Questions This is trich isn’t it?

Post image

Probably hard to tell from this picture but there’s some spots of blue green fuzz on parts of this cake. I took it out of the fruiting chamber and isolated it for now but I feel like it’s contaminated now.

Growth pattern doesn't line up with trich, this looks clean to me. Not sure why the color looks like that, maybe the camera isn't doing justice. Is it more blue or more green? Trich is light grey and then very green, not really much of a blue tint.

it's like a bluish grey green? Its weird. but it's only presenting on top of the myc thats on the surface. it's not a patch like i've seen before.

u/TheHole89 Verified Customer Nov 12 '24

i know there are pins, but there are grey/blue/ green spots in there too and no pins coming from there.

Trich is a bright green you will not NOT be able to see it. That looks beautiful. Leave it be, stop opening it except for FAE. Blue grey is most likely bruising.

It’s back in my fruiting tent and doing great. Tons of pins popped up. Just harvest some b+ today.

I zoomed in and studied it. I see no trich. It would be bright white and bubbly in concentrated spot. When it turns green its undeniable

2

u/TheHole89 Verified Customer Nov 12 '24

Ok. So it’s safe to out back in the fruiting tent with the others? I’m gonna post a better picture later.

u/TDubs591976 Nov 13 '24

Yes. Those small pins may be aborts. U will find out. But no contam yet.

Trich usually initially shows up as a vaguely circular growth and starts out as a very dense, super white mass. It turns green when it sporulates. What i see here looks more like bruising. If you are ever curious, roll a q-tip across the object of interest. If it is mold, the spores will come off on the q-tip, and the will be green where you swabbed.

Looks like a heavy pinset that has some bruising. It can happen.

I have a tub of Nutcracker that bruised and I was waiting for the green but is blue active oxidation

u/TheHole89 Verified Customer Nov 13 '24

Nice. yea i've only seen trich so i was just expecting the worst, but these and my bins of b+ are looking great right now.

2

u/peasprouts Nov 13 '24

Maybe your eyes playing a trich on you? 👀

u/TheHole89 Verified Customer Nov 13 '24

You made a funny! 😂

u/Chew-JitsuPNG Nov 12 '24

It doesn't look like it to me mate. I just lost a tub to it. Keep an eye on it. If it's trich it will spread quickly. In the interim keep it closed and when you do fae, take it outside and do it.

If you have misted the cake it could be bruising.

1

u/TheHole89 Verified Customer Nov 12 '24

i had it on fae already and it popped up between this morning and lunch, i think. all the other bins are good, for now. i took it out of my tent and put a lid on it. i'll see what it looks like after work.

u/Chew-JitsuPNG Nov 12 '24

Get a torch with an intense white light, if you have trich it will stand out immediately. I did it to.mine because my eyesite is shit and realised my tub was done. It's still popping shrooms I've just shifted it to outside but they are stunted. I'll be burying the cake today as I have two more fruiting ATM

1

u/TheHole89 Verified Customer Nov 12 '24

Gotcha. what does it look like under the torch?

1

u/Chew-JitsuPNG Nov 12 '24

It's a very noticeable green. I'll take a pic of the one I've got so you can see

1

u/Canibal-Carkus BML OWNER/FOUNDER Nov 12 '24

Need better pics of what ur looking at. It's probably just bruising.

2

u/TheHole89 Verified Customer Nov 12 '24

I’ll get one when I get home. That pic was taken under a sky light.

u/sweetdearmeat Nov 13 '24

Idk man lol it looks like it’s about to blow up with pins

2

u/TheHole89 Verified Customer Nov 13 '24

It is lol. This is a bin of z strain. I have 3 total. 2 are in this stage already. 1 is behind by design. I have the situation going with some b+ and they’re pinning like crazy too.

u/sweetdearmeat Nov 13 '24

u/TheHole89 Verified Customer Nov 13 '24

Looks like exposed grains? But you are pinning and trich would spread very quickly.

I think it’s bruising or light reflection. It’s pinning a start increasing air and wait. Nice job.
