Came back from vacation to a nightmare
    #5731258 - 06/09/06 03:59 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

I just got back from vacation and four of my fruiting cakes had started to get what looks like a bluish green contam...I threw them out...the other 7 cakes look fine...except for some really bad looking shrooms. 11 days with no light and only polyfill for air exchange = fucked up looking shrooms, all stems and tiny tiny caps !!

My question is are the other 7 cakes likely to get this contam ?
They were all in the same fruiting chamber, and I disenfected the chamber with rubbing alcohol, added fresh perlite and picked all the messed up shrooms off the cakes. It's been 3 days since I got back and no sign of blue green shit so far.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks !

P.S.....I'm never gonna leave my babies alone like that again !

you probably threw away some viable cakes man, blue/green is an indication of bruising. When you catch trich you know, it can be wiped off as the green you see are it's spores. The actuall trich mycellium is white which is why you usually can't detect it until it's too late.

I hope your right...I was just curious how they could show bruising if I haven't touched them ?

Thanks for the input.

they can show bruising because of drying out.

That one looks just fine bro. Sometimes, cakes will get even more blue depending on humidity and their moisture content.

I would have isolated the cakes with the color from the ok ones, just to watch how fast the color spread... if it were a mold it would dominate your cake rather quickly, rather than going away...

That cake is fine, Its just brusing, happended with my first cakes and I freaked out, but a bit of TLC and they returned to normal.

Lucky you threw out 4 and not all of them though.

These cakes for whatever reason dried out more than the rest. Bluing is also caused by lack of water not just bruising. A good dunking would have saved those, remember fully colonized substrate is very resistant to contams.

Thanks for all the responses. I guess it was pretty dumb to throw those out, but I was worried they were going to contaminate the rest of the cakes...I plan to be much more careful in the future.

Thanks agsin !!

I did the same thing when I first started. Everyone makes a few little mistakes now and again, novice or veteran. :smile:

Always better to be safe than sorry especially if not sure, you did good  but now you are a bit more wiser (Budweiser). :wink:
