Puffy mycelium
    #25920415 - 04/06/19 11:43 PM (4 years, 11 months ago)

Made a mini monotub with some colonized grain. Just a standar CVG substrate prepared using the bucket tek. It grew very quickly but got very dense
I have let it go for a month now just out of morbid curiosity. I know it will not fruit. I am curious if anyone has seen anything similiar or has any idea what could be the cause. I have been having trouble with this specific contamination lately. These white lumps form and begin to bead water. They are surprisingly firm with a very faint sweet smell.

Probably too much water and not enough airflow, did you mist it?

I did mist but only when it dried out. I have a fan going in the room. Thought it was bad FAE so I even cracked the lid.

Could be some kind of bacteria involved as you note the sweet smell too, but usually you'd expect yellowing along with it..No one needs as fan running, dries subs out super quick, just adjust he lid\holes to dial it in

It did start to yellow. Been having this same issue over and over. Might be time for some antibiotic agar.

That happend to me one time with the PF tek! I went with a cheap spore vendor and all of my cakes ended up like that. They still fruited but the mushrooms barely had any magic in them. I can't name the vendor but did you get the spores from the cheap sponsor vendor on here? Don't cheap out when it comes to spores. I learned my lesson.

This makes me mad because I think I know who you got the spores off of? I bet it was b+ wasn't it? I'm going to send you a private message.

I need an answer on this! Same thing happened to me on a Costa Rica cake. Started at the top and kept going. Like you said, it’s super firm and you can peel it off easily but I’d love to know what the hell it is. :eek:

This particular case is mycogone. It's a white mold. It is known as wet bubble because it makes big white bubbles covered in dots that look like water or metabolites.
