A few of my mycelium cakes have developed a black sludge
    #22264728 - 09/20/15 12:46 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

So I had some fully colonized mycelium cakes in the fruiting chamber.  Never had this happen in any of my other grows.  However my question is, is this mold?  This is a new strand so I dont know the behavior of them.  Also is there anything i can to: like scrape it off?  Or is it a lost cause and I should just trash them?  Any advice/suggestions.... anything is greatly appreciated!  Thanks guys!  PS the way the pictures look the black appears to be green, it must be the light because I can assure you its black....

Now THAT sounds like bacteria.

I can't see the image; it's a broken link. Just going by your description.

If it smells like ass then it's bacteria, for sure.

I pulled up the link. I see at least 3 types of contaminants there.

Two are on the perlite.

I'm wondering why... There has to be *something* organic there that it is living on.

I'm guessing the black isn't spores since it doesn't sound like they have fruited...

"Black sludge" makes me think "bacteria" but if it's not slimy it could be a mould.

Regardless, if it hasn't fruited that doesn't look good and I'd probably toss it.

Even if you can salvage a partial flush is it worth sporulating all over the place?

There also looks like there are a few mushrooms that aren't even cubensis... If I'm seeing that right.
