How to differentiate trich from shroom myc?
    #5979372 - 08/19/06 07:11 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I'm somewhat worried that I might have trich growth in one of my monotubs. The tub is uncased, and I've harvested one small flush from it. There is new myc growth from areas which were damaged from harvesting, however, there is also what looks like it could be either bruising or trich spores.

The myc growth I'm worried about is a bright white, fuzzy, patchy looking growth (numerous small spots of said bright fuzzy growth) amidst some green.

I've done the qtip test, but it's a bit inconclusive, as green does come off, but so do particles of myc.

Any way to differentiate the two?

Thank you.

A photo would help.

It doesn't sound good. bruising is blue, not green on cakes.

A photo with the detail/lighting/skill needed to show what I see is beyond my capability at this moment.

Are the suspected areas turning more green and spreading as time goes on? If so, I'd get rid of it immediately.

Indeed, but it's rather early to tell right now. I see a Loads of little spots, some of which I'm sure are nothing but bruising, but there are other spots that are questionable. I guess I'll just wait a day or so.

Trichoderma mycelium looks like close together polka dots the size of BB's before it turns green. If it's trich, the green will be just above the mycleium. If it's bruising, the mycelium itself will be green/blue. You should be able to easily tell the above with a bright flashlight and a magnifying glass.

Thank you much. It's trich. Throwing it out. Crappy, too, as I see a second flush forming in other spots on the tub.
