Casing layer contam
    #5489836 - 04/07/06 12:06 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

On one of my casings mycelium has started poking through around the edges and at the same time there was a white growth in the middle. I pretty much instantly knew what it was but decided to ask here. The look of the growth in the middle was white a brighter white than the mycelium breaking through, and was growing differently than the mycelium. Since I figured it was a mold I decided to scrape it and I found it was isolated on top and didn't connect down to the mycelium. It had a very faint green mold smell. I have experience with mold on cakes and I usually find wierd white growth and then it turns green.

So.. is there anyway to save this casing or should I just pitch it?

You can surely try. Just make sure you get rid of all the mold mycelium and then a little extra around it. Then I would mist the uncolonized portion with 10% peroxide solution.
