    Hi

    in some of our bags after about 5 weeks of incubation we could find honey-coloured water above the snow-white mycelium. Do you know if this is okay? What is the reason for this? (Please see attached picture)

    Thanks for your support in advance!

    Cheers

    Marco

    Hi Marco,

    I can delete the post if you wish? From the title it sounds like you were wondering what the yellow honey-coloured liquid in the bags was. Here’s a photo of something similar in the bag on the right:Yellow Waste Metabolite Liquid In Fully Colonised Bag

    The liquid is nothing to worry about it – it’s just waste metabolites that the mycelium produces as a byproduct whilst growing across the substrate. You can wash it away with water when you cut open the bags to fruit if you wish.

    Hope this helps.

    Best wishes,

    Adam

    i believe the liquid fights nematodes by paralyzing then for the mushrooms to consume. might be worth capturing this liquid to put on a garden or in compost.
