Most recent noob making sure she isn’t growing mold… * 1
    #27732676 - 04/13/22 11:01 AM (2 years, 9 months ago)

First timer - I’m doing shoeboxes and put my spawn to grain 36 hours ago (uncased). These are VERY fuzzy so just hoping to get validation as to whether they’re moldy brown rice or mycelium (or tribbles). Might be too early to tell? Sorry if this isn’t the right forum to ask.

That looks okay for now.

You put your grain to spawn... not the 9ther way round :grin:

Things are moving right along but still very fuzzy… but not as fuzzy as the “cobweb” mold I’ve seen…. Am I still in the clear?

Looks like a mostly tomentose culture (some are) aside from the few ropes but yes it looks just fine for now. Good luck on your first flush. What culture are you running?

Looks good to me!

Tomentose mycelium has the appearance of wispy cotton which resembles cobweb mold, but they definitely different. Nice work! 😎👌

It’s huautla from spore works. I’m trying shoeboxes from the much-maligned uncle bens tek lol 😆 I did 7 bags and as far as I can tell I’ve had no sign of contamination. I have another 7 bags percolating as of 4/11/22. I made sure to use a SAB and sterilized the loving help out of everything. Used 100% pasteurized coir for substrate. They’ve grown so FAST! I’m truly amazed. I have always loved foraging for mushrooms and other wild delights and I’m going to get some lions mane going as well. Now that I’m more confident I think I’ll try some agar so I don’t have to purchase more spores. Mycology is freaking fascinating.

…And this message board is AMAZING. Thank you for your help!

The last pictures you posted look good but on the dry side. It should be glistening with a fine mist of water, but not pooling.

When you start fruiting them make sure you maintain proper surface conditions so you get a nice pinset and eventual harvest.


Eventually when the marketplace sub-forum opens up for you then you can get free spores from giveaways.

Thanks for the tip - I definitely want them juicy when I start fruiting. There are some tiny pockets of bare coir so I’m biting my nails waiting to hit 100% so I can move to the next step🤗🤗🤗

Looks like a lack of oxygen problem and the myc is reaching out for it. How do u have ur fruiting situation set up?

Unmodified shoeboxes in a basement room 7x9, cracked upside down lid; ultrasonic humidifier, small heater to keep the room at 75-ish, 50% room humidity. I’ve been fanning at least four times a day.  they are getting pretty dry between every mist/fan session

Mannnnnnn…. Things are looking sketchy to me… there’s a thickened layer over the top of things and mycelium seems kinda *depressed *  it was pokey and perky now it’s sagging and getting discolored…  but I’ve never done this before… thoughts?

did you change anything in regards to the conditions? sometimes misting aural myc or drying out (or bacterial spawn) can cause some matting like that

No changes other than a slight temp increase during a warm day… should I carry on with business as usual? Does anybody think that spot I circled looks blue/gray?

The blue/grey is from the surface bruising if you sprayed it with water. The mycelium is matting down.

Your spawn is probably bacterial. You might still get some fruits. No big deal.

Just start over with clean spawn.

yeah, just make sure the surface is staying properly moist & let it ride. you’ll most likely get mushrooms before anything goes horribly south

Luckily I have some grain spawning already… 5 shoeboxes and they’re all looking like this… no beginner’s luck this time I guess :/
