Is this mutation or contamination?
    #28017416 - 10/26/22 11:13 AM (2 years, 2 months ago)

Hey guys,

Just getting back to it and I found this on a recent batch I had thought had stalled.

Are these weird mutants or is this tub just nasty af?

EDIT: I am growing malabar and not PE. This tub has been fruiting for almost 2 weeks and this is all that has grown.

Looks a little dry in there and maybe a little bacterial. Ya had some good pins going. Got a picture of the rest of the tub?

Here are some photos taken from today. There was some contamination before the stall, a very small patch of pin mold. I nuked it with peroxide (I know, I know) and it seemed to prevent it from spreading, at least on the surface. Thats the discoloration in bottom left of the first photo.

But the tub has stalled except for the small patches of weird grey blobs, which haven't really grown but spread slightly.

Is this some sort of weird cancer? :confused:

I am honestly surprised after the initial bit of contamination, there hasn't been any overt visual signs or bad odors. The tub seems alive, but this is outside my very limited expertise.

post your pics directly to the shroomery in the future! it’s all around better for everyone <33

i agree w screwup, it looks dry & like it may be fighting something. you want your surface like this at all times. contamination can weaken the myc & cause it to stall & shit, on top of being dry i doubt it’s wanting to fruit. ime with bacterial spawn or contams that aren’t overt, you will probably get a first flush but other contaminations come quickly after to settle in since the myc is a bit weak
