Thanks Coastal,

I'm getting conflicting messages.  A guy from the Woodlover's thread said they were snail or slug eggs.  The nearest soil and vegetation is four stories down. How did a snail or slug get into the tub? Did it actually crawl up the side of a four story building on the hunch that there was a tub of wood chips on my deck?  Amazing!

I removed and pitched a few egg-laden chips.  Then I used a spoon to scoop out the other visible eggs.  When the spoon contacted the eggs and I applied pressure, the eggs dissolved into cream-colored, runny, puss-like goo.  I scooped it out.

Perhaps that delectable description will assist in positively identifying the culprit.

Looks like insect eggs or something. I wouldn't bug out over it.

A week after scooping them out, there is no sign of the inscrutable, mutant pus-eggs or their devil spawn.  Hooray!

Well, it's been over a year since I attempted this outdoor grow.  There are still no signs of colonization on the surface.  Today, I gently dug into the chips, looking for colonization.  Nothing.  I dug into several other areas of the tub.  I couldn't find any colonization.  Hell, I couldn't find any mycelium!  Nada.  Zero.  Zilch.

Damn!

The deck of a four-story building in SF is simply too cold and windy to promote colonization.  The temperature rarely gets above 68 degrees during the day and at night it drops to the high 40's. 

Sustained winds of 20 mph are common.  The wind continuously dries the chips, necessitating frequent watering.  The incessant watering certainly flushed some of the mycelium out of the drain holes in the bottom of the tub.  The rest simply couldn't survive and thrive.

I should have left the tub indoors in my toasty 78 degree "mush-room" until the chips were thoroughly colonized.  Only then should I have moved the tub out onto the chilly deck for fruiting. Lesson learned.

Fortunately, I have a slant of cyanescens awaiting my next attempt, which won't be any time soon. 

Thanks for playing along.
