Green Mold in Fruiting Chamber
    #26813875 - 07/09/20 10:05 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

I don't check the chamber every day. I found one cake completely covered with green mold. I tossed it and a few cakes near it. I rinsed out the chamber with water. Is it safe to continue fruiting or should I throw out what I have, bleach out the chamber and start over? I have four cakes left and five ready to birth. Thank you.

Wouldnt be a bad idea to rinse out your FC with bleach water but Im afraid your cakes are the issue.

this is very problematic.
you have to be scorched earth on contam elimination.
in my lab any sign of enemy molds is eliminated on sight.

the problem is after a point the residue mold in the lab inhibits all future grows.
fall back, accept the loss, double down on lab bio control.

Your contam is almost certainly Trichoderma. It is spread primarily through the air when it
shows up on grain or cakes. If you case a bulk sub with peat or coir it can be introduced that way (but this is not what happened to you).
Trich loves stale air, maybe this is something you can look into?
Good advice from the 2 above posts ^ ^.

Clean the tub with hot water and soap or a bleach/water mixture. 👍 You’ll be fine using the tub again.

I removed all the remaining cakes to an outside area. They'll flourish or not. I decontaminated the chamber. Soaking new healthy cakes. Should be good going forward. Will air once a day.

I really wouldn't toss any other cakes that's a little extreme.

There are mold spores constantly in the air, landing on cakes and tubs. Once colonized the myc takes care of itself pretty well. You can get a high spore load if you let certain bad things flourish too often and that can start to leak into your grows but throwing away cakes that were near a contaminated one if just pointless in my opinion.
