Possible contamination? Help a newbie out...
    #26576260 - 04/03/20 09:49 PM (3 years, 10 months ago)



This is my first time growing mushrooms and I started from a baseline knowledge of zero. I've been learning along the way, so the setup I've ended up with is two big blocks of colonized rye grain and substrate in a glass fish tank covered with plastic, with soaked perlite on the bottom. I've had them in fruiting conditions for a week, but all that have grown are these big white balls sticking out from the surface. A couple days ago I increased the amount I'm fanning them but nothing has changed. I picked one of the balls and a bunch of water came out like a sponge. There is also a sour smell that's becoming stronger, so I think I have bacterial contamination. Is there anything I can do at this point? I'm not going to throw anything away since I want to keep learning till the end, but is it possible to get any fruit at this point?

There’s not any FAE it needs air! And it does sound like contam. If it smells like anything other than fresh mushrooms you want to toss it before it starts producing spores. If that happens you’re fucked, I let that happen at my last apartment and never got a clean culture/jar again no matter how clean and sterile I was. IMO I would toss I know that it sucks but don’t risk every grow from here on out!!! I need more info on your prep of the spawn/inoculate/pc times to help ya. I recommend following the teks in this link bod has got me through every part of this process with decent success. These are also the most simple teks other than the PF brf teks.

That cake doesn't look bad. Did you dunk? You should've rolled it.
What is your fruiting chamber setup. The only thing wrong is it needs
better free air exchange before it overlays.
