contamination after birth... what is this? *pic included*
    #21604171 - 04/27/15 02:26 PM (9 years, 23 days ago)

I left my friend over the weekend to take care of my fruiting chamber, so my contamination spread quite a bit before being removed. This is what I took out.  What is it? Has this probably already spread to my other cakes? If so, what do I do, or is it too late? 

Thanks!

As for the other cakes just keep an eye on them. You see that on any of them just toss them asap.

It looks like that cake was already almost completely colonized by it before you birthed it. Notice it broke into chunks that's probably why.

Actually, Kizzle, it was already separate cakes, not one that broke apart (I had to birth early and removed excess substrate, so they are weird shapes... I'm graduating soon and chose to do that risky shortcut instead of having to throw everything away).

But, this actually worries me more that it happened to multiple cakes in the fruiting chamber.

Am I not airing it out enough? Or are there any other preventative measures I can take?

Also, if it contaminates any others but I catch it early, can I just cut that part of the cake off? Or should I just throw the entire thing away?

I vote just toss them out and start over... cakes are cheap and easy.

It possible the birthing early had something to do with it. Maybe you didn't get all the uncolonized substrate off. These kind of molds don't occur on healthy fully colonized cakes. They need a foothold, uncolonized substrate to germinate and grow on. Normally when you encounter it it's found that foothold before birthing, because it has to do it before the cake was fully colonized usually from a contaminated syringe or something like that, but if the cake birthed early...

Yeah, the birthing early was probably the problem.  I was just getting desperate because I have to throw everything away in a few weeks when I graduate/move out, so I wanted to try to get at least some mature fruit.  I guess I'll just keep an eye out for contaminations and hope that at least some of the better cakes make it through.  Thanks everyone!
