Very fluffy myc on colonized coir substrate
    #29442063 -


I spawned about 1:2 was to straight coir with a little gypsum.

It seemed to colonize OK.  The surface is pure white, a little condensation on the walls and just a few drops of water on the surface. 

I'm just curious why the surface appears so fluffy.  It's p. Cubensis, so I wasn't really expecting that. 

I've avoided watering/misting and have been fanning a few times a day.  I have a small LED grow light on it (with white, red, and blue leds).

I'm not sure if it's OK, or if the fluffiness requires me to do something different.  I've never worked with a straight coir bulk--could that be the cause?

It looks and smells OK.  Not a trace of anything other than pure white.

I can’t really tell from the picture, but stop fanning it. LITFA and mist if it gets too dry. I really only ever have to mist if my heat is running non stop.

Definitely agree with ^, stop fanning immediately, mist properly and make sure the surface has water droplets but isnt wet, ensure some fae and wait. normally i use cvg but coir with a bit of gypsum should be fine and your mycelium looks okay.
