That moment you realize mycology is more art than science, but That art is also mostly science.

My exact sentiment!  I do a fair amount of tech tinkering and wanted a more.... Organic hobby lol.  And yea the end result is just cats tits for real

I'll post a new picture of my fruiting chamber when I get home from work, I have one cake that's looking a little suspect at the waterline of my little tinfoil boats, looks like a slime of some kind.  I may try to cut it away from the rest of the cake or rinse it off or something but Idk yet.

Picture update, fruiting chamber *mostly* fixed now, getting more perlite Friday when I get paid and finishing the job.



So, after setting up the boats and all that jazz, I came back to mist and noticed that snot looking funk at the waterline.  It wasn't there when I took the cakes out to rebuild the FC.

How do they look now? I would've recommended waiting to see if it clears up, put it in the correct fc with no water at the bottom. Or if nervous it may contam your other cakes put it aside in open air or something for a few hours, wont hurt it.

but  yea, how's it looking now?

It's just waterlogged as hell and showing tabs. Your not supposed to bottom water until the pinset is in and growing. That's when the extra water is needed, otherwise it just sits there saturating the substrate. Waterlogging the sub will actually inhibit pinning.

Thanks for clearing things up Pasty, I had though it was probably something caused from leaving them in water, honestly doesn't look that bad to me just looks kinda wet and water logged like you said.

OP be sure when you use that saucer method, which you can use and it does help when needed, That you only do it for around 6-12 hours max, then take it out. Don't leave it in there the whole time. Only do it when you know your cake has little to no water.

also, like pasty said, only bottom water with a saucer after all or most pins have formed and are about an inch or two big.(thats what i do, at least) and i cut back on misting, when i do this.

also, if i notice that the cake isnt absorbing much of the water, i will take it out of there, and just not bottom water it for that flush.
