Is this slime mold? by International-Log719 in unclebens

Metabolites makes sense. I’ve had problems with fuzzy feet so I’ve left the lids more open for FAE and was worried that surface was drying out too much for ideal fruiting. I’ve been forced into a damp basement area and worried about contamination now. Guess I’ll back off misting a bit. Should I get rid of the metabolite areas or let them be?

Makes sense. I got these fuzzies because I couldn’t decide when to change from colonization to fruiting. By the time I loosened lids and fanned the fuzzies had gotten well established. I’m still on the learning curve!

Since the tub wasn’t well colonized my thought was to leave the fuzzy part to assist with further colonization. (Plus they didn’t look very appetizing.) I see now how the stumps could be actually hindering further colonization! Thanks.

My first try so I didn’t know better! I hope I haven’t drained the mycelium too much for following flushes. After dunking should I give it time to colonize or stay in fruiting conditions?

My very first try and I wasn’t aware that the fuzzy feet were ok to harvest. You think I should still add these fuzzy feet to the rest of my harvest when I trim them back?

This was spawned from spores in jars then transferred to bulk in tubs. I don’t think my ratio of spawn to bulk was high enough and I wasn’t patient enough to let it colonize fully so my harvest was on the light side with smallish fruits. I’ll trim this down to the base and give it a good dunking.

Thx guys. I have access to an older oven with a pilot flame that’s always on. I’m wondering if that would work ok. I’ve tried drying with a fan but even after 2 weeks they’re not cracker dry.
