    #6755553 - 04/06/07 08:25 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

so i birthed this cake about a week ago. i was supprised to see mushrooms growing so soon. but on the top of the cake there is white fuzz growing out and there are little white balls in the growth. is this a contamination and if it is why is the single mushroom still growing?

Sounds like mycelium and primordia, so you're in the clear. Mycelium sometimes grows up the stalks of mushrooms in a high humidity environment, and primordia (the little white balls) are the start of a new mushroom.

kind of hard to say without actually seeing the white fuzz in a picture. My experience tells me that the white fuzz is actual mycelium doing it's thing.

well i tryed to post some pictures but i had trouble uploading them. as for smell, it smells like mushrooms. any guesses on why i have one shroom almost done growing and it has barely been a week, and im just now getting little caps where the white fuzz is growing?
