| ha, a mycologist I am actually. Looks like Aspergillus/Penicillin for sure. What is that? That is some crazy growth dude! |

| Yes. It should be a uniform whitish color. If not, throw it out. It's better to get a dozen glass jars filled with an appropriate substrate, and inoculate all of them. You are bound to have a few contaminated with some kind of mold or bacteria. You just have to throw it out. |

It's a p cub strain from Thailand apparently. That particular cake was on its third-fourth yield, which is why I think there's so much pinhead action. At least I was able to get something out of it before it got pwnt. Out of four jars inoculated, two didn't grow at all (they were a dif strain and I suspect the spores were too old) and two did. Of the two that did one is a half pint jar, the other a full pint. The half pint fully colonized, fruited twice, was dunked for twelve hours a second time and fruited a third time before the full pint jar was even fully colonized. Hopefully the 20 or so hours in the same grow chamber with the small cake pictured above didn't the larger cake too, which has yet to pin since being birthed (although a few small mushrooms and aborts grew in the jar prior to birthing.)
I tossed it like you guys said, although I dug at it with a fork and the mold didn't permeate the mycelium at all. It was just growing on the vermiculite layer on the outside and on some pinheads.
At one point I thought it was screwed because the mycelium of the entire smaller cake turned blueish, however it was determined to be bruising and actually fixed itself.
This is my first time successfully birthing and fruiting. I've tried one other time and both jars became contaminated before fully colonizing.
Lastly, fungus is funny stuff. |
