Casing from 8 days ago
    #8034304 - 02/17/08 11:18 AM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Does this casing look like it should? First time grower, just wanting some reassurance. Seems like it's taking an awfully long time. It's from 9 days ago. Temp. stays around 70-74. Humidity at 95%. I fan + mist 2-3 times daily. Also my fruiting chamber is built kind of like a monotub. It's got holes w/ polyfill for FAE.

Green is never good to see. That casing looks very very moldy to me.

Your tub and perlite should provide adequate humidity and FAE, so you shouldn't have to mist and fan. That's probably why it got contaminated so badly. Misting and fanning is necessary for aquarium fruiting chambers that don't provide humidity and FAE.

Throughly clean and sterilize the tub with bleach. Bake the perlite in the oven to sterilize it, 350 for an hour or two should do it. Also, add some hydrated lime to your next casing mixture to raise the pH and make it more hostile to mold.

If you have a spot in your yard where you can do this, dig a shallow hole to dump that contaminated grow. Dump it green-side down, cover with an inch or two of soil, and you might just still get some.

misting and fanning are a must in preventing molds in the fruiting chamber perlite and a tub isnt enough you need to fan 3 times or more daily.

So, should I fan or not fan? From what i've read, the more FAE the better. Also, the casing doesn't really look that green in person. I think i'm gonna wait a couple more days before I toss it.

yes fan but make sure you have the right humidity in the fruiting chamber.i would toss that it looks so green and if you keep it, it will contam other projects or atleast make it harder to avoid contamination

it doesn't look green, it looks like vermiculite to me. you guys are being fooled by lighting i think. so long as you let it colonize first, then spread your vermiculite, i'd wait it out. don't trash till you see something for sure.

ok, i zoomed in on the pic and it does look a little suspicious. especially the top left and right, and some stuff going on in the center.
