Is this cobweb?
    #25157677 - 04/22/18 12:49 PM (6 years, 8 months ago)

This one started pinning a week ago but it was only aobut 80-90% colonized. What I'm worried about is that fuzzy part on the dry verm layer. It looks like it's actually coming from the mycelium if you look at the second pic. It smells like fruity pebbles. This one has also grown a pretty long mushroom while its been in the jar and it looks fine.

It will probably turn black or green soon watch it and get it away from the healthy ones

Should I birth it or keep it in there?

Did you wipe the moisture off of the lip of the jar before putting your barrier verm on top?

Birth it and quarantine it, I had some do that and it eventually turned brown/black

Yes I did. It's confusing me because if you look at the second picture, it looks like the mycelium or whatever it is actually reaches through the dry verm layer to make that fuzzy stuff on the top. I'm pretty sure the only thing that I did wrong was add a little to much water to the substrate.

How would I go about doing this? I just wouldn't want to inhale some nasty shit.

If the mycelium has a firm hold of the substrate, and it looks like it does, you should probably just birth it to your fruiting chamber. Make sure you wash that top verm off and the suspicious looking growth off very well. When you wash it off you will get a better idea of what it is. I’ve never heard of something with that type of appearance being a high risk contagion. It’s mostly black mold and the really creepy looming stuff. I throw the top verm barrier and the jars out immediately after I’m done birthing the cake, before I even started soaking them for the night! If I were you, I’d wear rubber gloves when birthing and wash hands with rubbing alcohol after you touch anything or move onto any next step. I always do that anyways and it’s worked well for me

Btw I never opened my jars until everything was completely sterile and ready to birth so now that you do have them open I would birth asap

Good luck!

You said to birth it to my FC but also keep it away from the healthy cakes. Does that mean keeping it in a separate FC, or just stitting far away from the other cakes in the same FC? Thanks for the help btw!

Philosophymajor was saying to birth and quarantine it which would definitely be the safer route if you have a second fruiting chamber available. I’d probably cut the top 1/4 of the cake off with a sterile knife and just birth it upside down with the rest of your cakes. I’ve read that once the mycelium has a firm hold of the substrate it’s very hard to contaminate it. If that’s true, your other cakes should hopefully be unaffected in the same chamber. The species will largely affect its contam resistance
