Mycorrhizae, Mycellium, or what is this stuff.....check it out.

[GOOROO]

Granted this is in coco, with canna a + b but this is clearly something living and I have seen it at multiple locations when I did soil and now am seeing it occasionally in coco.

It does not seem to cause any harm and I can not find a difinitive answer as to what it is.....any help appreciated. I usually only notice it when unpotting harvested plants, but never notice any detriment to the plants yield or quality.

I did add a small small dose of promix's unreleased mycorrhizae, which the rep hyped as having the highest spore count possible and consisting only of glomus intradices.

again any help.

Look a lot like root aphids... Are you sure its not causing any harm???

 

[GOOROO]

def not root aphids....and yea pretty sure no harm....roots grow right through the clusters.....

yield and quality same as plants with not a sign of this. This was on one of a dozen plants I harvested.

pictures were huge but they only get so big on here.

 

[ICMaggotMe]

Wow.....that is some weird looking shite.

Mycelia attach to the roots... Those don't look attached to any roots. And as far are the roots of your plant they look far from healthy. Should be covered in pearly whites. It might not be root aphids but I can tell you its not Mycelia. When I had aphids I used this fungus called met-52 to kill them. This looks similar to the Met-52, after it had begun spreading into the media.

Can you post some full plant pictures?

If I had to guess, and guess being the key word here, I would say that it is a fungus.

 

[jerry111165]

This looks similar, at least. I found it here.

perhaps?

hth.

Hiya Jerry,

Did you ever build your flow through worm reactor?

 

[jerry111165]

*raised eyebrow*

Unfortunately, not yet. Work has me on a large, awful, nasty out of town project. - I've only been able to be home around one day a week for the last several months.

Have no doubt that this *will* happen, though. Right now its just a matter of time.

In the meantime, all else is going well! No-Till is working perfectly - on round 5 in the same soil in #12 gallon pots, compost heaps are kicking butt and the chickens are arriving this coming weekend...*lol*

jerry.

Those look like spider eggs to me, or some sort of worm egg. Not to throw up warning signals or cry wolf. They're unlike anything I'd expect to see in potting soil. Good luck on the id.

Those roots are on a 9 week flowered plant that was chopped 2 days prior to the root ball shot.........don't know what your talking bout.

and yes I can.....
not that it makes much dif.....it was absolute fire either way.

 

[GOOROO]

these were at 8ish.

she came in at 11oz in a 5 gal bucket....not my best but fucking killer if you ask me....

 

[growcodile]

yo .. this is definitely a fungus of some sort

i had very similiar looking one .. it was very yellow in color and spread to other pots, when fungus heads like in your pics grew ... yikes! weird shit for sure!

Nice job....your plants look great!

 

[chos3n]

That is odd... looks like eggs of some sort to me as well. I walked into the grow one day and saw a mushroom growing out of my soil. Kinda freaked me out at first, just caught me by surprise. Hope you can figure it out.

 

[exploziv]

is that thing crumbly? or gooey? do you have a magnification device such as an pocket microscope at hand to provide further details?

It appears you have Sclerotium root rot

I recommend that you acquire some Trichoderma harzianum (Plant Shield is one brand name or email me through my webpage www.microbeorganics.com and I'll mail you a bit) and treat your soil. Exactly what is the product and spore count of Glomus Intraradices that you applied? I have a thread/sticky on another well known forum which may help. Other than that, use lots of compost or vermicompost in your soil.

MM, this 'root rot" wouldnt happen to be some kind of a fungus, would it?

jerry.

Sclerotium rolfsii is a soilborne fungus that survives in the soil as sclerotia,

Edit - after looking at Cite link - Aha - my gut instinct was correct.

Yes, it is a phase for survival of some fungi. Interesting huh? Wait till you get scoping and see flagellates become amoebae then cysts then plastic flagellates (can bend their form)
