Mold? Mycelium? Damn noobs (me)!
    #26377662 - 12/12/19 04:44 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

Hello! I'm on my first grow and I have 3 jars in vitro? And 2 shoeboxes. Question: I  plucked 30 g wet from my 3 jars, dunked them for 24 hrs and put them back in the jars. I forgot to put a dry layer of verm and now its white and fuzzy on the top. Is this mold? Do I need to get rid of these cakes?

Second question, my shoeboxes are showing a yellow/brown areas, I seen something about this recently but through searching I can't find it.  I think it was too dry?



Thanks for feedback o wise ones!

Looks like you have a little too little humidity for the tub. It's on the dry side, and looks a little like no air movement getting to it.

How thick is your substrate in the tub if its real thin it will dry out fast and you gotta mist more heavily and be sure to mist the surface itself until glistening with moisture post a side view pic pls.

Some stark discoloration in the boxes. I suspect contamination.

Real stupid noob question, but what exactly are the negatives of contam? Like can OP still harvest those mushrooms in the photos after discovering contam? Does it ruin the mushrooms or does it just limit the crop? I keep reading about all the different types, but not necessarily about what harm they do

I think the idea is that the mushrooms will concentrade toxins from the contams, esspecially if its trich it can be unhealthy. I highly doubt it will kill you or anything, but it make sense to produce clean healthy fruits .

Its like smoking moldy weed, it prob wont hurt you, but it can, and its not healthy or ideal.

Looks fine to me.

mist it to create adequete surface moisture conditions ( tiny beaded droplets over the sub surface)

And make sure there is plenty of FAE.
