first-timer - seven days in: fuzzy, white BRF cakes
    #22068404 - 08/09/15 05:31 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Hi again everyone,

I'm hitting the 7th day anniversary since birthing in a SGFC. I've seen no pinning signs at all. But a fuzzy white growth has been slowly moving over the cakes over this time. There's some clear aerial mycelium toward the bottom. The fuzzy cotton ball growths all around are a mystery to me. They're bright white and smell fine. I just tried plucking a bit with tweezers and they were solidly attached.

I just don't know what to think right now. I really appreciate your eyes and whatever you can tell me from the above and the pics below. Thanks.

Looks like a moisture problem; spray directly. How much perlite do you have in your FC? You want your cakes to be glistening wet but don't let water pool on them.

There are holes on all sides of the FC - there is not a FAE problem.

Spray the cakes directly until glistening more often.

Doesn't look like stroma to me.

How often do you mist/fan?

Where is your SGFC? Is it 6-12" off the ground and away from any wall?

Do you have 1/4" holes on all six sides? Top and bottom included?

Do you have 4-5" of perlite in there?

Do you have a fan running? You shouldn't for an SGFC.

Did you consolidate for seven days?

What strain is this?

Poke some of the fuzzy growth, does it appear to come of no problem?

This is stroma:

That is some insane aerial myc! :eek:




This occurs when you don't have enough FAE in your chamber. The mycelium is stretching to try to reach fresh air.

This is bacteria:

More Fuzzy





Notice how it looks different? Bacteria blobs up and aerial myc comes out in strands. A bacteria cake will still fruit given more time and the fruits from this cake are safe to eat.

That's DEFINITELY Stroma. Maybe his camera isn't as good as ours but stroma normally looks wet and has tiny pockets in it. It's hard to explain but I think you know what I mean. That looks like myc expanding because it hasn't found a suitable climate to pin in.

I bet he's misting 3-4 times a day.

move your cakes closer together, they will work off eachothers heat currents, other then that patients my man

:super:

Also you could cut the foil down to right around the cakes. Make sure you're flipping the foil over every now and then because water will accumulate down their and cause bottom pinning.

Clear the perlite when you flip.

> How often do you mist/fan?

It's been twice per day. Excluding last night and this morning when I didn't do either (I was away for 24 hours).


> Where is your SGFC? Is it 6-12" off the ground and away from any wall?

Yes. On its own table, elevated on blocks 2ish inches off that table. ABout 2 feet from the nearest wall - all other walls are much farther away.

> Do you have 1/4" holes on all six sides? Top and bottom included?

Yes. All six sides. 2" apart.

> Do you have 4-5" of perlite in there?

4" of perlite (measured).

> Do you have a fan running? You shouldn't for an SGFC.

I've had an air conditioner running in the room to keep the temperature down, elsewhere in the room and blocked from blowing directly onto the chamber. With cooler temperatures recently I turned the air conditioner off over the last day.


> Did you consolidate for seven days?

Yes.


> What strain is this?

B+


> Poke some of the fuzzy growth, does it appear to come of no problem?

No. It's firmly stuck.

> This is stroma:

It's honestly hard to tell. It doesn't look like the bacteria on those pictures (not so soapy not so big). But it's definitely more blobby than strandy.

It's veg myc.

Once during the day and once at night? I'm surprised, I pinned it as overwatering. How much do you mist? Just enough to get the cakes wet or do you drench them? Don't drench them. Just get them wet.

Is your perlite wet? Stick your finger down about two inches. Do you feel moisture? If not take out the cakes and run the SGFC through the shower to get the perlite nice and damp.

Also, raise it 6" up if you can. You need air coming in from the bottom, this is the primary source of your humidity as perlite holds water and the air grabs that water and pulls it up to the SGFC, creating a humid environment.

It's not bacteria :thumbup:

I actually think it is a lack of moisture; make sure you spray cakes directly until glistening. Also agree add more perlite.

I've tried to mist to that fine balance of wet but not drenched. For each mist I might give 10-20 good bursts from the sprayer all around the terrarium. The cakes usually look just a bit glistening when I'm done - drops all around the walls and a few drops on the tin foil but no pooling of water.

Taking out some of the deep perlite, I feel moistness. But not necessarily a *lot* of moistness.

So.. the 2" from the table surface now isn't enough? It should be 6" raised?

I would raise it :shrug:

I used a milk crate when I did cakes.

I'd wait it out then, maybe cut your misting back to 5-10 seconds. No need to mist the walls, they will not grow.

Fan for 10-20 seconds.

Also, about the white blobs - on the bottoms of some of the cakes they look decidedly pointy, and on the bottom of at least one cake I can quite clearly see strands coming out.
