kombucha mushroom sank?

[artisticat]

I just started brewing my kombucha, but I noticed that my mushroom sank to the bottom and there seems to be a really really thin mushroom growing on top. Is this normal?

I read on one kombucha site that it might sink or float, either way is fine. I hope that's right, because mine sank, too! Looks just like you described. The scoby is sitting on the bottom, and there's a filiment reaching up to the top where there seems to be a new mushroom growing.

yeah that is normal...I have had mine do both..I wonder if it has to do with the balance of sugar or temp of the water...

Ours have all sunk thus far (we're in the middle of brewing our second and third batches!). Totally normal

love and peace.
