Is this a contam? If so can I save my cakes?
    #23780242 - 10/28/16 02:40 PM (7 years, 3 months ago)

So yesterday I posted some photos (the first one) and asked if my cake was contaminated or simply bruised from my rough handling(I'm a rookie). I was relieved to get a response that said it bruising.

Towards the end of the day I started noticing small white growths on top of my cake which I just assumed were hyphal knots. But this morning when I woke up there were a lot more and they only appeared on the top of the cake where the bruising occurred. Could someone take a look at these pics and let me know if my cakes are contaminated? And if so can I perform an emergency salvage job? Thanks!

There are two that are showing this white buildup on top and I birthed those two 4 days ago. I have three other cakes in there that were birthed two days ago but don't show any signs of this growth. I have them fruiting in a shotgun terrarium in which the rH is consistently between 95-100 and the temp is between 70-73.

Seems fine to me. Just keep an eye on it. They look dry though..

Okay thanks! Is there anything in particular I should keep an eye out for? Also yeah they probably are, I didn't dunk before birthing because this is my first time growing and I didn't wanna mess it up or risk contamination.

Just make sure it's healthy. But as for the dunking you can still do it. I mean it's pretty easy and really hydrates those bastards. And re dunk after each flush. Dry shriveled cakes pretty much suck

Having dry cakes will confaminate much easier than properly hydrated ones. Just saying. Dunk AND roll them bitches.
