Tub got a bit dry, might have gotten contaminated. Cut it out?
    #26614093 - 04/19/20 11:35 PM (3 years, 9 months ago)

Hello there lovely shroomery folks.

Me again w/another possible contam.

This is a tub that I put into fruiting conditions about a week ago, and I am still learning to "dial in" my monos.

I let this one get a bit too dry near the bottom holes, which I have since taped over w/scotch (on top of the micropore tape that was covering). I have a fan pointing away from the tub, and it is incredibly dry in my apartment despite my humidifier so my tub dried out pretty quickly. I have to remember not to untape my mono holes fully right away from now on.

This is a rather large tub, about 80 quarts.

This is a pic of the whole tub from overhead. The surface conditions in the middle are terrific, but as you can see there is some drying near the left and right sides, and the area of concern is a bit lower down from the upper left-hand corner.




The is some slight bluing -- about the colour of bruised mycelium -- in an area where I had to water a lot.

Here is a close-up of that corner.



This is just bruising from over-watering, right?

Here is another close-up of the area concerned.



If you think it _is_ contam, can I just cut that area out?

Thanks so much in advance and I can take more pics, just ask.

Have a great night everybody!

Cutting things out doesn't help, if there is contamination there is more you can't see than what you can.

I'm not experienced enough to say if it's contaminated or not, but I have definitely read enough to know that cutting pieces out of your substrate is just going to make things worse.

Personally I'd wait to see if it gets worse.

Yeah just give it a bottom water down the sides w a syringe and you should get a solid flush. I’m pretty sure I see knotting

I will take some pics of my evolving set-up. I think I'm going to be inundated w/mushrooms soon: I've got three bins (small, med, large) about to fruit and another two  (edit: three not two sry) (small, small, large) that I just spawned a couple days ago.
