what exactly is going on here.. is that a cased straw spawn?
if so, that looks like a pretty ineffective casing layer..

there is plenty of food there to my looking .. now .. is that freshly spawned or post incubation .. cos the white dots half azz look like hyphal knots but could be colonized wbs .. it can happen a sub looks not fully colonized on top but has knots on the surface .. i cant tell in those

As of right now it's been in my martha for about 4-5 days I'm guessing they are hyphal knots but I wasn't sure

that looks bad... next time you need to chop ur straw.. you need to have it as flat as possible(no pieces sticking out) that is a huge contamination risk ... next time chop ur straw into 1 to 3 inch pieces. and if you can not do that you need to use something to hold it all together until it colonizes... recomendation use chopped straw with poo..

I agree, and you should flatten out your surface as much as possible for even pinsets....

Now that I think about it it does pose a big risk for contams. We'll see what happens. I'll try and post pics of how it pins later and I'll remember to completely cover next time. Thanks guys. Any ideas on the coolmist vs ultrasonic. What do you guys use?
