Possible contamination on BRF cake?
    #27046555 - 11/18/20 10:29 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

I birthed this cake a week ago and this white bump showed up today. I'm wondering what it could be. It's a BRF cake that was 100% colonized on nov 5th and birthed on nov 12.
Any help is much appreciated.
Mush Love!

It doesn't look like mold.  But it looks like you may have introduced the cake into fruiting conditions early and the mycelium looks to have slowed growth.  It also looks a little dry.  I would up the humidity and sit and wait.  I've had all sorts of weird growth. Black, green, yellow, orange.  I don't see any contamination here.  Make sure everything is sterile and give it a spray.

That white bump might just be a tasty piece of food for the mycelium.

Kind of hard to see because of the lighting, but I suspect it may be a piece of the cake that just got squeezed a bit too hard during birthing and dunking?

I don't see any colors or growths that would seem like contaminants. Let it ride

Hi, thank you so much! Should I be worried if it keeps growing?
