vinigar smell
    #7843078 - 01/07/08 11:08 AM (16 years, 25 days ago)

I have discovered a weird smell in my TiT last night, this morning I did a little investigating and found out that it was a bag of hpoo that I had spawning to a pint of WBS, the bag is growing mycileum just fine, but it has this vinager smell. I did some searching and found out that this means the hpoo is fermenting,

Its about a lb of hpoo, here is a recent pic



It is damn near done colonization, and if I read everything right fermentation is not a serious contam. I was thinking a good course of action would be to remove it from the bag and spread it out in a tray. more FAE maybe?

plz help

FAE will fix that up. The smell is from acetobacteria feeding on the alcohols in the mushroom's metabolites. Over time they will sicken and kill a culture but if you act quickly with the FAE to evaporate the alcohols there is usually no harm done.

Get that thing out of the TIT. The mycelium produces heat as it grows, and the incubator is heating it up even more, stimulating the bacterial bloom.
