Trich will look like another layer over the myc with a different texture. Myc can bruise blue/green. If it looks like the myc is blue or green it could be bruising, but if it's a layer of green on top of the myc it's trich. I think you will know because it will take over your whole cake quickly if it's trich.

i didnt use a p/c, could only find an 8qrt for like $50, so i just pot a big pot at target, and used drinking glasses instead of jars. couldnt find any jars that didnt taper at the top. brouuht pot with water to full boil, then simmered for like almost 2 hours. every where i read said 90mins but since i was using a pot and glasses, figured id go a lil longer.. i used some jar lids on the bottom of pot with a layer of foil, and then a few more lidsontop of foil. the lids touchin the bottom of pot got a little burnt and stainded the pot a lil,but i bought the pot for this purpose so its not a big deal.

i didnt get any contam in any of my jars(glasses) made 6 and they r grownig.......when i knocked them up i did it in my shower. it was cleaned the day before then i put all my stuff in there sprayed all of it down with lysol like 2-3 times. went in with latex gloves and a mask. oh and when the pot was done boiling i let it cool and taped the lid down,so it wouldn't come off or i wouldnt accidently take the lid off,less of a chance of contam, is what i was thinking.

Man that would be awesome. I use to love tripping in the wood, especially during a full moon with just a little snow on the ground. Like late winter/early spring after a light dusting of snow, but isn't freezing cold. It's so bright with the moonlight reflecting off the snow you almost don't even need a flashlight to get around. They were some good times. The way the trees move in the breeze with the light of the flickering fire makes them literally look like they are dancing. My one friend used to swear they were talking to each other. There's something about being in the woods around a camp fire amongst friends that to me strikes the core of what it is to be human. You can almost feel the connection between yourself and our ancestors who've taken the same voyage for thousands and thousands of years. I'm not an overly spiritual person, so the experience has always been even more profound I think. No surprise they thought they were experiencing visions and revelations from their gods.

here are the last three cakes.

the other 9 cakes have been flushed for their first time and have been dunked and rolled and now are poppin pins like crazy!!!!
i just flushed one of the last three cakes and its dunked right now.
the other two cakes shown in image 2 need a few more days to gain girth ;)
the crop from 9 cakes dried is 17.7 grams, first flush.
(that's discluding an 8th and a bunch of aborts which i will write a trip report soon from)
i did not roll but i did dunk their first round but i now know that i need to roll my cakes :mrgreen:

the 3rd image is the amount of freshly picked GT that i got off the cake on the 1st image.
this cake had a double casing layer of verm.
It weighed out to 35.6 fresh. not bad....

i admit that the other previous cakes were less if you do the math.
but i am improving on some things and it is helping ten fold.
such as: dunk AND ROLL, moved the FC to a better room for temp and cleanliness, and have the time to spray and FAE more often during the day/night.

the dunk and roll is completely 110% necessary. read this whole thread and its proof that it helps.

casing layers = two thumbs up

enjoy the pix!

Heatless,

I've never attempted this, but have been READING A LOT!! I have my first shipment of spores coming from micro-supply. My question is how do you distinguish between the blueish bruising from the handling of the mycelia and potential contamination? I was a little concerned for you after looking at the pictures you posted on page 12 and 14. I hope the blue green is just bruising, maybe it's more obvious in person? Good luck!! Your mushrooms look AMAZING, BTW!!! Thanks for your input!
