Jars are dry...contam?
    #8866692 - 09/02/08 03:56 PM (15 years, 6 months ago)

SWIM had 10 jars, B+ and F.  All of the B+ were badly contamed and threw them out.  4 jars, the F's look extremely dry but it looks like what to be a lighter colored myc and the substrate isnt clumpy but is very loose.  However it looks like it is 100% colonized.  Is this still good?

Q1) Is this a contam? 

Q2) The jars are WBS.  SWIM sat them in a pot of water for 12 hours...rinsed well, let the WBS dry until only a few would stick to his hand, and then PCd for 60 minutes.  He has never encountered a contam out of the 4 previous times.  What went wrong?

Lighter colored mycelia? Lighter than..white? :tongue: You should probably post a pic. The substrate should be a little loose...it shouldn't shake around that much in the jar, but it definitely shouldn't be packed either.

Sounds like yeast contamination.  Are there lots of white dots?
