Need help with green mold on/in casing
    #6371741 - 12/14/06 08:15 PM (17 years, 2 months ago)

Greetings all,

I'm looking for suggestions and advice for fighting green mold.

I've now got 3 trays that have at least spots of green mold on them. I chucked the first one that i saw that had any one it right away about a week ago but if i just chuck theses three i'm loseing almost half my trays.

I think what happened is that when i patched after the first flush the casing mixture i used was contaminated. I may possibly have use unpasterised icing on my cakes. The first one i noticed it on i scrapped the whole top down to the straw. It now (2 days later) has one or two tiny spots again. One of the other ones i removed a large portion of the casing but there were shrooms growing out of the rest so i kinda left it in some spots. It now has a big nasty spot right next to where is was scrapping. The last one has been sitting in my garage since last night but has a spot next to where i cut out a section.

I should add that there are not small casings one is in a shallow full size rubbermain, one a 1/2 size another in a 2'x6" tray.

What i'm wondering is can i cut all the bad shit out and mabey mist it with some bleach water ? I'm not sure there is any hope but they are all between 4-6 inches deep so i could remove a fair amount.


ANY HELP IS GREATLY APRECIATED....

Cheers,
JJJJJJ

Sadly, the DUMPSTER TEK is appropriate.

you can KILL it, but not CURE it.

Having green around, means you increase contam spore loads.
All around you & your grow area.
Which can haunt you for months.

Plain & simple, Shit can it.

You are better off losing half your trays than ALL your trays when the all contaminate,trich spreads like wildfire and will not only ruin everything you have that it can get to now but it will hang around increase the chances of ruining future projects,spray those casings to weigh down its spores so they don't get in the air any more than necessary when you move them and throw those things out right now,and dump them outside or at the very least in your garage or as far as your grow area as possible,with the exception of cobweb you are better off throwing away casings when they go bad rather than futilely try and fight them,they aren't worth trying to save them as not only is it unlikely that you will do it but it also puts everything else you grow at risk

That's kinda what i feared the answer was....no wonder searching on how to kill green mold doesn't give you shit. It's a bitch but a least i got one flush out them. I have a feeling everything will be going bad, but a valuable leason learned....never let your guard down. I learned that in Kung Fu too...hmm....Tae Kwon Mycology.
On the bright side all the jars I did over the weekend are looking great.

Thanks

I had a casing I did long time ago that got the green. I scraped the casing layer, and since I was kinda new (and still am) I DEFINETLY did NOT want to lose this cake, took the majority of the myc (in cake form) and placed it in a plastic bag, tied up tight and threw it into a deep recess of my room.

Yesterday, I found this bag (i really had forgotten about it) all tied up and stuck in some crack, and opened it up to see a little (just a spot) of the green and a (oddly deformed) 2 inch pin.

This thing is at least 3 months old.

Anyways, I took all of this, (throwing out the spot of green) and (in a different room altogether) put it all in a bath of HOT water (130) and peroxide (a 30 px/70 h20 mix).

It was like dropping alkaseltzer in a coke, it fizzed like a mofo for 10 mins, and after stirring it well I allowed the myc to soak up some water for 30 mins, and ran more hot water over it to loosen all verm from the myc itself.

I then took all the really good looking (as far as this project goes) chunks of myc, and spawned them to coir (ended up about 40myc/60coir mix). Placed all this in a modified box from a 6 pack of Sweetwater Hummer, lined with plastic, and then covered with a plastic bag, placed in incubator and bam.

I checked it today, and many little spots of myc starting to fuzz out. Now, I don't know what I've achieved by writing all this, or by this project, but there could be hope.

And hope is hot water, and shitloads of peroxide.

damnit, don't listen to me - trash all your green. it's just the thing to do. (reminds me of ol' yeller)

We got the power, yeah! motherfuckers it's where it belongs.

My first casing got a case of the green 2 days ago too. My pins had just formed a couple of days ago so last night I picked all the pins off (35g WET) and had myself a nice little trip. So yes, just to confirm what RR says, you can eat mushrooms picked off of a casing with mold. Just make sure the mushroom itself doesn't have any mold on it.

Now I've got to go clean my FC and room ruthlessly in an attempt to purge it of the green mold.

My LC is up and going, time for round 2!
