HEELP! I done sumthin stoopid (pillowcase casing)
    #21585387 - 04/23/15 11:37 AM (9 years, 27 days ago)

hello all, been a while since I posted to the shroomery, so I spawned a monotub about 4 days ago and its now around 2/3 colonized from what I can tell (I used a 1:1 spawn ratio) but I did something a little stoopid . when I spawned it I didn't use a liner and I was concerned that if I didn't cover the sub with something it would dry out or the co2 levels would get too low or something noobish like that, I paniced, I looked around thinking "what do I have here that is sterile-ish?" right there within arms reach was the pillowcase I sterilized my straw in, so I spread it out on top of my sub, put the lid on and tucked the tub away in a pleasant corner of the room, now reality has set in, what have I done.

it doesn't seem to really be colonized I only see 1 dime sized spot of mycelium growing through the pillowcase, if it doesn't colonize my job is simple, when the sub is ready for fruiting just pull the pillowcase out of there, but if it does colonize the cloth, what do I do? leave it in and hope to get a decent pinset or rip it out and hope the substrates surface recovers?

Take the pillowcase out.

I am fearful that if I open my tub now I will expose the partially colonized substrate to airborne contaminants.

You already exposed it to millions of contaminates when you spawned it.

Most definitely take off that pillowcase lol its doing nothing but suffocating and providing a breeding ground for bacteria and mold.. It's probably damp and not a good thing to have laying on the surface. Needless to say it could go and colonise the cotton case and probably still fruit but most likely your going to get a moldy pillow case and tric all over your tub... Id remove it but its your call.
