Possible contamination?
    #28367061 - 06/20/23 12:08 PM (1 year, 6 months ago)



Hello everyone. I am new here and I am also very new to mushroom cultivation. I am currently trying to grow some Golden Teachers and I used an all in one 5 pound grow bag and then I broke it up into an inflatable monotub. I want to know if this is normal, or if it is contamination. It's been over two weeks without any fruiting and I am beginning to worry. There is no miscoloration and it's been fuzzy like this for a few days so I'm not sure if it's contamination or not. Any help would be great!

I've been misting in once a day. Should I do it more or just mist it more when I do mist it? Also for your information I've been airing it out 3 times a day sometimes 4.

Keep misting but stop airing it out, if you have a lid just flip it upside down


take a look at this

could be bacterial with how weird & lumpy the sub is looking, but nothing you can do about it now

you want your surface to look like this at pretty much all times

as mentioned, you don't need to air it out. your tub should have passive & constant air exchange, no need to fan or open it up to exchange the air

Doesnt look completely bad, i think youll have fruits

keep an eye on the aerial mycelium not drying out, laying way for attack

Here is an update a few days later after taking all of your guys advice. Is this bruising and should I be worried?

Thats bruising, your surface looks very dry to me, could use a mist from above. Look in my signature for the surface condition write up. You want small micro beads of water all over the surface without any pooling
