My first casing attempt is driving me UP A WALL!
    #7430189 - 09/19/07 09:41 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

So, I cased two batches and one caught a case of the green moldies pretty quickly while the second case, the one that is in the middle of a flush, seemed to be going strong.

A few days ago I noticed some mycelium was a little blue but figured that wasn't too out of the ordinary, per a little research in these forums.

So, I go to pick a few little darlings and I noticed this garbage. It's so damn frustrating.

Is this definetly mold or what? I've got some good looking fruit bodies out of it except for a few that were actually growing out of the discoloration (those pics are included, as close as i could get).

1. Do I pick the available mushies and scrap the case?
2. What are my other options?
3. Are these safe to ingest?
4. Is contamination usually a big problem with casings? I've done batches of pf cakes with no trouble and I'm wondering if the casings are worth the headache.

Thanks in advance for all your help, these forums have been a Godsend.

FYI, the little guy in the close ups has dried somewhat and it now looks like regular bluing. Whaddya you guys think?

Providing you properly pasteurized your casing layer, the best way to prevent contaminant molds is to provide plenty of air exchange. Pick the fruits and discard the tray or bury it outside. The fruits are fine. Cut the bases off the mushrooms before drying.
