Clear gel hairs. Seriously. WTF?

Yeah, so... AFOAF... really, showed my his (used to be mine, but I gave it too him because it had a good case of cobweb, and I didn't want cross contamination) casing. It's rye cased w/50/50... Treasure Coast.
He sent me a shitty picture, and from what I could see, not only was his pinset/flush WAY better than mine, it looked fine. It kinda pissed me off, because he keeps it in a walmart bag, and just opens, then closes it a few times a day... I have a FC that took me a while to build. Anyhow... here is what he wanted to show me:

Now what the fark is that? It's only on the bases, and looks like clear gel hairs. Really weird. No bad smells... nothing looks too off... other than the fact that if you saw the whole thing and understood he knows NOTHING about growing shrooms, the pinset is fucking awesome. Any ideas on the clear gel hairs?

I am pretty sure thats just mycelium. I have aten freshly harvested shrooms that had the "hairs" on them with no ill effect.
You should wait for some one to verify that what your friend has it ok though.

They aren't "hairs" that you are thinking of. They aren't fuzzy... they are like a clear gel spike, large at the base, coming to a point at the end... like a bunch of clear gel-like witches hats.
I have been looking around the contam forum for pictures, but cannot find anything like it. I definitely wouldn't eat them unless I can get a concise answer on this one.
They aren't fuzzy... they aren't anything resembling mycelium. I just harvested some Treasure Coast casings and they all had the "fuzz" going halfway or farther up their stipes. Different all together. Thanks for any help!

Your picture doesn't show much, but search 'verticillium' and see if it matches what you have. Here's a picture of verticillium on a button mushroom. Note the peeling of the tissue. More air exchange is required if so. RR

Well, verticillium doesn't seem to be it. H2O2 was sprayed, with no effect. From what I read it will dissolve, like cobweb. Here are some more pictures, maybe this will help.




I will continue to search, as this bugs me that I can't figure it out!!! Thank you for your help!

it's mycelium.
fight it all you want, but that's the right answer...
well I guess in my opinion. that is NOT a contamination. it's normal.
with lots of experience you'll see that hundreds of times. increase your air exchange.

Yea, the brighter picture showed it well. Some strains just do that. It's not a problem. RR
