coir tray questions
    #22126704 - 08/22/15 12:41 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

crumbled a brf cake with coir and verm mixed it together evenly then put another 1/4 inch of coir over it.
1. why are there really little white hairs on the tray.
2. how much longer should I let this colonize? should it be a solid white mass?

1) those "little white hairs" look like strands of mycelium to my eye.

2) Hard to tell from pic but the mycelium should permeate the entire substrate.

I think he's using it like a casing??? Lol he said he put it over cakes. In which case I'd just fruit it now

Looks good maybe a bit dry. those hairs are aerial mycelium. I generally see them as a good thing. All my best cultures produce a lot of aerial mycelium. If you mixed your coir and cake than it should be fully colonised in a day or two. If you just cased a crumbled cake with coir. Then fruit it now.

Haha oh I misread it. He mixed then added a top layer. Which yeah I'd still fruit now. Most top layers fruit before full colonization anyway
