Odd growth on blue oyster mycelium
    #26737174 - 06/11/20 04:22 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hi everyone, I've got some blue oyster in the works but as you can see by the pics, theres an unknown growth that has formed. I started this grow from spores inoculated to a pressure sterilized oat mix, then put on pressure sterilized supplemented hard wood pellets. The mycelium took a while to begin forming, but once it formed, it took off. On the log pictured, the grain was transferred to the wood and was pretty much 100% colonized within a week at about 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

Does anyone have any idea what this big growth is? Its pretty stiff and everything smells pretty typical of mushroom mycelium. The part of the log that it is growing on was pretty level before the growth began, so its a good inch and a half - two inches tall. The holes in it that can be seen are filled with little water droplets.

I've got those before.  Can't tell you what the hell it is, but I don't think the block every produced anything worthwhile.  I'm guessing some type of infection.  I would toss it.

Or you could see what it does, I don't think it's contagious to other blocks easily or anything.  It didn't take over my grow room.

Not that this made a difference in what you got there. But you should not have cut the bag off. You should have made a slice from corner to corner on the bottom of the bag. The bottom of the bag is the place where the sub is the tightest against the bag. When you slice try not to lift the bag. You want just where you slice to be exposed to air.

Gotcha. I saw that bump forming and thought maybe it could be interesting to see what would happen if i exposed the whole top. Maybe this growth is the consequence of that..

No, I think it is an infection.  Mine grew on a reishi block if I remember correctly.

What forrester said, an infection. I've recently saw similar symptoms on lions mane pins, turned out to be bacteria or yeast infections. The "water droplets" are metabolites that weep out of the fruiting bodies in response to the infection.
The mycelium grew just fine but when it fruited the pins quickly aborted. Shit sucks, lost about 16 liters of substrate.
