Possible mold on mushroom cakes
    #28012639 - 10/23/22 02:22 PM (2 years, 2 months ago)

Hello,

I have noticed a thick white fuzz on my mushroom cakes and was curious if this is a mold or mycelium. It has been about 6 days since I've birthed the cakes and I began noticing the thick fuzz after day 2. I understand white fuzz is normal and as this is a sign of healthy mycelium. However, this fuzz a much thicker than what I have experienced before.

My humidity is at 99% and the temperature is at 83 F. I was using a hydrotone humidifier to run 4 times a day for an hour. I realized this may have been too much and am no longer using the humidifier. I am also fanning the cakes twice a day.

So does this look like mold to you guys or is it just over humidified mycelium?

Welcome!  :hi:

Others are better at spotting contamination.

Cool it down to mid 70's,

Keep it moist by misting.

Be patient.

:goodluck:

This looks dry as fuck. *Don't fan. Ever*. Mist only to achieve proper conditions. 1 good misting from 4" high and then let them be. NO FANNING NO HUMIDIFIER.

(it looks like stressed myc to me, not contam)

Looks like aerial mycelium, both fluffy and rhizomorphic. I don't think there is visible contamination present.
