Here's the pic I asked about contamination a few days ago.



It's not there anymore. Here's full pic from today so my question is - how close am I to wanting to go substrate?




So it's not contaminated? Does it smell like fresh fungi?
Oh man cool to hear that, assuming you're somewhere where it's legal, then maybe spawn soon? If I were you I'd spawn that to bulk as soon as possible.
Or you can even just case the grains, but I'd spawn, its up to you.

The way the individual grains themselves arent fully colonized is a strong indicator of bacteria.

Those look as fully colonized as theyll get. Now its just time to spawn and hope for the best

Quite a few quick questions! After coming home from a 2 week vaca, my shroom sitter did the best she could with her limited knowledge and to me she did awesome and better than I expected. Of course I knew I’d lose stuff and maintaining an optimal environment like I try to do would probably not be likely. All I really was concerned of was that things were harvested and dried and that was done perfectly. However, I came home to a few issues, so here I go…

These ochras, looked a bit crazy looking. Any explanations as to why they would grow like this and open up the way they did? The first ones she harvested looked normal.









The next thing was I have two super dry cakes. Like bricks. One was a Mazatapec cake, which produced 1174g wet. The second was tidal wave which produced 457g. This cakes was dry but slightly moist on the bottom, and had a ton of mushrooms growing on the bottom. Some dried out, some healthy and good for harvesting. This cake also has a ton of dried pins and baby shrooms on it. What would you do with these cakes?

Maz Cake…


Tidal Wave cake bottom, then top





Reposting this and hoping for some input on this, mainly the  2nd part of it regarding the tub cakes. Tree Frog commented on the first part and said it could be low spore mutations and TF is much more knowledgeable than I am. I was thinking either not enough moisture in the sub or low fresh air.

Is it ok to store a fully colonized grain spawn bag in the kitchen fridge full of foods and meats?
Since it's already fully colonized does it need to breathe? Should I put it in another bag or cover the filter so no bacteria/contams could get in?

If so, how long can it last in the kitchen fridge?

So you’re saying harvest everything off the cakes and soak them?

The smell through the filter is clean and grain-like without any sourness or other odor fwiw.

Those are absolutely contaminated with bacteria.  Spawn individually, do not mix them.

The top left corner of the bag on the right in the second photo looks extremely fucky.  I'm not sure what's going on there but it might be a touch of mold.  If not then it is myc weakened by bacteria.

Ok thank you! I want to use it right away but very hectic schedule. No space in my mycology fridge either where i store all my stuff. Kitchen fridge always feels like a bunch of bacteria/contam could creep in

I think the fresh air is pretty good on those, you should see some of the spaghetti in the ochracentrata thread.

But, I've only grown them in tents.  I just noticed my low spore pans have trouble orienting.  But they also grow more before deciding to abort :shrug:

I think if yours had dropped spores, they'd honestly look worse with how long they went. As once spores drop the colony will stop pushing nutrients and even start digesting the mushrooms.

If I had any attachment to it I would toss it in a shoebox and cover it with coir.

If not, squirrel food.

We've got rats around here cause of the cow farm nearby and I try my best not to give them reason to visit. Appreciate it though.
