Bad case of Overlay? (pic)
    #5361389 - 03/03/06 12:26 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Here is a pic of a casing that has what I think is bad overlay. Its been in the FC for about 15 days now and this is what it looks like.

Is this a prime example of overlay? The mycelium on top is very cloudy and thick. I was about to deep scratch but I thought I would make a post about this and wait for someone to say go ahead. I know I'm new but I have already learned what I did wrong and how to not make this happen again. I hope to salvage something from this case too.

Wow. Thats the worst overlay I've ever seen. It's starting to turn a yellow/orange color. I've never dealt with anything like this but I would say scratch and put a very light casing. Let it recover one day and then try to fruit again.

Holy fuck man, was there even a casing layer on that thing at one point? You need to do some serious scratching, that casing is going to put out few (if any) mushies.

It actually doesn't look like overlay to me, but rather like a project that was spawned with bacterial contaminated spawn. Does it stink?

No it just has the regular smell, like a colonized WBS jar.

Agreed It doesn't look like overlay as much as very unlevel casing surface going into fruiting, any other earlier pics would prove invaluable to diagnosing your unusual looking casing. Coir based casing mix I presume? It also looks like you mist the casings directly to me. I would scratch and level and place a light (1/8-1/4") casing (peat based!) over that and fruit immediately optimizing all parameters. GL
