What's this yellowish stuff in grain jar?

[gnostic19]

This is winter wheat berry that i've spawned before and have incubating in other jars. I've haven't seen anything this suspicious in other jars, though. Anything to concern myself with?

This is the slang term. It's usually either referred to as metabolites or antibiotics. I'm a fan of the latter.

Yep, no worries there friend your good to go!

I've never know a fungus to produce an antibiotic (molds maybe - i.e. penicillin). Metabolite is the correct term.

On the contrary, there's quite a few mushrooms that are excellent sources of antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, and antitumor compounds. Here's a few:

Scleroderma citrinum

Albatrellus ovinus

Leucopaxillus gentianeus

Fistulina hepatica

"antibacterial fungal metabolites" as a google search will bring up quite a few examples as well....

edited to add: I think its important to point out that if you follow those links you will see normal looking mushrooms, no funny chemi-liquid being exuded like the mycellium piss in question.

[Irishlion]

mycelium piss or metabolites - the metabolic byproducts of mycelial respiration or of the mycelium attempting to fight off a bacterial contaminate.

Also, Psilocybe Mushrooms do not produce antibotics as a bi product of respiration or fight off a bacterial contaminate.

[Beastmaster]

Mycopiss contributes to bacterial infection and is the result of a culture that has been incubated for too long. It is not a response to bacterial infection, nor is it antibacterial.

Some metabolites do have certain properties, however, such as the red liquid exuded by the bleeding hydnellum Hydnellum peckii but it contains an anticoagulant, not antibacterial. Slightly different I think, as this occurs on the fruitbody, and naturally, rather than a starving contained mycellium...

Yes beast, I concur...but still not an antibiotic

I never said the yellow metabolic sweat was antibiotic, in fact, I think I said it had the opposite effect:

It's been incubating for a month. So should i bother spawning? Some say no prob, others say fighting off bacteria, if i understand it right. Was going to do it tonight so might as well, i guess.

Spawn away!!! It should be just fine. Sending you some good vibes for a vast of fruits and great grow.

i feel it baby. Three winter wheat berries and one crushed corn. Kinda ran out of substrate there on the last WWB so may have to case it. I always have mixed spawn w/sub, some layer w/ sub on top. What you guys/gals do?

1 part spawn, 2 part sub, and no casing for cubies. That's how we roll G
