It's healthy. First, mold changes color early. It can grow out the size of a nail head and turn color, tends to spore after a very small amount of the molds mycelium grows. Second, mold smells musty, offensive, rotten. Mushroom mycelium can have a variety of smells but typically it's not rotten or offensive, and the vast majority smell like mushrooms, earthy and pleasant, especially psilocybes, oysters and turkeytail.

Molds are by far the hardest to control. Bacteria is easy to control by control the moisture content. If it's too soggy, standing water, bacteria have the advantage. If it's field capacity, fungus has the advantage. Also molds tend to have the upper hand when the substrate is too wet. Mushrooms need moisture but they tend to do well with less than you'd think.

How does it not look healthy? No sign of mold. And dude says it has a strong mushroom smell. If it was seriously infected from mold or bacteria that wouldn't be the case. No sign of mold, all I see is healthy mycelium and substrate. And the smell obviously confirms this. I get the joke, but he's probably in need of concise information because he's concerned. So I say to you dude, keep the moisture proper, pay attention to smell and color and you'll figure it out. Kind of looks like a polypore species, is it? If so, they need less moisture than fleshy ones. Reishi for example, u let that bitch get soggy and you'll for sure grow mold, got to keep it dryer that most others.

I mean, it does not at all look good. The blobby growth and the yellow mycelium piss. There is obvious contamination. It will probably still grow shrooms, but it isn't "healthy".

Jezzuz  :eww:  that thing is not in good shape in any sense. Id toss that man. Sorry 4 ur loss. I highly doubt youll get anything from that at all and would be a little sus of eating anything that came out of that. I dont think you have much mushroom mycelium there. Mayb some where the metabolites are but even then...might not be mushie myc at all. Looks like a tub o mold to me personally.

:lol:


It almost looks like lions mane.



That’s extremely bacterial, the thick myc/blobs/yellow color/metabolite pools are all signs of contamination.


It is possible you might get a few pins but I wouldn’t count on it.



It looks like you did everything right as far as spawning the tub and keeping conditions in the right zone. Once you get cleaner spawn you’ll be growing plenty of shrooms.

Dude the blobs are scloreta, mexicana varieties produce them. And some says it looks like mold. So where's the color then? Only white mold is cobweb, and that type of mold isn't compact. If bacteria is present that's easy as shit to fix, just let it dry up a bit.

Seriously u guys, you're giving me the impression ur all noobs. Have you seen mold before. Those blobs remind me of what you'd see with dam polypore primordial. Very smooth, very dense, off white only because it's damp, would be white if moisture was right. Now that he mentions it's mexicana makes sense, this strain produces sclerota. And did you guys not know mold produces colored spores? Green, black, pink, sound familiar. Jeez wtf guys you all sound like you have no experience here. Dude listen, that tub looks healthy. If it appears at all soggy, just cut back on watering. You got nice sclerota growing, it's going to explode with mushrooms. WHEN it does, not if but when, post the photo.

No way. Look at how it's spread. It's probably infected the entire organism. It might be salvageable if OP slices one of those blobs and tries to clean it up in agar.

He said it’s cubensis.


And even if it were a stone producer that’s not what stones look like.


Those blobs are reaction to either mold or bacteria.

One time I ate some messed up mushrooms and me and my buddy who ate them with me got a respiratory infection! It was like sea foam in our lungs.

Okay so then explain what other molds look like this guys tub or appear perfectly white. I'm willing to learn. At this point if you're only willing to state someone is wrong but not explain why, your credibility is lost. I'm willing to be corrected if you will present information that discounts my statement other then simply stating I'm wrong. Perfectly white and dense like mushroom mycelium, this is key. I've seen white mold that wasn't cobweb, but it was loose and had black spores at the ends of its very fluffy mycelium. In fact if you look up white mold on the internet, it's rather difficult to find any mold that doesn't product colored spores. Not one of you have mentioned a white mold, yet you all claim there is "tons". Does that make sense? There's so many, "tons" so many in fact I forgot the name to any of them. Wtf?Seems like you're not actually aware of one.

I'm not experienced with psilocybes, I'll give you that. I'm very much a noob to many species of mushrooms, as are any of you. With how many mushrooms you can cultivate, all of you have cultivated relatively few. I'm not a noob at polypore species however, I've been growing them for over 8 years. And those blobs look very similar to many polypores when beginning their primordia stage. That does not resemble mold to any stretch of the imagination.

I explained all that earlier.


They’re not saying that the whole thing is mold, but that when mold gets meshed into a culture it can cause that thick blob growth.


