Is This Cake Done For?
    #26995253 - 10/20/20 07:34 PM (3 years, 3 months ago)

Hope everyone is doing well today.

I have been on the journey of cultivating my own mushrooms and I have come so far along now, I have not reached out for any help or advice up until this point.

I grow cannabis for a living, I work really well with plants, I had a strong sense of confidence going into this mycology venture with the back round I have. I may have been incorrect LOL!

So let me explain and give some details.

I let 2 lbs of grain spawn fully colonize and mixed it up with 5lbs of manure substrate. I left it alone for about 10 days and noticed insanely nice mycelium surfacing to the top. With my research and intuition I decided to place it to fruiting conditions.

Now I did notice some yellow liquid droplets forming on the top of the cake. I honestly thought it was from the manure because after working with this substrate it did tint my gloves yellowing / brownish so I didn't think much of it.

Doing further research some people claim its metabolites, which some people say is of no concern and others would argue its a sign of an infection that the mycelium is trying to fight off.

My fruiting conditions are set up in a martha chamber I have the humidity set to 98% but doesn't go below 95%. I have a fan that turns on every four hours for five minutes. I unzip the bottom of the tent to allow FAE. I also lined the bottom with perlite to retain moisture and catch drips. I use a 12/12 light cycle with a regular bulb.

I understand failure is part of the process but I am more than 2 months into this project and am feeling a little sense of discouragement, I figured I could ask a forum with people that have more experience to maybe get some input.

To really conclude this post, is this cake no good? Should I toss it? Maybe let it ride?

Check out the pics.

And of course thank you guys.

Heres a better shot at the cakes i left the fan running and opened the door all the way. I took paper towels and dabbed the top off a bit. I would agree it seemed pretty moist. I think im gonna let it dry off a little bit more and then just stick it back in the fruiting chamber, i just threw it in the chamber as soon as i took the lid off. Didn't think it would be extremely wet.
