Is this contam? Or overstressed mycelium?
    #26819409 - 07/12/20 01:09 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hi Im still new to mushroom cultivation, i recently started a greenhouse grow and have been having more trouble keeping a steady temp and humidity compared to a container grow. I just entered the fruiting stage about 2 days ago and i have noticed theres bits of yellow on top of the mycelium growing through the manure, yesterday my temp was at 91* F and it seemed to have dried out the cakes significantly, i have been spraying them and paying much closer attention to the temp and humidity, I'm wondering if they’ll recover. Also the two links below are the same images, im accessing this from my phone and the format is a bit confusing. Thanks!!!

You can upload photos to shroomery from the "pics" link under your user name.

91f is hotter than usual. I feel like high 60s to low 80s is ideal. It'll probably work, but it's also going to create ideal conditions for bacteria.

I didn't see anything looks like a deal breaker, but there are much more knowledgeable folks who may see something I don't.

Awesome, Thank you! I just got a Inkbird heat temperature controller in hopes it will help control the heat better, i have it set to a minimum of 76* F and a max of 81* F and it seems to be pretty steady so far,  i had read online its the best fruiting temp for golden teachers.

My best harvests have always included temp fluctuations. I once left a window open and when I came back the temp had dropped to upper 50s. Got everything back to mid 70s and within 4 days had my most prolific harvest.

That's just my experience, and it's hard to nail down any specific variable as a cause, but feel that temp swings are better than steady temps.

Thats good to hear, mines somewhat the opposite lol ive forgot to leave my AC on a timer when i was out of town for a few days and came back to 91*F on the hygrometer. ive only had 2 harvests so far, i began substrate jars then moved onto spawn bags as i wanted to increase my yield. I assumed a temp fluctuation wouldnt destroy them as in nature the temp is rarely steady. Im hoping they will take off in the next few days,  this will be my largest grow yet. Thank you again!
