4 monotubs lost to same contam. What is it
    #11735271 - 12/29/09 12:54 AM (15 years, 22 days ago)

The tubs always smell sour and the the sub looks like its growing thin white hairs towards the sky. What can this be and how did this happen? How can I stop this form happening again?

Might be cobweb... does it turns to be grey?
Did you proper sterilized your spawn? O.o

Yes it did. I think it might be a bacterial contam too hence the smell being sour/sweet.

Used 10qt colonized rye 10qt pasteurized Horse manure. One of the rye jars must have been contaminated and fucked up the rest. IMO

there are multiple contams in there.  That normally indicates infected spawn.  Check your sterile technique.

Sour smell indicates bacterial contamination. The mycelium won't be able to recover on the spawn fast enough before other molds take over.

Always give each jar a good sniff before spawning. You should smell fresh mushrooms. Any jars smelling of dirt (trich), gym socks, fermenting fruit (bacteria), etc. should immediately be tossed.
