Mold or mushroom mycelium?
    #23592476 - 08/30/16 06:03 AM (7 years, 4 months ago)



I just started 5 days ago,does it look suspicious? It's white so I can't really tell from examples on the website.

It's kind of hard to tell, this pic is not the best...

Can you provide more information? Are these BRF cakes you injected with spores or did you spawn something? How did you sterilize and inoculate?

If they are colonizing from spores you should not be exposing them to open air, as they could contaminate easily.

Not exactly the best picture but it doesn't look alarming or abnormal to me.

The top tray looks a bit funky to me but then again photo isn't the greatest like my opinion. I'm new myself. I'm sure if you got a close up of the trays plus some additional information about your grow someone bored enough would give you their take on what you got.

I'm sorry for a poor quality it's the best I can do... That's a photo of the funky one. Yeah, it's seveth day of keeping i a choke bag. Yes Bunji Fungi, theese are the grow kits from Zamnesia. I'll do it myself next time, I signed up to this site only to ask about health of my kits but in the meanwhile I started to read and it's freaking easy to make your own! Any thoughts? It's been a week, no pins but no green/blue/black neither, doesn't have to be bad... or does it?

I would just wait it out and I bet you'll get something. Build a SGFC (shotgun fruiting chamber) or at least poke some holes in the bag so they can breathe. Fresh air is very important!

if you can upload pics to the shroomery that is best. Many of us won't click outside links for our own safety.

I'm glad you are learning and willing to try yourself next time. That's awesome! It's not to hard and you seem smart enough. Keep reading and I bet you'll do alright :smile: Good luck!

A SGFC would be better than a choke bag provided with the kit? Wy would they recommend to fold the bag twice and close it with paper clips if fresh air  is so important?

A SGFC is much better than the bags. Mushrooms are like us, they need to breath. Drill 1/4 inch holes ever 2 inches on all six sides of a clear plastic tote, including the top and bottom. Fill the tub with 4 inches wet rinsed perlite. Elevate so fresh air can come through the bottom holes. Alternatively you could make a monotub,

This is one of the reason we discourage people from using kits; we call it a choke bag for a reason. You might get something but your results will be much more rewarding if you do it right

Ok, I'll do it tomorrow. Poking holes in the bag coud help until I'll make myself one SGFC, right?

Bright white is a good color indicating healthy mycelium.

Look up cobweb mold, which has a darker color than bright white mycelium, it's grayish and more transperent and be sure that's not the case.  Also, mycelium has a more string-like texture while cobweb looks like, well, cobweb.

It's better to get to know common contaminants and be able to tell what is what by yourself than to post on the forum with pics, depending on people's opinion on pictures.