Personally I think it’s bacteria, but it could be a lot of stuff.


Cubensis myc should be thinner and sort of fluffy/rhizo.

Oh ok, I got you. I mean I looked at the photo, there's no coloration so I don't think molds in there is what I'm saying. I know mold mycelium can be dense and is white, but typically it spores after just a small growth which leads to color. I have yet to see any mold that is dense white and produces white spores, I'm sure one or two could exist but it wouldn't be common because no one has ever mentioned it, and I've read a lot of grow logs. Never seen such a thing myself. 90% of contams I've experienced were green, other 10% lipstick mold. Black mold that I have had was very slow growing, so slow it would never take over the substrate. And I've only had the fluffy black spore type arise from cloning wild specimens, doesn't seem to be a type that gets into the substrate, more of a wild contamination than one that prefers agriculturally produced products. And you all got to understand sometimes mushrooms can destroy contamination. I've personally seen oysters and maitake destroy green mold while colonizing, there's even a video on YouTube of oyster mycelium doing this. If you have a strong strain, strong species, and get the conditions right such as moisture and temp, it's very likely the mushroom will overtake contamination. Usually mold gets a foot hold because the moisture is too high, (mycelium can't breath, more favorable to contams) and temp is too high, stresses mycelium out.

Your tub looks gross. If it was healthy it wouldn't look gross.

You may get some fruits,  but like others said dont count on it.

Everyone here is trying to help you OP, its not a dick measuring contest.

That tub is fucked. There are a bunch of different competitive things trying to eat the nutrition (some of them are eating each other as nutrition) in that tub such as bacteria, probably molds, possibly other mushrooms, and definitely demons.. Maybe even some nematodes. It's garbage. Start over.


There are thousands of white molds BTW.

Here is Aspergillius Oryzae...


I ate this mold muwahahahaha!

Oh ok, I got you. I mean I looked at the photo, there's no coloration so I don't think molds in there is what I'm saying. I know mold mycelium can be dense and is white, but typically it spores after just a small growth which leads to color. I have yet to see any mold that is dense white and produces white spores, I'm sure one or two could exist but it wouldn't be common because no one has ever mentioned it, and I've read a lot of grow logs. Never seen such a thing myself. 90% of contams I've experienced were green, other 10% lipstick mold. Black mold that I have had was very slow growing, so slow it would never take over the substrate. And I've only had the fluffy black spore type arise from cloning wild specimens, doesn't seem to be a type that gets into the substrate, more of a wild contamination than one that prefers agriculturally produced products. And you all got to understand sometimes mushrooms can destroy contamination. I've personally seen oysters and maitake destroy green mold while colonizing, there's even a video on YouTube of oyster mycelium doing this. If you have a strong strain, strong species, and get the conditions right such as moisture and temp, it's very likely the mushroom will overtake contamination. Usually mold gets a foot hold because the moisture is too high, (mycelium can't breath, more favorable to contams) and temp is too high, stresses mycelium out.

Damn fellas, it's getting straight retarded in here

I didn't even need to read one post to know the answer to "First attempt, is it contaminated?"

The answer is yes, because everyone's first attempt is contaminated

BTW OP, throw that shit out. It's fucking gross

Better luck next time

Actually drank it. Made a wort with the stuff and then fermented it in an open air environment with yeast/acetobacter.

Has anyone even looked up aspergillus oryzae? Can you tell me the spore color? Is the spore color white? Is it any other color than white? If not, is there another species with white spores? I'm genuinely curious because I would like to know if it is known, so I can know what to look out for. I had seen it produces green spores, but possible theirs a strain of it that produces white spores? Or maybe it was cultivated to not produce spores like paul stamets had done with a mold that parasitizes bugs? If it were developed to not produce spores for food fermentation, it's not relavent to cultivation because you wouldn't encounter that?

This is a culture of both aspergilus oryzae and aspergilus kawachii (white spores). if you zoom in you can see the spore colors. this is fully sporulating and the white areas are covered in white spores. Interesting thing about A kawachii is that is makes citric acid from the rice starches imparting a nice sour flavor in foods.

Aspergilus oryzae is like sake and fermented rice treats in Asian culture. It's also isolated for digestion supplements.

I had some similar looking growths. I though it was contaminated for sure but then as I was researching what it might be I was seeing sometimes you can mutated blobs that aren’t necessarily contaminated. So those blobs are definitely mold mycelium?

Yes but that is mold I grew on purpose from clean cultures. Don't just go eating any old mold.
