Slow cake
    #5110108 - 12/27/05 02:52 AM (18 years, 2 months ago)

This cake was slow. Inoculated with Penis Envy on Nov 29. It colonized at a normal rate until about 2 weeks later Dec 13. No pic for this date. It had an uncolonized spot. All of the thick white area on the next pic was uncolonized (roughly the shape of Australia). A week later after no growth, I changed its environment a little. Lowered RH to 50% down from close to 100% and turned the cake upside down for extra air exchange.


This is when the thick white mycelium shown below began to grow. Within a few days it looked like this:

Taken: 12-21-05

Now, four weeks after inoculation, its has stopped growing again. Its been like this for about 3 days and there seems to be some brusing on the thick mycelium. The little uncolonized spot is clean, so why won't it colonize there?

Taken: 12-27-05

I don't really suspect contamination, but I figured I would post and see what others thought.

I am thinking of two possible paths to follow next.
1) Be patient and put it in a fruit chamber when ready.
2) Crumble and case

:thumbup: You should do this anyways. 

Otherwise just be patient.  Your cake may be dehydrated.  If you do choose to wait, dunk, roll and DEC that sucker.

Best of Luck.

That's what mushroom mycelium does when there's a contaminate present or it's a very wet substrate. In this case, prolly bacteria. Try to wait it out to see if the mycelium will gobble up the remainder of the cake. In some cases it will, but it could take some time. Then again, it could simply be a bit dry too. But, it doesn't look like it to me.

If it will not finish up, you can birth it an remove that spot with a knife if you want to use it as a cake. Or, do as mentioned above and crumble it for casing use. Remove the infected part first of course. But, I think it will finish up...
