Monotub Contam 2 types?
    #12580381 - 05/17/10 04:59 PM (14 years, 8 months ago)

This is an 18 gallon monotub with five qts golden teacher WBS spawned to layered straw/hpoo/verm/gypsum on 4/30.  Here is a picture of the tub on 5/12:

I did notice a bit of green under some myc in the corner, but it is hard to see.  This is the tub today.

Green discoloration that seems to be under the myc.  Is this substrate just completely contaminated from the inside out?

This is another tub like the one above, maybe this one has hope?

on 5/17:



Another tub of the same design with straw/hpoo spawned with 4 qts Hawaiian WBS has been colonizing for a bit longer b/c of less spawn and no verm to loosen things up.  It seems to have a different kind of contam problem.  What might it be? Any remedy?
5/12:

5/17:

There is even a little piece of straw standing up from the sub with a large glob of this grey wispy material that seems to be in a large circle on the tub.

Is this a different type of mold or something different?

Yeah for sure you got something wrong going on their..not sure though you're pictures don't tell us the whole story?? what do the tubs smell like is there a faint sweet smell or maybe a foot locker smell to any of them???? I don't think you have anything that can't be held back with some H2O2 and salt for a first flush..but I wouldn't count on any more than that if the contamination in question becomes worse??? Good Luck ..get back to us on the smells...E

Everything looks really wet.  It's hard to tell what's going on.  If no funky smells, you can leave your holes open or with very loose polyfill in and let it dry out a bit.

The first tub with the green smells a bit like shrooms but also dirty/musky smell.

The second tub does not have much of any smell.

The third tub with the off-white spot smells a bit sweet.

Peroxide had no immediate effect on any of the growth, so I assume it is not cobweb.
