Hi! I'm wondering what's that on the pictures below.
FOAF said she has found somewhere these pictures of PE.
It supossed to be PE PF cake cased with coir.
Any ideas what's going on?

It could be fuzzy mycellium growing on the pins, but I've never seen it that bad. It's too bright for cobweb I think. Do you know the conditions of the terrarium? FAE? Humidity looks really high for a casing too.

did you use anything like lysol around them? could be some weird mutations.

dosent look like any contamn ive ever seen. guess your just going to have to wait and see if any real fruits come out.

adding some FAE couldnt hurt

BTW are those big drops of water sitting all over the myc? you deffinatly dont want drops of water on there it will lead to aborts and problems

[Nabby]

I'm gonna take a stab at this one... CO2 levels may be too high on this, leading to the grow favoring myc growth rather than fruits, and your humidity is probably way too high, as i can see so many water droplets all over the fruits, which can be quite bad. Also, don't forget that verticilium is common with PE. Up that FAE asap and things should still be alright.

Schizophyllum commune contamination.

I started a thread at the shroomery when I started noticing several reports of this contaminate at the shroomery and shroomtalk forums.

Sorry, but you will have to register and login to the shroomery to use this link.

Thanks for answers, RH is about 70 - 80, FAE is 6 - 8 a day.
And anything like lysol haven't been used.
So...
Are they ready for travel to garbage or can FOAF keep it and have sth out of it?
Thanks Workman :bow: -> I see my FOAF is very lucky lol :dead:

try just seperating it from anything else that you have going and keep the fresh air coming and hopefully everything will be ok

Thanks Hippie3, that is a really odd growth and I had no idea about it.
one of the pics shows a fruit growing out of it still so do they know what kind of effect it is having on the growth
