stuff is growing, like its supposed to.
But I'm starting to get nervous.
It looks way more like mold than the white fuzzies on my first flush. Is this natural? Will the fuzzies look a lil different this go round?

After dunking and rolling it's entirely possible that the myc is going nuts and expanding. As long as you used hydrogen peroxide in your dunking water and mist with a dash of that magical liquid, you should be safe.
If it turns green, it's done for, so keep an eye out.

Well I have some half-pints starting their first flush, and I thought they were molding at first too. Crazy, white, fuzzy, rolling stumps all over...and I completely forgot the hydrogen peroxide on the dunk!! Dammit...

I don't dunk with peroxide--just spring water. Peroxide will eliminate cobweb and help fight contams in water but it won't hold off trich. I typically get 5-6 flushes from cakes without contams. When you roll in vermic. you create a micro-climate for the myc. to overtake. Give the rolled cake a few days and it should be looking pretty white again. Air exchange--as much as anything--will fight contams. GL.

dont use h202 in your dunk..no need for it,a fully colonized cake will not get contams from dunking in tap water..dont worry..its very hard to...i never used h202 when dunking..not once,so dont worry your fine and white fuzz is the mycelium

I suppose I'm just the dissenting grower, but I've found that H202 is a cheap-as-dirt safety precaution. It's truth that colonized cakes are highly resistent to contams, but I find that 24 soaking in water with other cakes is a great way to expose your cakes to contams -- Even if one cake has a mild contamination on the outside, it can spread to the others. Granted, as bongtoke said it's rare, but I still think that it's a good practice.

Well if it doesn't hurt anything, I don't suppose I'd mind throwing it in the water. How much H202 are we talkin' here?

haha I'm in your shoes now! It seems to be growing quickly, whatever "it" may be.
