Fruiting stage

[bubblesup]

First time I have seen my cakes during fruiting stage develop fluffy white bellows with crystals like. Any thought is it good or bad. I do have one mushroom growing though.  Thanks

In my experience, "fluffy white" is the cobweb mold. I had a bad infestation while trying to use a new humidification setup. It grows on the cakes at first, then takes over the bases of the mushrooms.

I took out my cakes, washed them, sanitized the container, replaced my perlite, and used scissors to cut chunks out of the cakes where I saw any mold. After a couple days, I cut up the cakes again. My yield was down, but I still got some usable medicine.

google cobweb mold and see if that is your problem.

Best of luck!
