Black Stains on Mycelium?
    #23428546 - 07/10/16 07:20 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

10 days ago I started fruiting two kits that I bought on the internet, as It was said on the website. As today, the biggest one doesn't seem to have problems and started pinning. Even the smaller one started pinning (strangely like 5 days ago one shroom popped up out of nowhere and since then I began recognizing some really small pins) but It has some strange black stains. Pics relaated.

As you can see in the next photos, the black stains are made of very tiny black spheres


In the next photo you can see the shroom that seems to have failed to grow on the left

Do you think the black stains are contamination?

Even if It's starting to pin? Cause It looks like shrooms are popping up, I thought contamination would stop pinning. But probably I am just really ignorant :smile:

By the looks of it, it is uncolonized substrate. The reason one side didn't colonize that well may be due to an air leak which also explain premature pinning.

Contamination does not stop pinning, if anything it ACCELERATES the action. If the mycelium detect attack, they will start to produce fruit bodies in a last ditch effort to reproduce.

Both are plausible. Take whatever grows out of it. Your current lone mushroom looks wimpy though.

Toss it, it's done. You don't want those spores floating around your house, it could make you very, very sick.

Have to agree but rather than throw it out have you got a garage or something chuck it out of the way and forget it for a few weeks

I agree with this, I think it's just uncolonized sub.

The conditions on top look horrible, that's why your shrooms are dying and the sub isn't pinning. You need to mist whenever it starts to dry, the substrate surface needs to have fine beads of moisture at all times. A verm casing would be very beneficial for something like that. The "supa grow" kits come with a premade and partially colonized verm casing which helps in water retention and pinning.

If it does end up contaminating before the first flush, contact the vendor, they will replace the kit with a new one if they are reputable. If they refuse, make sure to tell them that you will not buy anything else from them should they not replace it.

I bought them from another site actually, It's not a supa kit. Contacting them was what I was going to do. Another question (Thanks to everybody for your willingness!) the instructions told me to put water in the box, fill it, let it stand for 18h and then take the water out and put it in abright place for 6-10 days waiting for the first pins. Now, It looks quite strange to me, but It doesn't mention to moist it in any way. Do you suggest to add a bit of water?

Yes, you still need to mist. That is why your shrooms are drying. Dunking is to give the substrate some water since it uses most of it during colonization. Misting is done for an altogether different reason. Misting is done so the surface is always moist, this will cause evaporation which in turn, is a pinning trigger. Without misting, the pinset will be horrible and the mushrooms will become too dry to grow to maturity.

BTW, remove the vendor's name from your post, that is not allowed. I noticed that it's not a "supa grow" kit, hence why I said what I said.

Not splashes, don't know where you read that. :lol: Use a water mister to cover your substrate with a fine mist of water. Splashing water onto your substrate is an easy way to get pooling water and invite bacteria.

Sorry, not a motherongue :smile: I didn't mean actual splashes, but hits with the water mister.
