Is my casing gone?
    #5316655 - 02/19/06 02:32 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

I've been having a very LONG experience with Mazatapec. The 5 half-pint jars took a really long time to colonize. 1 of them in fact didn't colonize fully even though it had plenty of moisture, and when I cut it apart for the casing part of it was mushy and I had to cut it off. The jars were in fact left in cool to cold temperatures at times since it's winter, so that has got to be the reason for the slow colonization, right?

After doing the updated 50/50 tec using oyster shell flour as the calcium chloride, the casing is showing very little "progress." I quote 'progress' because I'm not sure if that's really what I should call it. For example, the mycelium isn't really spreading, or at most it's spreading outrageously slowly. On top of the casing is a spidery web-like material that has recently formed. I want to say it's the mycelium, but it's supposed to be cottony not spider web-like. Perhaps the humidity is too high? The temperature is 80-85 degrees.

What do you guys think? Can the mycelium actually die from cold?
