Condensation on Casing
    #5783401 - 06/23/06 10:31 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

Is water condensation on the casing potentially harmful? My friend has a ton of water beads on his mycelium growth and it has not pinned for almost a week and a half now. Would there be any way to remove these beads of water without harming the casing? What do you think?

well next time respond in the first thread asking for more feedback and/or clarification - making more threads confuses things.

you may not have gotten other "opinions" because its not an opinion question.  i promise i'm not leading you astray. :smile:

to address the other part of your question you added here, you certainly can dab up excess moisture when it occurrs by gently touching the wet spots with a corner of a paper towel.  it will suck it right up.  but i'll reiterate, this should only be done if there's an excess: either large water droplets or water otherwise pooling.  small droplets are what you WANT.  that means the microclimate is prime for the pinning.  go search for hyphae's pinning strategy, he describes this as "glistening"... very very tiny droplets all over is perfect.  from a contam point of view you're not at any particular risk because of it either (again, as long as its not excessive.)  good luck.

i know a thing or two about getting pins on a casing



if you look close you'll observe water droplets on the mycelium.  if yours is like that you're doing well.  if you have a little more, i still wouldn't screw with it.  if you have a lot more, then maybe try to dab some up, or better yet increase FAE so that it evaporates on its own without you disturbing anything.  more often then not when you start to fool around with stuff you make it worse!
