Cultivation / Weird black kind of prints on perlite
April 11, 2008, 10:12:20 AM
This is the 2nd flush after the dunk procedure. Just a few shrooms have grown out of the cake and on the 4th day I found kind of black dust prints on the perlite layer. Looks a bit scary... Shroomies were growing like mad, each is bout 6 inch long (15 cm). I fanned them this morning and no prints were there.
What are the prints? Can the shrooms be dried and used as usual?
I'm going to dunk the cake again.
It's impossible to attach the picture here and the gallery is gone.

Thank you for such prompt and articulate answer!
Should I try taking the foil away for a few hours to reduce the level of humidity? Do you think the rest of my jars are hopeless?
It seems shroom growing is a pretty precise procedure. Now I know. Had to sacrifice a syringe of B+.  :rolleyes:

It's been 3 weeks since the inoculation, 2 jars out of 5 showed signs of something a bit weird...
Does it look ok? It's B+ strain.
I tried to post the pictures here, but it doesn't seem to work, so I placed them in the gallery. There are several pics titled "3 weeks"
I seem to have made 2 main mistakes: 1) too much water in the beginning preparing BRF+vermi+water mix; 2) when inoculating, I pointed the needle towards the center of the jar, not towards its side, plus perhaps didn't stick the needle deep enough.
So what can be done now?
