Hey guys, got a bag here but im not sure if what im seeing is myc piss or some kind of bacteria/contam. The bag has some random yellowish looking spots. Then on the bottom it appears to have a lot of this liquid with no colonization in this part (this pic is kinda blurry, but you can see what i'm talking about). Looking to hear your opinions and see if this should be tossed or not. Thanks guys

Hmm. Get a clearer pic of the bottom.
"Uncolonized" areas + large amount of metabolites + stalling, indicates bacteria
As the bacteria already has that portion, and the mushroom myc is producing metabolites to help combat the bacteria
If it smells bad, throw it out/bury it outdoors

looks like bacteria of some sort but those are mostly colonized, I would spawn it to something or bury it so its not a waist of time.
get something out of it.
unless you got no room for it or lotz more going on.

All it's going to take is one sniff from the bag. It looks a bit progressive to be just myc waste product which does resemble that. However I'm sure your nose knows. Do let us know the results.

It looks like metabolites, but there's no such thing as myc piss. Metabolites serve two functions. One is to help break down the substrate with solvents, and the other is an antibiotic function to help fight off competitors. Mycelium doesn't urinate, and the metabolites are not a waste product, despite what you read elsewhere. Penicillin is produced from the metabolites of another species of fungi. You certainly wouldn't ask your doctor for a shot of myc piss if you had the clap. RR

Hey guys, just wanted to see if you still thought its metabolites with the clearer picture of the bottom? And what should i do if the bottom doesn't colonize? Is it still safe to spawn to bulk when the rest is finished colonizing?

The yellowish liquid is metabolites. The rest of it looks pretty bad though. Take a whiff through the filter. If it stinks, it's contaminated with bacteria. RR

when in doubt toss it out, go to the contam forum and read up, some of the shit that can grown alongside mycelium is deadly if not very very sickening, so dig a hole, and burry it and just start over...
