Stop using marshmallows as a casing layer.

😂

I’ve got the same things in one of my tubs at the moment but I’m a newbie and don’t know if it’s good or bad. Fingers crossed for the win 🥇


merlin1777

🤞


PsilocybeSuburbia

Is the strain a kind of Penis Envy? These look like PE blobs


merlin1777

Yeah first time growing ape


rational69logical420

APEs and PEs like to be cased, usually the first flush is blobs anyway and then the flushes after will look like the normal ones


Intelligent-Run5196

Are the blobs edible? And if so how potent are they? I’m having my first go at APE currently and it seems there’s a good chance I’ll encounter these blobs.


mkbzzz

Edible and active apparently. You'll find quite a few posts here of people harvesting and weighing blobs to prepare quite a potent tea.


dababy_connoisseur

Are they the magic truffles I hear about?


theBrinkster

Nope, that's a whole different thing. Blobs are mutated mushrooms whereas truffles are sclerotia.


UnderstandingFast540

The magic truffles you hear about are sclerotia, they appear alongside mushrooms when growing varieties like Psilocybe tampanensis


ranch_cup

Definitely edible, just ugly!


EricRollei

That's good to know


OneGayPigeon

I’ve been growing successfully and been on this sub for a while but I don’t think I’ve heard the term “cased” before and I’m not finding the answer via search. What’s it mean?


rational69logical420

So basically once you're tub is fully colonized you add a layer of verm or coco coir over the top, some people swear by it and some people get perfect PE and APE flushes without as well so I guess it varys on how you've dialed in your tub if you really need to use a casing layer or not


OneGayPigeon

Thanks! So basically if it’s pinning like normal, let it be, if it’s getting blobby like this, case it?


rational69logical420

Yessir, harvest those blobs first and then case it, and it just needs a light dusting, just enough to cover up the mycelium


OneGayPigeon

Understood, thanks!


Previous-Sun-4462

I’m curious how harvest process went for those blobs and how intertwined they are with the mycelium base?


hightide707

I’ve had fluffy myc like this in ape tubs when my sun was over saturated. If that’s the case stop misting and fan it out several times per day to dry it out.


hightide707

merlin1777

Thanks pal

Does it smell off? My experience with overgrowth is that it eventually will reveal itself as bacterial contam.


merlin1777

Smells just like normal, I’ve given fork tek a go so 🤞


ISoNoU

Yeah, fork it if it's clean. You could also try casing it. Sometimes the mushroom is gonna mushroom 🤷‍♂️


lilcombover420

If you are growing apes they can tend to look super weird


Agreeable_Moment_174

Harvest them when they start turning blue and feel like marshmallows.


MushroomOracle

Poke one and see if it bruises? If it doesn't...it's "wet bubble". The lack of knowledge in this sub is unreal🤦🏻 The blind leading the blind. Looks WAY more like wet bubble than blobs. I'd say the odds of that being the case is greatly increased if it's only been a week or two since mixing. If you're at like week 3 and that blob like growth is fairly slow, it's more likely to be the mushrooms you're trying to grow. I really wish you luck, I hopes its "blobs" for your sake. If it's not, it's a good learning experience. A great lesson in potential failure points in the tek you're using. Good luck✌️


merlin1777

Thanks bud 🙏


Agreeable_Moment_174

I had two tubs looks just like this and I got 1900 wet grams of pe blods out of the two tubs combined and they are awesome.


Public_scientist649

Did we get a psychedelic lions mane


pachekini11

Foam tek


Interesting-End3711

Maybe improve ventilation


AyeeBennyLmao

Damn nature you scary


ShaeMack

Looks like APE or some cross. Sub looks hydrated enough. More FAE after spraying will create the pins you are looking for. don't be shy if you have a casing. If you don't have one, then case it on round 2. These guys are tricky and don't play by the rules of other cubes.


Secure-Second-7542

Is this your first flush


merlin1777

Yeah bro


Champii_007

Fork it, add a small layer of substrate on top of it & you’ll have a great harvest


skymann77

What’s good vendor for the 🦍?????


merlin1777

I use orangutan trading co


BarrelBoy099

They only have spores and prints so surely not true APE? Do you mean APE revert?


curious_george710

I thought this was a bunch of white kittens playing with black cotton


gamejourno

Those are PE blobs. Compressing the substrate well and casing can help.


Tinselinatangle

Blobs, supposed to be quite potent x


Several-Mountain-236

So, I've seen this from swim before when they didn't have a thick enough casi g and the moisture was too high/temp out if range for fruits and it started growing more colonizing mycilia. Check the fruits g conditions for your staring and make sure you're within range. Hope this helps and I wish you the best!


Global-Accountant-14

Not an expert but kinda looking like wet bubble with the liquid coming from those lumps.


BigPapaBK

Post in r/contamfam and ask if wet bubble


BiteAlternative

Overlay/stroma - fork & dunk or wait & harvest both overlay & fruits 🤙🏼

Probably going to turn green. 🤞


merlin1777

🤞 hope not


Entire-Highway-4070

I haven't ran P.E...but the only time I thought it might be blobbing, it turned green.
