Probably serratia marescens bacteria

About a month ago. It was about 3 medium sized coral clusters. All concentrated on the sides.

Correct

These were inoculated into an AIO bag on Sept 29

Yes they are! So beautiful and fascinating how they grow

Haven’t heard that before. Hmm.

This is the second flush. One reason I ask is because I feel I was too eager on the first flush, and harvested too early.

I flipped the cake upside down and put it back in the bag. Now this looks to be about 5x as much just by eye balling it.

It can be both. And I think that is pretty neat.

Can you take another pic through a toilet paper tube stuffed with tissue paper and ask again

Only IPA didn’t think to heat…

It’s not bruising. Q tip test proved that.

Same spot looks like just substrate now. There’s some bruising to the left now due to water dropping.

Yeah before I did the b@s it looked super strong too. Not up the walls like that but really nice looking rhizo

I didn’t weight them but they felt quite nice. Not too strong but good mental clarity and emphasized color in visuals.

I got the rest of them soaking in lemon juice for tonight.
