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

Nice job on the schooner glass tek <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_newimprovedwinkonclear.gif

I 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.gif

You 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!

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.

Definitely time for a first flush, if you knew what you were doing but probably not for your first grow.
