This is my first grow and I followed the brf pf tek as suggested. Yesterday I birthed 9 babies who were looking good and plenty consolidated. Pulling them out of their bath today I noticed just 1 single cake has a bit of bluish/green discoloring (top pic, bottom is other side). I didn't notice until I already had my hands dirty rolling them in verm, so I asked my SO to take a picture of it and this is what I have... I went ahead and rolled it as well but need to know if I should pull it. Thank you!

Looks like bruising, possibly too dry. Could use a good water dunk. :thumbup:

Hi brand new here and just starting out down this rabbit hole. For some context I've started two all in one grow bags, the bags are uncle myc's and I used a liquid culture from a local headshop, they seem to be popping up more around me. First bag was inoculated 12/18 last month with P7 and the other bag a week later with cam. Tried to take all necessary precautions, temp is cooler than I'd like (71-73 during the day, 69/70 at night) but until yesterday I've noticed zero mycelium growth and seemed to be going extremely slow. Some condensation in the bag I'm starting to see early signs of...something, but there's two tiny greenish specs as well so I'm worried it's contaminated. Other bag still showing zip.
Wanted to include a picture to get some opinions. I'll try to do my best with quality to see if it's even visible through pictures but thanks in advance.

Sorry I don't know all the terminology and I'm a first time grower so forgive me if this seems confusing. I've been following the EvilMushroom666 Tek with the exception of the glovebox and fanning.  I birthed my Golden Teacher cakes on New Years Day and soaked them for 25 hours, rolled them in vermiculite, set up the box etc, etc. Everything's been good until today and now they look a little blue on top?? The stringy part has just come in today too but I'm a little concerned about the blue. Is this penicillum? Is my box fubar or am I overreacting?

Yeah those are not looking good. The blue-green growth looks like trich, but its a bit hard to tell from the photos. Trich spores look like greenish powder while bruising looks like blue-green ink stains. and the cotton is cobweb mold.

It's really hard to get contamination on BRF cakes so early. I am not experienced, but I got no contamination on my first 20 cakes, so I really think that you should post exactly your procedure. Did you follow the PF Tek exactly as written? How did you prepare your cakes? Water ratio? If those cakes are toast, you have to determine where things went wrong. Keep in mind that I am not the one to give you the answers, but almost everyone else here is capable of helping you if you give us all the info.

one of those cakes is for sure FUBAR.  the other one is looking suspect due to the same discoloration of the FUBAR cake.

Hate to ask, started bag on 11/17 it’s my first time and the hint of gray has me worried? I just opened it up and see I have pins starting.  Just wanna be proactive and hit it with h202 if needed.

My first adventure thanks for all the great info here.

I made my jars with two parts vermiculite, 1 part water, and one part brown rice flour then I put a vermiculite layer on top. I sterilized the jars for two hours in a pot but I don't have a pressure cooker so I skipped that. I wiped everything down with alcohol during inoculation and used a lighter to sterilize the needle. I let it colonize for 6-7 weeks. On January 1 I dunked the cakes in water for about 26 hours (I forgot about them). After rolling it vermiculite, I cut it with a knife and put it in a shot gun fruiting chamber with perlite at the bottom. I'm thinking maybe I didn't let it colonize for long enough? My other jar wasn't even close to being ready.

Any grey mycelium is a bad sign of mold growth. Hydrogen Peroxide isnt going to help much since the grey mold all over your substrate.

Does this mean  to toss it all? see a lot of pins coming in. Or does this mean get what you can and get out?

Is separating the large healthy whiter patch an option?

The entire bag is full and bricked in white roots and some small white dots. Only smell mushroom.

A littler better photo, but I was a little optimistic it was too much surface water from evaporation when I opened the bag.  I let them breath again tonight and a lot of growth in one section at least.

I really appreciate any help offered.

With the lack of moldy smell and all of those pins, perhaps its not grey mold. Maybe its just the lighting in the photo :strokebeard:

Definitely continue fruiting.

You were right! The gray has mostly turned to white, wondering if I maybe opened a smidge early.  Does young mycelium look gray sometimes when wet and thin ?

Looking pretty good now I think.

It still looks grey on the outer edges. Still concerning but your pins are coming in well thou. Seems to be OK.

Yeah, mycelium can look a bit "ghostly" when its thin and wet. Theres even transparent mycelium but its pretty rare.

Hi everyone :smile:

I'm a beginner in mushroom growing then I have one question.

I bought a kit of mc kennai. I did the first flush everything was ok, I have collected my mushrooms.

I did the same process for a second flush like three weeks ago. Mushrooms started to grow, I have collected some much bigger than thé others but since three days they don't grow anymore and there is like a white layer on thé heads.

Do you know what it is ? Is it normal or is it contamination ? Can I collect them and eat them without any risk, is it safe ?

What are your advices ?

Thank you !!

This is my second attempt at growing Golden Teacher spores in a sterlised bag bought from a specialist. I’m very careful with the prep environment and keeping things sterile. The first bag didn’t make any progress at all for 8 weeks and I abandoned it. The second bag in the pictures has developed blue-green areas of activity after about a month. I’m not sure if it’s mould or some other phenomenon. It has been stored at between 21C and 26C. Moving it from a dark place to somewhere with some sunlight has accelerated growth.

Time to scrap it, or carry on?



?

Yes, it has only mold and bacteria, I would let it go.

You are likely injecting something dirty into this bag, which is why it's not working.

The only use for a dirty syringe is pftek or agar.
