Alcohol?
    #22013382 - 07/29/15 05:27 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

I know this sounds weird.. but I saved a bunch of stump trimmings, mixed it in with some left over WBS and it had colonized WBS still attached to some.

I thought it would be cool to collect the trimmings and do a grow from it, how ever I smelled it today.. It smells so strongly of alcohol that I can't even open it near my face.  It has been able to breathe.

What the heck is going on here?  I just saved coir/wbs/stumps?

Sounds like fermentation. Did you pasteurize everything before mixing with the semi-colonized wbs? Either the coir, wbs, or stump pieces could have had yeast in them.

I picked mushrooms and cut off the stumps.  So, everything was already 100% colonized.  The WBS that was mixed in was just left over of a freshly spawned tub.  So everything should of been pretty solid, besides the massive amounts of handling the stumps received.

It's some kinda fermentation, I am gonna light this shit on fire

Oh i thought you meant wood shavings from a tree stump. Idk where the vector presented the infection but a strong alcoholic smell is indicative of yeast. Any discoloration or slime?

It is probbly best to toss it out :thumbup: or burn it :lol:

Yup sounds like yeast moved in. What are you going to grow on it?

Fermentation odors are generally related to a lack of gas exchange or excessive moisture.
