Brown color wiping off caps? * 1
    #26640884 - 05/01/20 09:41 AM (3 years, 9 months ago)

Hey guys, probably a stupid question. On me first grow. Doing PF and a monotub- used 3 different strains- B+, GT and "Brazil".

Here's the latest harvest- on second flush of some of the BRF cakes.



This is the first time I've noticed those really dark capped ones on the bottom of the pic. I haven't been keeping track of what strain is what.. but I am assuming the tops are GTs?

Anyway, when I wipe the fresh GT caps with a paper towel, there is nothing on the paper towel except any verm I'm wiping off... but when I wipe those really dark brown ones.. the paper towel is stained brown afterwards.. am I being paranoid, is that just common for some dark color caps? Or is it indicative of a problem? thanks!

Maybe spores although they are typically Dark black could be reside from rising above a casing if you had one

Pretty sure you are wiping off their external layer.

don't think it's spores, no spores above the caps, and I harvest a while before drop.

here's a pic of a paper towel after gently wiping one of the darker ones


and a pic of a paper towel after gently wiping one of the lighter ones

Some shrooms I grow are really slimy on the cap. Other times they are slippery. Its weird.
