switched grain
    #7910348 - 01/21/08 04:24 PM (16 years, 11 days ago)

recently i switched from deluxe WBS to bird basics WBS
the bird basics brand is faster than my previous brand...
but im seeing something quite different

After shaking the jars usually only spots of colonization occur
but this time after i shook the jars
literally every single piece of birdseed is starting to colonize
it looks like hyphal knots on every piece of seed

Its only like this with one of the strains im using, its either PE or TEX
the other jars look normal with random spots starting to colonize

Is this normal

Well, if every single grain is getting white and fluffy at the same time, then it sounds like contams, but without a picture it's impossible to say for sure.

no its mycelium - after i shook these babies got done in 3-4 days.

i VIGOROUSLY shake my jars, turning them end over end many times
im thinkign the mycelium was just distributed everywhere
and all the grain is exploding because of the perfect water content

there is literally not a single piece of grain without
little hyphal knot like dots of mycelium on them
(this is only one strain though)

no smell at all.
