Contamination after pasteurisation
    #10296005 - 05/06/09 09:47 AM (14 years, 10 months ago)

Is it possible that after the pasteurisation of a substrate (in this case a phone book) that you might get some localised mold contamination but it fails to take hold of the substrate and your mycelium runs it out.  I am wondering because I found some spots of mold on the surface of my substrate over a week ago but it doesn't appear to be growing any more, whereas my Lion's Mane is taking off.  Might I still be okay or is this wishful thinking?

With lions mane, you might be OK. If it was anything like mine it is extremely aggressive. Of course you want to keep mold out of your grow area though!

Also, if you followed the tek where you cut out the center section and inoculate with grain, it may be a good idea to place the freshly pasteurized phonebook inside a tub for colonization to see if that helps protect it.
