I'm no expert by any means but that looks ok to me. Let them go for a bit and see how it goes.

Looks like trich.

In my experience once they fruit I stop misting the fruit directly. Only mist the sides and lid to keep humidity up. I think the brown spots are what I've seen referred to as "water burning" on the caps. It's water that beads up on the cap and causes an issue. I don't think it's going to wreck your crop but try to not let it get worse. Over misting has caused pseudonoma(or something like that which is a bacterial contaminate) on some of mine from over misting. I've heard it causes brown spots on caps too and with continued missing it will get worse and cause deterioration of the tissue. I stopped in time and it didn't get worse. You can see the brown spots on the stems in this picture.

Also the white bumps could be mycelium growing on the caps. I can't really tell in your pics. When I ran b+ I got a ton of them with it. Check out my pics in my signature for the coolest looking one. But it really just looks like the normal white bumps I've seen on most young fruits. Also fanning doesn't really do much. You need good consistent FAE. Fanning just blasts them with fresh air for a few seconds. Yes they are still good. If they start getting slimy they might not be anymore. I still ate my pseudonoma ones and am fine. I hope this helps.

Looks like bruising to me, but I'm no expert. Could be from being on the dry side?

I'm new to the whole agar thing so feel free to ignore me, but IME I would make some transfers now from the 5-8 o clock areas on the first pic. Just the leading edge of the growth. Make a few plates from those sections so if one is contaminated you have back up plates. If you have extra plates take one or two samples from the opposite side as an experiment just to see what happens.

I would like to say severe bruising from dryness but it looks like more going on than that. From what my untrained eye can see it looks like it's screwed. If it's powdery get it out of the house ASAP as you don't want the spores to spread.

If it's not trich, which would be powdery, let it ride and see what happens. The wet feel isn't a big deal. The white caps I've had before didn't get much bigger but I've eaten them without adverse effects. I'm not advising you to eat them just giving my experience. Some of the fruits look ok so you might be able to get a small harvest from it.

At least it wasn't a total loss. Don't forget to get a clone and or a print for future use.

It could be moisture from the mushroom leaking out onto the agar but it looks bacterial to me. Was the grow clean, or was it showing signs of contamination? Clearly you were not in an ideal location for agar work so maybe you transferred some bacteria when taking the sample, even from inside tissue.

I would get a clone of the leucistic cluster ones and of the big one from the normal cluster. Try growing them out again and see if you get the same results. I do not see any signs of vert. Good job!

I'm not a super experienced person so take what I say with the smallest grain of salt but are you sure it's trich? Some looks a little yellow and the first looks a bit blue. Maybe metabolite for yellow ones and bruised side pins for the blue? If you are sure it's contaminated, since I'm looking at pics and you are looking at the real deal, I would move the boxes that are infected to a different location if you are dead set on getting a first flush from them.  I'm not that familiar with the neglect tek but have read over it quickly before. If you have any FAE going on and they are around the other boxes there is a chance of spores escaping and going into the other boxes. Hopefully it turns out ok for you.

Just my opinion. I'm always cautious and move anything I think is contaminated out of the grow area. I've had trich 1 time and it didn't spread to my other boxes so moving that 1 helped. I would say if it's dark green it probably is trich and the spores are wet which will help them not be airborne. For a short answer, if you want to try to salvage it, I'd get it out of the area. If you let it grow do not open it in the building you grow in. Anywhere in the building! Do not open them then open the non contaminated containers. Get a shower and wash the clothes you were wearing before opening the others. The spores can spread and effect future projects for a long time. Even if you don't see them spreading they might be.  Good luck!

I would dump it. Sitting water is a breeding ground for bacteria.

It looks a little thick to be cobweb. Look at some other pictures of cobweb mold. I would say it's just bruised mycelium. I'm guessing it showed after misting? Although your sub looks a little dry to me. I like to see little beads of water on the surface of my tubs, until the little guys get a little bigger than what you have there, then I stop misting until after harvest. First flush on this one?

I would trash it. I hate saying that to people and I hate having to do that myself even more, but that's how things go in this line of work.

Just pop the plastic off the side of the mycelium so the condensation can run down and so it has more surface area to breathe. You can still get fruits from that although it is less than perfect.




I don´t really know what you mean by “pop the plastic off the side of the mycelium…”

Care to elaborate a bit?




They mean to move your sub away from the side of the "plastic" tub. It took me a second to understand too because I was tripping at the time I read that.

I'm guessing here without seeing anything but, it's probably because of the bacterial spawn/contam. I had a good 4 flushes before my tub contaminated and then the fruits would fall over just from a slight shake of the tub. Before that I could pick up the entire substrate with holding a few fruits. My experience is limited so I could be way off.
