obviously i'm a total noob and instead of putting a layer of dry verm at the top of the jars, i put a layer of wet baked verm.....also, i'm pretty sure i added too much water to the substrate mix. my jars have been inoculated now for 2 weeks and i have ok mycelium growth, but its starting to slow down and create the yellow mycelium piss. i havent been able to find a post of someone with the same problem. does anyone know anything helpful???

i have 3 strains,B+, Z, and GT that are now fucked, but im just gonna let em go and see what happens i think. its hard for me to let em go cause it was a BITCH getting them into california. the good thing is that the B+ jars are 10 days older than the other two strains so i have a little bit of a better idea of what to expect.

Too much water can lead to cobweb mold it's happened to me. But cobweb spreads quickly and you can easily spot it from myc.
The dry layer of verm is a contam barrier that would have probably helped you, making it wet defeats this purpose, but you might not be fucked.
What did you inoculate them with? Was it an MS syringe? Noobies often think they fucked up when jars take forever. If you still use MS syringes you have to wait awhile, longer than what most people on here would wait.
The piss doesnt mean you fucked up. If you have mold, you fucked up. Post pics. If you can't tell what it is we'll need pics.

Mycelium doesn't urinate and never has. That's an obsolete term coined by early growers who didn't have a fucking clue about mycology.
You've probably got some bacterial contamination caused by not having a filter on your jars. Wet verm is the same as no filter at all. Next time, be sure to follow the tek to the letter. RR

No its a defense mechanism the mycl produces to try to defend itself from any mold or Bactria. No where near the same thing...

Thanks for the pic. I just stole it to use when I'm pissed about piss.

Almost all of the major antibiotics are made from the exuded liquid from mycelium. I think it was in TMC that these were referred to as a 'waste material' which is not the best term to use. I haven't heard Paul use that definition in many years though.
I'm just as anal about not using the word 'casing' to refer to a mushroom growing project, or to call a bulk substrate 'spawn' or any other incorrect terms. It's hard enough to learn a new hobby without reading the wrong terms over and over, which makes them seem correct. One then has to unlearn the bad info, which is much harder than learning the correct nomenclature from day one. RR
