Question regarding my topdress

been using organis for around a year now but I'm still a super noob when it comes to all this, I'm really just starting to learn(kind of a slow learner lol ). Just finished the book teaming with microbes
so made a bunch of top dress for flower to plop under the drip point. So i put half ewc half Gaia green power bloom in a big freezer bag to use at a later date. So i used some the first day, about two weeks later went to use some and there was some white growth on the top. Is this white stuff good? Is it the fungi from the ewc starting to break down the nutrients in the power bloom. Shit was pretty stinky, reminded me of when I'm fishing.
so ya question is that a good thing to be happening?
i had it in a big ziplock freezer bag closed, should it be open or have oxygen getting to it so it won't get anaerobic?
before i probably would have gotten freaked out and tossed it or tried to scrape out the white stuff

Probably just mycelia. That happens to my top dressing mixes that I premix with EWC.

White mycelium (not powder) are the good guys from the ewc like u suspect

Jinx

sweet that's what i was thinking,
i should have gotten a closer look before i mixed it all up with the rest, mycelia is kind of stringy or fibrous correct? What's the white powder?

It could be white spores from fungi, or even the mold mycelium itself. I use Penicillium candidum culture for my brie cheese I make at home, and it looks really powdery in its older stages after the fuzz has been patted down. I also use Penicillium nalgiovense as a culture (spray on) for my cured dried raw meats - like old world salamis and such. It always looks kinda like a white powder and you don't get that fuzzy network that's visible so much even when it starts to colonize.

I wouldn't worry too much unless you're very seriously allergic to penicillin and want to eat it.

thanks for all your reply's greatly appreciated
