Grey spot on PF cake
    #5866078 - 07/16/06 04:31 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

This PF cake has a light grey spot on it a little over an inch wide, and all the way from top to bottom. From the texture, it looks like the mycelium might just be dying off there and showing the substrate, but it's hard to tell. It smells the same as my other cakes as far as I can tell. Does this look like some sort of mold, or is it possible for part of the mycelium to die off like that?

The cake has been colonizing at room temp in the dark for the past 31 days. It might have been ready as much as a week ago, but a third of the cakes from this batch still aren't completely done, and I wasn't really sure when to birth. I might have used too much water because there was a pretty decent amount of water collecting on the side of all of the jars. I only noticed the grey spot three days ago. It might have been there before, but it definitely wasn't there before the mycelium was showing progress. I don't really think it's been spreading.

So should I fruit it in a separate chamber? Cut it off? Ignore the spot?

I have to keep reminding myself that it's only one cake and it's not too big a deal, but I still really want to know what's happening to it. Thanks!
