Mold or myc? New grower needs help.
    #25622193 - 11/18/18 12:44 AM (6 years, 1 month ago)

Hi friends,

New-ish grower. First time doing it solo. Used the mushrooms grower’s bible tek.
Brown rice flour, half pint jars, using a home made shadow box. Jars didn’t take for the first week or so, upped the
temp in the room to 79 or so, and got good growth. 7/9 jars fully colonized and I
dunked the cakes today, but noticed some suspicious cottony-white growth on
a few cakes. Wanted to know if y’all think this is early mold or just mycelium?

There is maybe some slight discoloration based on the photo but I am remembering
It being all white.

Curious to know what you all think, thanks!

Its myc my man, the yellowing is normal if things get a bit dried out. Looks healthy to me otherwise. Small fluffy myc balls, like what yours has are fine. It's the thick cottage cheese growths that are always suspect.

I don't know what a shadow box etc. etc. is, but what you have there looks like very good/healthy mycelium. The one thing I would recommend is - learn and stick to the teks that are available (and encouraged, for good reason) on this site.

This way you can be assured that many other people are doing the same experiment that you are. If you run into problems, there are others who have already been there - this way they can straighten you out should anything go south. Good luck.

Ahh, thanks so much guys! Appreciate the quick response. Needing lots of re-assurance as I am still quite new to this, but glad to know everything looks healthy.
