Looks like 'metabolites' to me.

Incubation is completely unnecessary. You're asking for contamination with those high temps.

Take the foil off, I've made the same mistake, it restricts GE (Gas Exchange)

Do you not have lids with 4 holes as well and a layer of verm on top? Or are these not BRF cakes?

I hate when people refer to metabolites as "myc piss". Mycelium doesnt piss or shit for that matter.
What temperature is it in the room that you store your TiT? Seems pointless to use ANY incubator especially if your room is a comfortable room temp.

Then really no need for the foil. The verm has you protected.

65-75 F is acceptable grow temp. From what I understand, any thing over 75 f encourages bacteria growth.

Most people encourage heating the room not the grow.

Good luck!!

Keep the towel off, myc likes light. Colonizing in the dark is an outdated idea.

Incubators are unnecesary, they like room temp.

If it were me I would get a space heater in the room that has a thermostat and shuts off when set to something like 72 degrees (22C). Use a SGFC for the birthed cakes and your set.:thumbup:

Pretty sure this term "piss" is a way for people without the correct information to say that it's "OK" without understanding what's happening. I also think this term originates from Reddit, which is really just a den of mostly poorly informed people acting like gurus. People will post the nastiest pictures there and get responses "just myc piss, it's fine." Like, no dude, that indicates bacteria.

Anyways!

To everyone confused with the foil: These are glasses, not jars. There's no lid. The foil is the lid. I bet the OP is from the UK or somewhere else where jars mason jars aren't common like they are in the US. It works, but it's not the best option. In this case the OP DOES NEED THE FOIL.

Good luck OP. Looks like you have a bit of bacteria in your cakes. Should still get a flush, maybe two, if you birth it.

This is true. RR has stated that mycelium need light radiation in all stages of growth.

OP you can just leave your jars on a shelf in a room temperature room and they will colonize better than in that tub with foil and a towel

Sigh...

OP, please don't remove the foil if these are glasses and not mason jars with proper lids.

Do remove the towel and give it proper light though.

Appreciate the agreement straight mush, but if Shaper's guess(above) is right about a european with out lids, the foil may be necessary in this case.

Here's a tek explaining how to do it the way the OP likely did with a glass and foil so we all can share in the awe: http://www.fungifun.org/English/Pftek

EDIT: Dear god that tek is horrible, no one follow it. Just use it for pics of what the OP likely did.
