Can someone ID this white stuff causing surrounding shrooms to bruise/turn blue?

gnostic19 · 06-02-09, 23:49

I have this cake in teh FC for a little over tw oweeks now. I already got most of my first flush off of it. I flipped it over to find a little grouping with some white fuzz going on in the middle of it. Is this regular old myc or something else? Notice the pins that are blue around it...is it bruising? I've had it sitting on a baby bottle lid for a coup[le of days to allow bottom pins some room. Is this bruising or something associated with the fuzzy stuff?

Those are aborts .Go ahead and pick them off the cakes and save them potent suckers for a treat.The blue your seeing is not contamination its some kind of bruising .

those are aborts no?

and the fuzzy stuff is mycellium from high humidity.

those things are TINY. I didn't even see them with naked eye. I'm using a macro lens for those suckers. I thought about dunking half way for 8 hours with shroom end above water and seeing if they sprout up overnight. Dumb idea?

Yeah dont do that.Pick the cakes clean,then do the dunk.

I would mist (really fine mist) the cakes really good to try to get some moisture in them. The blueing could be from drying out. Pile some wet verm under them if it isnt there already

Until they all look to be bluing out I wouldnt pick em. Is most of the cake like that or just the one spot?

just the one spot. The bigger ones have grown a bit since last night when pic was taken.

Is the one spot close to a hole or something giving airflow? Might just be drying out that spot. I had something similar happen in a monotub where it was just drying out around 1 of the holes.

But if the rest are doing well and you aren't growing mold, let the flush finish, harvest and then dunk.

And the white hairy stuff is all good all my lil guys have that to some degree.
