I've seen this bastard take over two grows before 3rd flush and recently it attacked my best very rhizo PF-cakes before they produced ANY mature shrooms! Please help!

I saw this simultaneously on FCs that were in separate rooms. One cake looked much worse, it had a LOT of metabolites leaking from an area above this crap and it's large first set of pins died. :sad:


The other FC smelled like an old cellar for some time before (looked semi-healthy except for pins dying) but the other had no bad smell whatsoever. Both were attacked by cobweb before this but I caught it in early stages (?) and sprayed it, it didn't come back. Increased FAE to fanning every hour...


I don't know how fast it grew, it wasn't easy to spot before I took out the bad cake... probably when it wasn't seen it grew slowly because I was waiting about 2 weeks for the first pins to mature! I haven't gotten any big flushes since my first grow :mad2:

(threw all cakes away immediately :crying: it grew on small patches)

EDIT: maybe it is oedocephalum? :confused:

Bump... My new jars are done :regularshroom: If I knew what this is maybe I can better try to prevent it this time.

I tried to find clear pics of brownish molds for comparison but no luck :shrug:

There's several possibilities, but it's hard to positively ID molds from pictures. It is mold though, and standard mold prevention techniques of rinsing before and after the dunk and roll, then good air exchange during fruiting. Molds love the stale air commonly found in sealed up terrariums.

I see... thanks for the advice :heart:  I'll use my bigger FC and fan more this time.

Luckily breathing in the stuff before I noticed it didn't do anything :crazy:
