Ace Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Wow dude - I hope your computer desk is nice and sterile Yeah they arent the bst pics, but it seems to be all good. It'll be much easier to tell when you case it if its a nasty. I recently got a bit of cobweb mould on a verm/BRF cake cased with 50:50 verm/peat moss. Looks like little whispy cobwebs above the casing... You'll be able to tell the difference I'm sure. Normal myc looks like a nice fluffy white - not whispy strands.Also, smell it - if its similar to what a storebought mushie smells like - you're fine. If it smells fruity, musty or anything other than shroomy, you'll know its a contam.Hope that helps Ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerbil Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 yah looks pretty myc-ish to me. What's all the brownish bits? Uncolonised? Myc whizz??hehe just take a step back from the cake when taking pictures, it's focusing on the background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 What's all the brownish bits?My guess would be the vermiculite in the cake...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenris Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 It looks all good to me.Are you going to crumble the cake up and case it? or fruit direct from the cake?In my limited experience, the casing seems to work much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Go the Casing!! 50:50 verm:peat moss is the best bet!

mescalito Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) Nice job on the schooner glass tek <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_newimprovedwinkonclear.gifI take it this is a brf/verm cake?You can do straight rice cakes the same way too and they'll fruit straight from the cake.I feel the extra water held in the rice helps with weight but not necessarily to the tastiness <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_newimprovedwinkonclear.gifYou can also get greater yields by crumbling the cake/s and spawning to pasteurised straw into small(300x150x100mm)black plastic tubs($2.50 each at warehouse type cheap-shops).Alternatively straight casing into aluminium lasagne trays works great!(verm dressing right up to the lid <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_newimprovedwinkonclear.gif )With the tub method, you do need to top dress each case with dry verm,cover with foil and incubate again...yeah it takes another week or two to colonise the straw but the yield increases dramatically due to the fact that you have more casings and the added fuel of the cellulite from the straw.My favourite teks <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_biggrin.png Edited February 15, 2007 by mescalito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyAmine. Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Something I have found when fruiting form cakes is to wait until you start to see some pin formation through nthe glass before you birth the cake, that way your exposing it to the outside environment for the minimum ammount of time.
