hello all,
so thanks ahead of time for helping me here
I have about 4 knots peeking out on top of one of my casings. Its white, kinda looks like a phat stem that has been bent in half, isn't small at all, about the size of a small rubber bouncy ball, No signs of a head or any pins present any where .. any idea?
What is this? what should I expect from this?
thanks
fozi

no.. honestly i messed up .. big time.. i had 7 strains. and I accidentally mis labeled them when they went from jar to casing.. so.. i may need some mush identification help later since im not that experianced.. it sucks because i had it all marked up until the last step.. i was almost so careful.. err.. next time.
thanks

if they're all cubes, you're gonna most likely need a microscope to look at the spores to tell em apart.

It doesn't really matter if you mark the strains or not. They all grow the same. Anyway, what you describe above is most definitely NOT hyphal knots. Hyphal knots are very small dots, not much bigger than a grain of sand. Here's a picture of a casing surface with hyphal knots, primordia and pins for comparison. It's easier to see the difference on the paper money than on peat/verm. RR
