opinion on brf cakes and a substrate grow * 1
    #25047419 - 03/07/18 09:06 PM (6 years, 23 days ago)

is it normal for a brf cake too look a tiny bit fluffy? does mycelium puff out a little bit as it dries? im a noob and dont exactly have the eye to tell the difference between white mold and mycelium yet.

the cakes look fine. I'd keep an eye on that bulk sub. now quit handling the cakes except to harvest and you'll be good to go :super:

Would say the same. Cakes look good. Bulk substrate is kind of ok, but not totally clear yet. Mold/cobweb is usually considerably fuzzier than healthy cubensis mycelium and it has a light grey color instead of pure white. Take a bright LED flashlight (or any other source of cold bluish bright light) and point it on your substrate. See if you can distinguish greyish fluffy stuff from white dense mycelium. If not, there's probably no problem.
How does your bulk smell like?

And yeah, touching the cakes just to make photos is not necessary. :wink:

the substrate smells ok. i ground up some b plus bfr cakes to make them. its my understanding that anything other than that woody mushroom smell is a bad sign. ill keep my hands off the cakes but i did wash my hands!! it was my understanding that handling a completely colonized cake was okay but i will take your advice. thankyou.
