Weird Spawnbag Smell?
    #26976174 - 10/08/20 09:30 PM (3 years, 3 months ago)

We had a 2 lb spawnbag that had been inoculated and started to form some mycellium.  My wife kneaded it and it seemed to stall out completely for several weeks.  I didn't notice any discoloration but there was definitely some condensation in the bag.  I noted a grainy fermented type smell near the bag (and closer to the filter patch) but didn't think too much about it for about a week or two.  Finally, with nothing happening in the bag we finally scrapped it.

But I'm still smelling that grainy, fermented smell three days after throwing out the dead bag.  It wasn't a bad smell, just like the rye berries only a bit more "edgy" fermented (?)

I've had odors linger before but this seems weird. Am I just super sensitized to it now...we don't have any other spawn bags or anything left over.

Yeast or bacteria, or both.  If that was the question :smile:

Why do you still smell it?  I dunno.  I smell grainy brewing smells for days after I make beer.

Have some medicinal mushrooms and want to get the most out of them?  Try this double extraction method.

Yeah it made me think yeast since it isn't a foul odor or anything.  I was just surprised that sufficient smell from it could make it through the filter patch such that it could suffuse the house!
