White fluff on cakes, is this contamination?
    #26456097 - 01/27/20 10:28 PM (4 years, 2 days ago)

These cakes colonised well, however they hve been sitting in the fruting chamber for about 4 weeks with no mushrooms to show for it. The started to grow white fluff around them since 1 week ago. Can someone tell me what this lohuoks like, contamination?

4 weeks is a long time to not see any pins.  What variety is the cake?

What kind of fruiting chamber you have? Do u have a source of light? How often are u misting?

The white fluffy stuff looks like mycelium to me, but 4 weeks in the chamber with no fruits is definitely an issue.

I've lost track, but the species is either Texas PE6 Cubensis, or Cambodian Cubensis

It's a classic shotgun fruiting chamber, with indoor natural light source (I have had successful harvests growing in the same spot before). I mist 3 times a day, however I usually spray inside the chamber, including on top of the cakes. I heard recently you should not spray ont he cakes, as it can cause bacteria/contams. Is that true?

Well, you should only mist when needed. Also, don't over mist your cakes or you can develop infections and such. You want your cakes moist not wet. Its important to keep it balanced with moisture, not overly dry or overly wet.
