Ok this first casing I put in the FC a week ago, and its barely knotting. It also has a lot of greyish-white(cobweb mold?).. and im afraid its starting to overlay..


Anything wrong with this one? My plexiglass dented a line when it fell in but anything other than that.


Are they contaminated? should they be pinning by now? any thoughts would be appreciated ^_^

I'm not seeing any condensation on the insides of those trays so you may have too low a humidity, conditions need to be very moist for pins to develop. GL

Oyster Shell "Flour" $2 for 1lb. a hell of a deal Not what is overlay but rather what overlay is Gas Exchange vs. FAE "We all have priorities. I used a closet once setup a nice little lab trouble was all the shit that was in there ended up in the bedroom that pissed off the GF then I ended up dumping her as she was getting in the way of my sterile culture technique! Ya I got priorities too!!!"

I didn't really see any overlay or weird color, lots of hyphal knots. If you suspect cobweb, hit it with some straight peroxide in a spray bottle--it will dissolve on contact--and it will set the mycelium back as well (but that is better than cobweb). A week is not a long time in the FC, and from those pics, pins should be close. Have you read Hyphae's pinning strategy? There are some great pics. of casings in there--and some awesome advice. GL.

The only problem I see with those casings is that they are too dry. Mushrooms love water!
