reishi myc smell?
    #23730805 - 10/12/16 10:41 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)

This is my first go at reishi and i spawned oats to alder about 3 days ago and it's starting to pick up. As it's my first time, i'm pretty unsure of how the tub should smell and how it smells is very hard to put my finger on. Its almost like a lightly sweet, cooked noodle/pasta smell? It's not very strong but is definitely a very unique smell. does this sound like bacteria is the culprit or does reishi has a sort of sweet, "grass-ish", wheat pasta smell? Idk it's really hard to describe other than a mix of very light smells of sweet grassy-ness, and somewhat like pasta when you boil it.

Heres pictures (3 days after spawning), sorry that they're not the best and thanks for any feedback! :sun:

I think you're smelling your substrate mix. Reishi has a very unique smell. It smells literally like earth and mushrooms. A healthy clean mushroom smell. If you had bacteria more than likely you would know. Anaerobic bacteria smells horrid and rancid.

Everything in those pics looks fine.

Give it time and be patient. Once you are almost fully colonized give it another smell and you will then know what healthy mycelium smells like. However not all mycelium smells like reishi. Some strains smell different but they all have that same clean healthy earthy smell.

Reishi myc smells very strange to me, like mushrooms but different is the vague-ass way I'm going to describe it.

It will fill your entire grow room with the smell.

well, pretty sure it's a goner :shrug: gonna toss it. think i see some trich/mold about to blow up on it (last two pics) and it's still not colonized after about 8 days.  Heres pictures of an agar plate i made when i put it to grain. The culture i got was called yellow reishi but idk, the plate looks pretty suspect to me. Anyways thats for the replies everyone, failed first go, gonna get another culture eventually and then try again. :bonghit2:
