looks like it could be either/or. does it smell like anything besides earthy/mushroomy? if so, might be a bacterial infection. if not, you're probably ok.

It smells fine and dandy like good mycelia should..
Where are these pins of which you speak?

This batch has been in fruiting conditions for around 20 days now. I thought it may be contamd since it hasn't pinned. I remove the foil to inspect only to find that its pissed itself. Is this much piss a problem? (I'm assuming its piss since it smells healthy)
I've grown this strain many times before with pins forming within 5 to 10 days.

Could this be a non fruiting sub strain?
Could the mycelia have eaten all the nutes leaving none for fruit bodies?
Any suggestions on getting this to fruit would be mush appreciated..

I was thinking maybe a coffee spring water dunk kept in the fridge for 12 hours to shock the stubborn bastard..

well again if it is bacteria that would cause it to stop dead in its tracks.  but you say it doesn't smell, and i'd suspect that much bacterial growth would obviously stink to high hell, so its probably just taking its time.  20 days is a long wait but not unreasonable.  if its going to do anything it will be pretty soon, just stick with it for a little longer.  when you start coming up with ideas like coffee water dunking is when you mess with something that might be on the verge of working, and could screw it up in the long run!  if it were dry it would have shrunk and pulled away from the walls.  i can see water droplets in the pictures, so its fine.  patience..

take a look at this recent thread, hyphae and RogerRabbit both explain why the piss is formed.  it could be trying really hard to ward off a potential contam (thus focusing energy there rather than pinning), or maybe your temps are a little high... that would make the piss and delay the pins.  mid to low 70s is where you want it if possible.  a cold shock in the fridge probably isn't going to do a thing for you, other than slow the mycelium for a day while its in the fridge.  again, patience. :smile:

Cheers for the help

It's not contaminated-that is metabolyte. That much metabolyte in fruiting conditions is not normal. Is your temp high? Also, you said it was covered with foil. I hope you just meant the sides and bottom were covered.

I could imagine what this is. I also case in these microboxes, my casings look very similar to yours and I also have those discolorations. Did you use coir or potting soil? I think it is moisture from the casing layer that was colored by the particles in the casing layer itself (coir/soil) and oozed down to the space between the mycelium and the wall of the microbox. Put some soil/coir into water overnight and you get the same colored water. I think if we would all use casing pots with transparent walls and potting soil/coir as a casing layer, many people would see those discolorations. Anyway, none of my casings showing those discolorations was contaminated, but of course I was also worried until I found out what it was (or probably was).

My temp is at a steady 74F/ 24C, 24/7. The foil was covering the bottom & side since its a clear container. only a complete dweeb would cover the top while in fruiting conditions :wink: .

Its one'n'half pint wheat substrate cased with 50/50 Verm/Peat moss. It seem to have stalled since my last inspection. Thinking about spawning it to some hpoo since its probably wasted most of the nutes making damn metabolyte.
