Is this mold?
    #5446821 - 03/27/06 10:09 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

These cakes were hatched about 5 days ago. 2 seem to be gathering a green/bluish color on top of them. At first, I hoped it was bruising, but it is becoming more prevelant as time goes by. If it is mold, does anything think that the other cakes around it, who have no blue/green color are ok and safe to continue? Also, on the second picture, look at the cake on the top right... is it good to have all the mycelium bumps on it? does that mean there will be more pinners?





I would appreciate any input
thanks

That is blueing of the mycelium, it is caused by cakes drying out, dunk and roll those suckers....

I did dunk these before putting them in the chamber. Again, that was 5 days ago, and I haven't had my first flush yet. Perhaps I should have rolled them in moist vermiculite to retain moisture. Do you think I should sprinkle some moist vermiculite over the tops of them? Also, are you sure that this is not mold?

Im positive it isnt mold, I have fruited 100's of cakes. Whats your RH at there is some reason they are drying out.. Oh also how long did you dunk for?

I dunked for 12 hours... although, the water was at room temp. is the only reason for dunking in cold water to induce pinners? Where can i get a good kit to determine rh? wait, maybe i'm thinking about ph. What is RH? BTW, my humidity stays around 90 %.

RH is relative humidity, 90% is the bare minimum for cakes I like 99% humidity myself, and I havnt noticed any difference with cold shocking, I dont do it because refridgerators are loaded with contams...

ok, I dunked the 2 bad ones in a sealed container in the fridge for 12 hours and rolled them. I also rolled the other 3 in wet vermiculite. Hope that helps.
