Does Trich smell like Urinal Cake and dirt?

So I birthed a few oyster cakes, and I noticed all my Grey Oysters, over the course of a day, have a white thick fuzz growing on them, (nothing green yet, but a thick white fuzz that doesn't look like oyster myc), and a strong smell of urinal cake and some nasty funk behind it were present, as well as a kind of earthy smell.
I'm guessing it's trich, I already bagged them and tossed them, as I'd prefer not to wait to find out, however, just to confirm that it was trich, and to give other people an idea on what to keep their nose peeled for, what do you compare trich to when you smell it?
Is there that sweet tangy smell of urinal cake?

I had the wet dirt smell, that's for certain, I'm just curious as to what would cause the sweet smell that accounted for the urinal smell. However, with the amount of species of trich, it wouldn't surprise me if one produced the pungent odor.
Thank you RR!

No it doesn't smell like piss, it smells like urinal cake, the sweet smelling deodorizer found at the bottom of urinals.

So this is old but it turns out the smell was most likely the oyster mushroom mycelium.

I know this post is really old, but it is the only one I have found that mentions this odor. I’ve had some trouble with bags from one vendor, they all contaminated to some degree and the ones that took longer to show contam also had huge clumps of mycelium, very frothy and fluffy and solid, growing in the end of the bags, even bags I hadn’t inoculated yet. Well, one of them has survived and the fluffy monster is just taking over. At first it smelled like anise but now all I smell is urinal cake. It will start to produce a dark orangish brown growth that sort of looks like a jelly fungus, then in a day or two the mycelium takes over again. Very dark orange beads of liquid as well. Was that urinal cake smell really the oysters? I’m just trying to solve the mystery. The vendor of course is no help.

Don't worry about mysteries that may never be solved, but do get to work with agar. You could salvage a bad bag by transferring the colonized grain to plates.

This thread is indeed old. In modern times smelling has been replaced by tasting. Taste the urinal cake. Swirl, sip, spit (or swallow, whatever you’re in to). Then do the same with the suspected trich. Are they the same? Different? Delightfully floral with a hint of chocolate? Repeat as needed until all becomes clear. Science!

Definitely an old post.
You know I had some trich growing on a different medium recently and it smelt like bad cologne. Can't really explain it.
