alright guys need yall help. I took a look at them a minute ago and noticed something, toward the top of the jars it seam to look like it had a darker white color instead of the white? like a light, light brown? and they are not like that at the towards the bottom of the jars. Sorry no pictures, I don't have my camera right now. What do you guys think?

It will be difficult for anyone to say without pictures. I can't say cause it hasn't happened to me.

Someone will come along who knows, but I am unsure.

If the myc is a brilliant white you should be fine.

I'm guessing if its near the top, then something is funky with your verm filter.

Could just be myc reaching through it, that's why it isn't bright white. The jars might be colonizing thru the verm filter.

Or could be contams. Either way, someone will know, try and take pics though, even phone pics if you have to.

Another way to tell will be when you open the jars, you should smell a mushroom fungus smell, not any other smell but fresh myc/mush. If you smell anything sour, or anything besides fresh myc, I'd toss em.

Also open em outside if your gonna smell em, as they may have contamed, don't want that inside.

Thanks for the reply, I think it might be the myc taking over the verm, its just a lighter white than the white towards the bottom or on the bottom of the jar, i'm going to go see if I can find a camera, and its like that on almost all the jars.

why do you say that? Its just not colonized as much as the other ones. I think. But I don't see a reason to trash it?

mayb it's the light but it looks green. Didn't say trash it though. In the most extreme case i would just isolate it and keep it around. Probably even eat it.

Make sure to keep an eye on those jars.

4 days for that much colonizing is too damn fast for a spore syringe, period.

Is there any rope-like or rhizomorphic growth??

Mushroom mycelium usually has some type of rhizomorph.

I think your jars are growing something different...

Hmm, growth after 4 says from spores is unlikely...

I thought he was talking fully colonized cakes.

What we're talking about sounds like contams. Only contams grow that fast.

The spores shouldn't have germinated and shown any myc growth for 5- 7 days or so after innoc.

congrats TexXx! I tried to rate you but I don't have enough posts yet.

You definitely have some aggressive growth going on there.

Kudos!
