Eggs? Beneficial microbes? What’s in this pot?

[Cookie Rider]

Seems I’m posting only bug issues these days….
Ran out of room and decided to toss my Critcal Mass mom.
Was growing well, just decided I needed the space.
Unwrapped the air pot and this is what I’ve found.
Any idea what this is/was?
Should I be tossing the rest that where sharing a tent?

 

[Cookie Rider]

Very root bound.

Looks like precipitate from fertilizer. I wouldn't toss anything unless you see something actually resembling mold on a plant and then only if it's already flowering.

 

[hotrodharley]

Actually it looks like worn perlite.

 

[myke]

Its a fungus,pretty sure.White mould or something.

Mycelium?

 

[Cookie Rider]

Could be ferts buildup but looks like eggs of some kind of alien.
There was perlite on top so there’s that for sure.

 

[myke]

Mycelium?

No,Ill see if I can find anything about it.

That's weird. I thought when it comes to soil(at least living organic), fungus is a good thing.

Sclerotium delphinii or Fuligo Septica?

 

[myke]

Sclerotium root rot. maybe?

 

[Hollatchaboy]

Sounds like scrotum. Lol

I think I've heard of Fuligo called slime mold too.

When wondering what is mycelium one must learn about the importance of the role mycelium plays in mycology, plant pathology, and mushroom cultivation.

Mycelium is common with us organic people,fuzz on the surface or santas beard.
Not sure if yours is related,did you feed any organic sugars to the coco?

I’m not 100% sure but I would say that’s mold. I’m no mold specialist or anything like that, but if that was on my food I’d throw it out or if it was on her cooter I wouldn’t eat it just saying but again not a mold specialist.

I always think it looks like a bunch of cotton balls that have been spread out and lasted on top of the soil. Lol

When I first fed my earthbox, I pulled back the top 3 days later, and you couldn't see the surface of the soil. At all. It was completely covered in a thick mat of mycelium. Then the bloom ended and it looked like wet, dirty, snow. Lol

If it's on her cooter, run! Lol

Put a bunch of that in a dish and pour some vinegar on it. Tell us what happens.
