OK...what IS this??
    #26575428 - 04/03/20 03:33 PM (3 years, 9 months ago)

Nine days ago I spawned three quarts of spawn (from agar) to three shoe boxes and covered them with their lids.  Today I removed the lids and dub-tubbed them. Two look good, one already has a few pins, but one of them is strikingly different with "growths" all over that look like popcorn or little cauliflowers.  Researching I found several similar pics but no real consensus over what they actually are.

Here's the first tub, totally happy with this one...a few pins already:


Here's a close-up from the second tub:


And another close-up.  This growth is about 3/4" across-


This one hasn't colonized as fast as the others but the smell is normal, color seems normal...what are these?

All three are WBS noc'd with agar (three transfers) spawned to CVG, roughly 2:1, no casing.

For the time being I've segregated that tub until I know better if it's worth keeping.  Any help here is much appreciated.

I Think The "Popcorn Growths" In The 2nd & 3rd Picture Is More Of A Genetic Thing Than A Contamination Thing.

However, If I'm Correct The Trays With These Formations Won't Produce As Many Fruits As The Others.

Penis envy variety? They are the only type known to create weird blob type mycelium during pinning phase.

Thanks..they're so strange!  It's odd- all three came from the same original agar plate though maybe different sectors. 
If this one is likely a dud, so be it- I'm up to my neck in mushrooms (good problem to have) and I have a dozen plates of clones that'll be ready for mason jars very soon.

Damn, I knew I forgot something.  No, these are B+!  The agar I used was originally from a colonized grain from a jar that spawned and grew one ounce dry of very typical, nice mushrooms.  Originally that grain came from a MSS but everything so far is very typical of standard cubes.

Bacterial spawn can throw out blobs as well.
