for all your thoughtful replies! I'm really having a blast with the whole process, even though I might have some contamination issues. I've been learning a lot throughout and will certainly DIY it next time.

That bottom section in the 2nd to last pic looks like the Sahara desert.

Haha, yes I thought so! I don't think I'm getting the right humidity, and it could probably do with some more water. That picture was taken right before watering. It seems that the outside is particularly dry compared to the centre -- and that's exactly where the bluey stuff is coming in.

Also, I see that the bluey substance is on the bottom part of some of the VERY small mushrooms as well. From what I read about Trichoderma is that mushrooms don't actually absorb contaminants but absorb metal -- so might that blueing be bruising or something? I've only see trich affect the actual casing, but never actually on the mushrooms themselves.

Thanks for the replies, r00t!
