ok my buddy without the computer has another question. he birthed his first cake about four days ago, he had a problem with the verm getting stuck on the top so he brushed it off lightly but, accidently did minor damage to a small spot on the top side of the cake. Less than two days after birthing it there was a pin were the damage was, and it continues to grow. there are no other mushrooms any where else on the cake. Is this going to effect his first flush? He really doesnt know what to make of this if it is a problem or not. thanks alot

i'm guessing that he didn't dunk it
i did this exact same thing (without the damaging it part) and ended up with just 1 mushroom
tell him to dunk it

ok now he is wondering since he worried about contams in the dunking process, and has a few other healthy just birthed cakes in his fc he doesn want to risk loosing, if scraping the sides of the cake, and injecting it with clean water in a syringe would work? He has heard of people doing this instead. thanks

Mycelium is very resistant once fully colonized. There is no harm in dunking them and its probably a better idea than injecting with water.

Like I said, very resistant, Ive used a *seemingly* clean pot and tap water for dunking, no contams.

he doesn't need to boil the water, make sure he doesn't dunk it IN boiling water either!
just get a bottle of spring water, put it into a cleaned jar, and then fill with water. i like to hold it down about where the lid would and fill the jar all the way up then screw on the lid
it's also a good idea to refrigerate them
i just put them beside my airvent
