Black Fine Powdery Carbon like growth - help please
    #8059813 - 02/23/08 10:38 AM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Hi All Shroomers,

Am experiencing a problem with a fine black powdery like growth that infiltrates the cake in the jar whilst colonizing. The cake has an acrid odour when you birth it. Occassional spindly shrooms grow on colonized areas inspite of the black growth. Has anybody seen or experienced this type of problem and what is the ultimate solution please? PS: every jar appears to be affected in some stage of colonization. Growth Room size is plus minus 200 jars at a time. Many Thanks in Anticipation.
MRDJ

Sounds like Black Mould..... That's bad for you and your grows.

You don't want to breathe in those black spores. They can make you sick.

And you NEVER want to open a contaminated jar in or around your grow area- that covers the room in TONS of spores, making your sterile procedures in the future much more difficult.

Always throw away or bury in the back yard, anything that has any black mould on it.

I recommend throughly disinfecting your grow room- wipe everything down in isopropyl alcohol or bleach, and spray the hell out of the air with Oust.

You may have to be EXTREMELY sterile for all future grows, if you want to successfully grow mushrooms. No skipping steps.

Black powdery growth is usually Mucor, and as said, it's dangerous to breathe. You should toss out any cake that it shows up on immediately. . .Never birth.
