Contam Question
    #5812407 - 07/02/06 12:53 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

My cat is growing a single cake in a cut off milk jug sealed with a plastic bag and rubber band. He noticed today that there was a blueish tinge on some of the tips of the small shrooms that were forming. There's a picture here, can someone tell him what this is? He just put a few other cakes in a rubbermaid for fruiting, should he be worried about this spreading through the air or surfaces?

It looks, from what i can tell from that pic, that its fine. But if you ever get worried isolate it JUST IN CASE! it takes very little extra work and you will be pissed if it spreads.

I cannot tell from your picture.

blueing is bruising usually.
in your case I would say from drying out.
dunk your cake for 24 hours in a jar full of distilled water.
in the fridge.

when you take it out,
roll it in some pasteurized casing mix.
or roll it in some vermiculite.
the air around the cake shoudl be very humid when the cake
should be fruiting.
like close to 100% humid.

use damp, rinsed perlite to achieve this humidity.

good luck with that.

Haha, he had to perform major surgery on the cake due to freaking out and thinking it's contammed (which seems to be a common enough around here) I suppose that is good news for his other couple cakes tho. It DID kind of look like it was spreading from the sides to the top tho.

A lot of people are not very clean in their practices. It takes work and dedication to keep your grows clean. I am a lazy ass myself, but when it comes to my grows I am a clean freak. Blue is almost always bruising. Mould will bleed out color (use a moist q-tip), and bacteria stinks. It's not that difficult. Peace.
