PE Tub Contamination identification
    #27027771 - 11/07/20 11:41 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hi all,

I have a 24qt PE tub that was spawned to fruiting on September 29. I used 2qts spawn and 5qts verm/coir/gypsum substrate with a casing layer of the same substrate...

the first myc appeared through the casing layer on October 6. I can't remember when 100% colonisation was reached but it was a few weeks ago (there is one little corner that hasn't colonised at all).

yesterday the bright white sections appeared. I'm pretty sure it's a contam but I don't know what and don't know whether I should just toss the tub?



does anyone have any thoughts?

PENIS ENVY? I nuked my post, as I'm 2012, shit may have changed since, and what I think maybe PE and fruiting w/o a casing, may not be PE. Hahaha

well, you're not wrong. the old homestead PE didn't need casing but the new SW PE does.

Thanks for the ID everyone...

It's my first PE tub and I've read that to prevent blobs, casings are the way to go. Is blob prevention the only reason for a casing with PE?
