Golden bits on my mushroom cake....
    #22129694 - 08/23/15 06:19 AM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Can only discribe these bits as gold abit like those thin kernel shells you get in pop corn that get stuck in your teeth. My cakes where fine for two weeks then these appeared. Could it be from it bein left near the boiler and getting hot?
Any one else had this problem and cakes been ok? I was VERY sterile and no blue mould has appeared. The cake still smells mushroomy.
Could it be because they are golden teachers? Lol
Thank you!!!

First off, if you don't post any pics, it's hard for other cultivators to determine what is going on.

There is no "blue mold" you should be worried about, it's just bruised mycelium from handling your cakes too much.

The kernel thing you're describing, could just be a piece of verm sticking out from your cake, im assuming you rolled your cake (which you should).

It's still in the jar. Still waiting for it to fully colonise.

It looks okay so far but take that foil off, your dry verm layer will protect the brf mix from airborne contams getting through. The foil is also inhibiting crucial GE and making it harder for the cake to fully colonize.

Edit: The verm has gotten thru to the sides of the cake, it's not growing from the cake, don't worry about it.

Thank you so much Psilosoulful!!! I did post pics up on here yesterday and someone told me to chuck it because its contaminated but that didn't feel right to me. I will take the foil off like u said. Did like it's little foil hat though lol. How long do u think it has left until I should birth it if U don't mind me asking? Cheers :wink:

No problem man, I would birth that one week after full colonization is reached. Because of the lighting, I'm not completely sure if there is yellow spots on the mycelium, but try to fruit it anyway. When birthing, it should only smell like fresh mushrooms, anything else, and you can be sure that it's a contam. BRF cakes can fruit through bacteria, but if you see any green, then toss it out!! :goodluck:

Did you just open up the jar to smell it? :lol: You should only open up the jar when your ready to go to the next step. Might as well birth it then, if the outside is fully colonized then you shouldn't have to worry about contams. The center of the cake will finish colonizing in your SGFC and it will fruit when it's ready. Remember to mist/fan 3x a day. :aum:

No, I just sniffed through one of the holes in the lid lol. Can smell the mushroomy smell through it, :s. Anyway, I thought I had to wait a week after fully colonizing it, giving it some indirect light, before I birth it?

It's possible, that jar doesn't look 100% clean, but it still has a chance to produce a decent first flush. And yes, wait the extra week before birthing!

I think the lighting is making it look worse than it is. It, isn't that yellow looking in real life.
I have a feeling it's ok... Lol.
Psilosoulful, do you wait for pins to grow on yours, before you birth it? Also, do you dunk and roll after birth?

If you see any pins during the consolidation period, birth it immediately. Dunk and roll everytime, they will pin better with the verm coating the surface of the cake.

I think it's just where it was left next to my Boiler, and got heated.

And still spray the humidity chamber?
Also, I heard that pins are a good sign to see, just before birthing?

how would heat create a new species in your jar? I understand you're reluctant to throw this all away but you really should start somehting new and dont expect much from those cakes in the pics..
