Blue-Green Spot on Stem
    #9262578 - 11/17/08 08:18 PM (15 years, 4 months ago)

Long time lurker.  What does this spot look like?  Contam?  Too much humidity?  Poor FAE?

That's bruising. Sometimes it happens if your humidity is a bit low.

that bruising looks like someone handled the mushroom or bumped it against something while moving around

I second what Brennus said. But the cause of the bruising is not clear. You might have low humidity, as Brennus said, but it also might be any number of things.

What I found lately is that a lot of so called "strains" been horrifically inbred resulting in all kinds of deformities and ugliness and readily bruising fruit bodies.

If you tell us more about what you grow and how someone might have a better idea on how to avoid this in the future.

Thanks for all the quick responses.

Humidity is definitely not too low.  Most stems have been fuzzy/fluffy near the base- apparently a sign of too much humidity.  This is a 3rd flush, dunked twice.  There is always condensation on the sides/top of the FC. 

Bumped early on is a possibility.  One or two other fellas have had this on previous flushes, and their growth became stunted, so they were plucked and pitched.  I'm more curious than anything.

It was originally a bagged rye/verm mix, now in a FC with 1/16" holes.  Temp is probably lower than ideal, and light is extremely limited.

My crazy theory:  The mushroom connected to it is leaching some moisture out of the bruised one, hence why it looks all dehydrated near the bottom.    I noticed the exact same thing happen to one pair of my shrooms, that had the same wishbone shape or, horse shoe shape whatever it is.

edit: that is also my unsure reasoning for most aborts, because most of them tend to happen at the base of larger shrooms and/or clusters where there might be some immideate h2o competition.

No, the other mushroom cannot really do anything bad to its brother. Besides, these orange-brown specs look suspicious. Any update as to how this mushroom looks today?

Wow- you guys have great response etiquette.

Here are today's pics.  Looks like it spread a little.  It kinda looks zombified.  The cap looks a little sickly compared to its bro.

Also, on a related note:  what causes mushrooms to droop?  Too much weight/moisture?  Grew too quickly?  Weak strain?  Light coming from all sides rather than from above (clear FC sides w/ opaque top)?

These later flushes have all been droopers, compared to the first, which grew vertically.

This looks more and more like a Pseudomanas bacterial blotch. Try dropping the humidity a bit, but it is likely to spread. I'd recommend harvesting healthy ones as soon as possible, discarding the rest and sanitizing your grow chamber really well.

See here for more info on common contaminants.

In case anyone was curious, the offender has been picked, and its insides were pure white- no squishy or gooey anything.  Now being dried, and area will probably be cut off.

That was the best thing you could have done.  I personally didn't see any bacterial blotch, but I'd keep a close eye on the rest of the grow.
