Do these tubs look ok?
    #26632885 - 04/27/20 07:51 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

These are my 4th and 5th tubs. The first three went great, same methods, same recipe (6 jars rye spawn (golden teachers) and 1.5 bricks of coir) , but these look different. I didn't case the top with extra coir on these two, that's the only difference. You'll see in the second picture there's two round knot like growths. And the first the mycelium is very fluffy and growing up the sides of the liner.

I see bacteria in both tubs. The top layer wouldn't be the difference in bacteria or not it would be the spawn.

Yeah they both look a little contaminated but might still work out.
Did you have the holes taped over first on these then did the whole
birthing thing and stuffed with polyfill later?

Contaminated with bacteria only or something else too? Yea, taped the holes then stuffed with polyfill. Both were very quick to colonize but the spawn definitely could have had a bac infection. I've been battling it for a while now.

It's hard to tell if it's anything else unless it turns green or something.
The thick fuzzy overlay of mycelium you're getting is
from leaving the tubs taped with no FAE for too long. That bottom
pic you'll wanna remove that tape and stuff those holes. This is
why it's just better to mix and put your tubs right into fruiting
conditions immediately. Colonizing and "birthing" tubs isn't a
Neccessary step.

In the bottom pics those thick lumpy spots are mycelium blobbing
and mutating from contamination. You can see the yellow metabolite
liquid in them from it too. FAE will help against that a little also.

Thanks a ton for the help.

Update

I added a fan to the room which helped with Fae. I don't run it 24/7 as the tubs dry out too quickly.

The tubs still have this thick mat like mycelium? on top. A friend said it looks like mycogone. They have a very very faint smell that I cannot describe. Definitely wouldn't say it's a bad smell. You can see the one with the big yellow growths also has small white spikes growing in clusters.

Any ideas? Bacteria infection? Any way to coax them into a flush or should they be tossed?

Hmmm damn that myce is thick and lumpy. This may just all be from too much
of a bacterial contamination it just can't win at it. Probably has a sort
of sweet n sour smell to it I'm guessing. I don't wanna say they're not
gonna work and I don't wanna tell ya they will either lol They got holes,
surface conditions, FAE, lights....it's a bummer. Let's wait for someone
else to share some head space here and see

I have had a few tubs like that. Increase the FAE dramatically and you will either start to see knotting or your mold will pop up and show it self.

Update

I put the tubs outside under cover where they're getting tons of fae. Those spikes I saw before are actually pins. They're growing on the plastic liner and sides on the tub.

I have a theory and feel free to shut it down if I'm out in left park.

The mycelium looks very much like the mycelium of my oyster mushrooms I grow. I mix my oyster mushroom substrate and spawn in the same cooler I pasteurize and mix my coir. Is it possible some oyster mycelium made it past the pasteurization of my cubensis coir and took over these tubs? Or do these just look like clusters of cubensis doing weird things because they are stressed out due to a bacterial infection?

What type are they??

I just spawned my first pearl oysters the other day. The myc is so aggressive it’s crazy. My plate of it filled the whole thing then grew up and over the lid to the outside.

Well damn, that's some hardy mycelium. They're blue oysters. Well I guess I can always dump these tubs in a straw bed and see what happens.
