    #5964337 - 08/14/06 09:53 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

i recently birthed cakes that i thought were 100% colonized but they were not in the middle.i crumbled them up for casings and thought they would colonize the casing layer ,but now i had one casing contam and 2 others look just like they did the day i cased them.should i put them in the fc? do i need to trow them away??any help would be appreciated  :mushroom2:

if one is contam'd it stands to reason the others are, just under the casing where you dont see it yet. you're probably screwed.

when you crumble, and lay out into a tray, you should give them a few days to colonize and stitch together in a solid block. did you? if you put the casing layer on immediately after crumbling, that's what did you in. you can usually get away with cakes that aren't totally finished in the center if you let them recoup for a bit first... next time, crumble, cover tray with a piece of foil, poke a few holes in the foil and cover the holes with micropore tape so it can breathe, and give them some time in the incubator before casing.

yeah i cased them right away hoping it would colonize.the contam looks like cobweb maybe and smells like bad fruit.could i take the casing layer off the ones that are starting to colonize again and then incubate or am i delaying the Inevitable?

well i guess time will tell... im not psychic. :smile:  its just that if one did, the odds are stacked against you.

keep them incubating until you see mycelium poke through the casing surface.  usually it does in 2-3 days time, but if they weren't fully colonized its not unreasonable for it to take a few days more.

if it pokes through, and you don't see contams, and they don't smell, well then they probably made it and into the FC they can go.
