i have battled lipstick over and over... and no they won't fruit.

do they have kind of a pinkish - purple tint to the cakes?

when you took them out of the jar did they smell like a basement? If so it's a wasted attempt to cultivate. I cased mine, and nothing but more and more contams.

Sure. They'll fruit from the healthy areas, not the molded areas. I'd still bury them cakes if I were you.

thanks for the input mate.

in answer, no i didn't notice any foul odour when i birthed the cakes. although i didn't especially sniff them as i thought bad smells were associated with bacteria and not molds....

i've experienced wet-spot as well in incubating jars (contams are totally breaking my balls i can tell ya), and i couldn't help but notiice the sour smell coming off them.

the cakes have an orange tint in some of the areas where they were contam'd but then colonised. i've read this is characteristic of the last growth stage of lipstick mold. no further myc growth is occuring in these areas, but where it is absent seems to be continuing to grow, but not pin. is this similar to your experiences?

cheers

YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
got home from uni today and checked out my cakes, was dissapointed at the fact that what i thought were primordia were joining together and just making big mounds of fluffy myc with no fruits.

so i picked up the cakes (i know i shouldn't) and realised that 3 of 4 had a few pins growing on them. the problem is that the pins are growing on the very bottom of the cake, not the side or bottom corner but completely underneath the weight of the cake.

do u think i should flip the cakes upside-down? there is absolutely no sign of pins on the top

do u think the fact that they are growing on the bottom and the large amounts of fluffy white myc is a sign that my humidity is too high?

thanks to all those who have offered there time and advice  :thumbup:, these are my first pins so i'm quite psyched.

With cakes you can't have too much humidity, you want 98-100%. I also wouldn't flip them. The mushroom on the bottom will be fine and grow right out and flipping could damage primordia on the top that might be trying to pin.

i thought that was the case, thanks.

i ended up flipping them last night because it was the bottom area that was originally contam'd, the top was untouched by mould. so yeh, i figured it would be for the best.

cheers

Re: Lipstick mold recovery and attempt to fruit - PICS!! [Re: soma_seeker]
    #5904341 - 07/27/06 03:26 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

hi people, woke up this morning and the fourth cake had begun to pin.

Just took a couple of shots that i thought might interest some.









So what do you think, should i expect some of these to fully mature, or difficult to tell?  Is it normal that some of the pins look like fat globs at the base?

The two large ones are the oldest at 4 days, i'm expecting slow growth due to the significantly colder than optimal temps where i live right now.

Thanks again for ur time and advice  :thumbup:

cheers oatman

a couple have fully matured and i was planning on taking a spore print tonight. i figured this could be good or bad, either the strain may have become more resistent to lipstick mold or i'll collect a shitload of mold spores with it.

i think i might take the risk, things have worked out so far.

here's a pic of what all 4 cakes looked like 2 days after inoculation, i think you'll be convinced they were contam'd  :wink:

G'day people,

harvested the 4 cakes this morning to get a neat 60g wet. I've read that shrooms are 90% water, so can i expect a dry mass of about 6g after a week in my desiccant chamber?

the cakes are in dunking for 12 hrs now, after which time i plan to recase and roll and back into the FC for hopefully another flush. I'm a bit pesimistic about them fruiting again, i'm just happy they managed to once.

three of the four cakes produced (typical?) KSSS fruits that were really short and fat, the fourth however i thought looked pretty cool.





Thanks again all

g'day people,

i doubt anyone is interested but i thought i'd make a quick post to update on these cakes.

The four of them have each had 3 succesful flushes of varying yield, the avg of which i guess would be about 20g each. They are back in my FC and 1 has started pinning again. I dunked each of them for 12hrs between flushes.

Also, i have another 7 cakes in my FC at the moment on their 2nd flush and only 1 has ever shown a slight pink spot of lipstick, which i removed and it didnt grow back.

the top two on the left and the two on the right are the four cakes in question.






take it easy people

Told ya.  :gethigh:

This is a Neurospora strain more than likely. Lipstick can easily be indentified because of the various shades of colors associated with it. Neurospora will maintain a consistant shade throughout it's life for the most part. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/files/06-24/069284222-contam.jpg

Well, i'm glad you managed to get something out of it. Now thoroughly clean your house. lol

Actually, I am really glad you kept us posted...I have been following this for a while. I've seen a number of posts that started like yours, but never got any more updates. I will more people would keep us updated. When the posting stops, it seems that some guy is outside in his backyard, quietly burying cakes.

Congrats on your successful triumph! Let us know what the effects of the mushies were---ie tummy problems, good/bad trip, etc I would be interested to see if everything 'worked out' But in any case, congratulations...

thanks speeddealer, good to know someone is interested.

As for the trip, i have sampled the fruits off these cakes several times now as well as offering them to at least a half dozen of my friends.

The average dose we each had was either a dry gramme or about 8g wet. I realise this isn't really that much but it was enough to give the experienced trippers amongst us a level 2 trip each time and unfortunately reduced 1 of my friends to a quivering heap - hiding in the corner because he thought he could predict the future and was terrified by the fact he knew what the rest of us were going to say and do before we did it (plan on being a lot more careful when offering them to my friends from now on).

But yeh the shrooms weren't big by anyone's standards so i think their potency was quite good. As for stomach problems, 1 of my friends had slight nausea but he gets it every time with shrooms so i didnt take that as any kind of negative sign. I used to get nausea quite frequently as well, but havent noticed it once lately (touch-wood).

In answer, i consider it a complete success. My psychic friend also dropped by the next day to let us know he was ok and congrat'd me on producing a potent crop.

Have a good one

Glad it worked out for you.  :thumbup: The reason I still recommend against trying to save such projects is for the contaminant spore load that is released into your house.  The spores for that mold were already in your environment, but keeping the project going likely released many more, which could impact future grows.  There's no danger from eating the fruits.
