Contamination??
    #11279683 - 10/19/09 07:29 PM (14 years, 5 months ago)

So I'm doing my very first grow, and everything seems to be going alright so far. Had some minor complications, such as not making the inoculation holes big enough on some jars *smacks forehead* and a slow mycellium development, this slow development leads me to question if the jars are healthy? I originally had them at about 45% humidity and 21 Celsius. Then moved them into their future fruiting chamber and got the humidity up to an average 80% humidity and 23 Celsius. This sped up growth a large amount. The humidity on the inside of the jars, as well as some spotting, makes me worry slightly though, contamination? Or healthy go-lucky jars? :smile:(Best example is last jar, the orange like spot near the mid section. I can't decide if it's a contaminant spot or just the substrate showing thru the mycellium??)

The 3rd picture does look a little suspect but it could just be metabolized nutrients from the mycelium. It's also a little hard to tell because in the picture you took, it decided to focus on the text instead of the jar...:rolleyes:

I'd suggest you separate that jar from the others just to quaranteen it off. Let it go for another 4 or 5 days and keep a close eye on it. I like to circle the area I think is contaminated to see if it grows outside the outline.

The other pics look great! :thumbup:

I think your jars are fine (maybe some metabolites?) and keep up the good work, looks good.

The slow growth is most likely due to the temperature or old spawn?

I was looking at the splits in the side of the mushrooms (top picture). I was curious what the cause of this was? Too much moisture? Not enough? I don't think it's a sign of anything that would make them inedible.
