overlayed, hard, mycelium question
    #9372588 - 12/05/08 01:34 PM (15 years, 3 months ago)

I have a jar that I birthed, BRF style, I dunked and rolled it, then went on vacation for 4 days, it had no light or heat during those days ....(I had no choice) now, it is back under the flourescent, in the chamber, high humidity, good temps....BUT! it is overlayed and hard as a rock, water will not penetrate it, it has grown 3 small, hard, shrooms (probably aborts) that had actual roots attached to them?? (not a hallucination)...has anyone ever heard of mycelium turning hard or shrooms with roots...the mycelium is healthy and has no bad smells, so i hate to throw it away..should I put it in the blender and maybe put a casing layer on it, its not contamed in any way, its just that there is no way to get water to the inside of this chunk...i could take a picture and let you see what im saying...what would you do with something like that and has anyone ever heard of this condition?...jelly b.

Is it really light? I mean like a cork when you throw it into the water? I'd seriously consider redunking it. Just because you don't see the water penetrating it doesn't mean that the mycelium can't absorb it. It shouldn't behave like a sponge in the first place. How does it smell? Still shroomy and myceliumlike? Then it's most likely not too late. Not after 4 days anyways. The problem is, if it was sitting out in the open and it was rather cool, the cake will most likely have been exposed to very low RH. Just try it. Dunk for 24 and see if you can revive it. If not, toss it and start over. It's just a BRF cake.
