That's the best looking mycelium in the tub. Your grow is soaked friend. If you've been misting take a vacation.

Ridiculous amount of metabolites indicating contamination?
Another type of contamination all together?
Good or belongs in the trash?



That looks less like metabolites and more like bacteria to me

I have to agree.  Considering it's this bad and not even half way colonized, I would say it's trash.

Others have called me out on that.  I'll hold back on misting.  Mind you, I wasn't misting the substrate itself, just the walls.

Thanks!

Usually bacteria is clear or more brown. With nothing colonized underneath it. This seems to be directly on top of the mycelium

It’s just very off from the usual bacteria I see or can find searching online. Also off from the usual metabolites as well

Good Morning, I was hoping that someone would be able to help me. I'm in my first flush and pining has started, however I have, what looks like some contamination occurring, on half of the surface,it looks like green mold, I tried to scoop it all out, but it just keeps coming back, should I salt that whole area, and hope for the best, or do I just let it go for now. Any help from someone with more knowledge then me would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to hearing from someone. Thank-you




My current round with 12 cakes I kept having issues. I took a sharp knife and cut the green out. Took about 1 week till the mycelium took over and fought the contamination. I cleaned the knife with rubbing alcohol prior and always away from my other cakes. Been doing awesome now!

I'm looking for 2nd opinion on growth coexisting with common mushrooms.  In attached picture, the bottom are "common" and the upper right is a growth that I've split open.  To the upper left are growth I haven't split open.  The split growth smells "earthy", doesn't seem to bruise.  The research I've done has me leaning toward "mutant blob", but not certain.
This is from my first harvest and really want to be safe.  Although I've had success, I've also failed in some aspects and have plenty to fix with future cultivating efforts.

Any light to shine on this growth is appreciated.  Thanks.

Ya those just look like mutants/blobs. And it can be rare but one of my most potent PE cultures I ran didn't bruise at all when cut. So it happens. Dry em out and try em out.  Totally safe.

It doesn't look like metabolites, just full blown bacterial contamination.

I’ve heard early pinning is indicative of contamination.

My monotub is starting to pin on one side but it is NOT fully. I don’t see or smell any contamination. After I misted, I could smell a strong mushroom scent.

I’m assuming there might be a bacterial issue somewhere in the tub. Is it possible that the myc will win, in my case? Also, if my monotub fails, can I clone those little side pins?

The picture of my substrate surface might seem dry but in the lower left you can see the little beads of water. I know it’s hard to tell but that’s how my entire top substrate looks (where there is colonization). My surface condition is fucked and I have to mist as needed to get it right or else it looks bone dry. I’m assuming I’m at  80%+ colonization since there’s only a loose thin layer of uncolonized substrate left (you can see the colonized myc through the loose sub)

If the mycelium consumes penicillin and someone consumes the mushroom, will there be penicillin in the mushroom?

Are you adding penicillin to your substrate? Sounds expensive.

The answer to what I think you are asking is, very unlikely. That would be some cool metabolic function though.
