My first contamination :(
    #7701888 - 12/01/07 06:31 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Cobweb and trichoderma I presume? Both casings went straight into a plastic bag and the bag went straight to the trash. Moved the FC outside and nuked it with water/chlorine-solution. I have three cakes which were luckily in a both in my fridge when I noticed this. So hopefully they'll survive(?)

Any hints on what to do and what not to do when the cakes are dunked and ready for FC again? (in a couple of hours).

Rinse well after the dunk, and then roll in dry verm. I'd fruit cakes as cakes, not cased.

That does look a bit like cobweb on top and trich in the lower part of the picture. Lots of fresh air exchange is the key to avoiding molds. They prefer stale, still air, while mushroom mycelium prefers moving, fresh air.

Will do! The cakes are already rolled though. This will be the third flush.

Yeah, I had to hide my FC in my server room for a while (two days). It's hot (~26 C) and no ventilation what so ever. So I really begged for it this time.

I've done my best to clean the FC, and will bet putting the cakes back in now! Hopefully I'll get another flush from them without evil trich visiting.
