cubensis (Brazil) Overtaking Cunsuming mold? - Mushroom Cultivation (2024)

I made a spore syringe from a spore print from spores101. I then inoculated BRF cakes.

Started to get white growth within two days which alarmed me. After a week some other spots started growing that looked different.

The first signs of growth turned green but then rhizomorphic myc growth started in other areas.

First it surrounded the mold and spread slowing the mold growth. Then it colonized the rest of the substrate. Now it looks like it is growing over the green mold.

Is it possible that the cube myc starved the mold and is now consuming mold?



I just don't believe what I hope I am seeing!

Any other cases of this happening?

I'm going to fruit it in the shed in a mini milk bottle shot gun way.

It is possible for mycelium to outcompete mold in some cases, but fighting it will waste the mycelium's resources and on a little brf cake you will not get any fruits. Also the mold has already sporulated, so even opening that jar indoors without sterilizing it will risk contaminating your grow area.

No room for shortcuts in this hobby ... Toss it start fresh.

plant it in you backyard and cover with dried grass. it might thrive. but change your clothes and take a shower right after.
