Sorry for your loss.

That looks like what is frequently called cobweb mold. It will probably grow at a ridiculous rate. Then you will be certain.

That was my thought too, it's been there 3 days(at least) but is not increasing in size, I'll keep a close eye on in tho, thanks.

I wanna vote some sort of pin mold

But I do agree with assessment that it's mold vs cubensis mycelium

I've only encountered black pin mold, I was actually isolating it(not my intention). With that said, black pin mold had real fast growth and the little black "dots" could be seen within 48 hours. Would it do the same on coir?

I'm having a similar side/bottom pinning situation as well, from one x7x+ tub:






So my QQ: When I am harvesting the bigger fruits growing from the top surface (3 are ready to print!), should I also try to get the ones from the sides and bottom while I'm in there? I haven't seen any aborts yet, they are all growing right along.

I'm pretty sure the substrate pulled away from the tub when I carried them upstairs from the kitchen, I will adjust that going forward.

Thanks and love to you all!

Sure looks like it, but a couple of things giving me hope, it's been there 3 or 4(spawn to bulk) days and has not increased in size, and I opened the tub and took it out, it didn't fall apart and really looked like a single fireweed seed, it's probably just wishfull thinking, but I'll keep y'all posted.

Fireweed seeds.

Yes pin molds on coir grow rapid, and react to H202/solution, if curious. Won't be able to cure it it's almost just as tenacious as trich

I took it out, if it is mold, how long will it take before it's visible again? Thanks everyone

I’m working on making some MEA dishes and have an agar question.  I’m using the “holy grail” plastic cups with screw tops.  All the guides I can find suggest using a pressure cooker to sterilize the MEA before pouring.  If I’m pressure cooking the filled cups anyway, can I cut out the first PC step?  Is this what they mean by “no pour?”

Which ones are those? I just did a re-write on how I do my PP5 screw top plates. Might be helpful? and yeah as OnlineCamera93 said, no pour, refers to not having to pour hot sterilized agar. You PC them

Does anyone know if anyone has ever had success fruiting Panaeolus Cyanenscens top fruiting straight off of grain jars (with casing) the way cubes can be done that way?

Or is it absolutely necessary to have manure or something similar in the substrate to get them to fruit?

This: (TTBVI)


(Edit: I put the jar in a 19l tub with the lid flipped. Water at the bottom and a lot of varying conditions. Temp swaying a lot, humidity swaying a lot, regular misting as well as the spawn having been contaminated in the first place. This should not have worked so I consider myself nothing but lucky with this one. But yes, it can surely be done.)

So if you've got cobweb mold, your tub is done right? trash, no fruits?

If it starts looking anything like this, don't get your hopes up...:

Hell no, I have 4 tubs going right now, it's only that one tub with the weird, pea size growth. As said earlier I took it out, if it comes back or pop up any other place in the tub I'll "yeet it in to the sun" as per Mr.Piggy. And by no means do I blame the coir, but I think I will find another brand, I've used 3 bricks and in the second brick there where a blue shoelace

One of the other tubs.


Backup.


Edit; Brand of coir.

gotcha, it's just difficult for an newb like myself with an untrained eye to differentiate.

When watching the myc colonize my grain it didn't spread like I've seen cobweb mold spread (from pics on the forums), but I thought some of the myc it kind of looked the same since I've mostly got tomentose myc and not a ton of experience :/

I don't want mold or bacteria either just trying to learn (in regard to my no fruits question - it would be good to know that they didn't so I wouldn't have to worry I'd just know).

edit: just went over to how it should and shouldn't look to see and found these



and my tubs look nothing like that. On grain though I thought it looked similar to something I saw on the forums that was called cobweb but can't find it right now.
