First Grow, Possible Contam . . .
    #7769025 - 12/17/07 11:20 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

First of all, seeing as this is my first post, THANK YOU to everyone who takes the time and effort to help the new growers achieve their goals. The Shroomery has made this possible for me and many others . . .

It seems unfortunate that my first post, however, needs to end up in the contamination forum. Please tell me what you guys think . . .



The caps are a bluish/gray color and at first, I thought it may just be bruising, but I find the more I think about it, the more worried I get. Maybe it's bacterial blotch? Although all of the pics I've seen with the blotch look a lot more gross than these . . .
Maybe its nothing, maybe its something I didn't even know about . . .

Opinions would be greatly appreciated.

My FC is a rubbermaid tub with lots of holes poked in every side. I have three inches of perlite at the bottom. My RH is at 90% (I know I should bring it up, but I can't quite seem to do it and my cakes keep pinning nonetheless . . .)

Thanks again!

Your substrate is too dry, as is the air inside the terrarium. The scaling on the caps indicates low humidity. Make sure your perlite was rinsed well, and then drained before placing in the terrarium. Fluff it up with your fingers so it's loose and airy. Raking some mountains and valleys into the perlite will also increase surface area. Try to get the humidity into the mid 90's.
