Storing substrate jars
    #12583759 - 05/18/10 04:34 AM (14 years, 7 months ago)

I have tried to grow mushrooms a couple of times and have contaminated a couple of times. I was wondering if I prepare the jars and substrate and leave it a week or more without innoculating it, if this would be a good sign the contamination has not occured. I figured if nothing grows inside its sterile. Is this true or am I way off?
I have a feeling my contamination is coming from my prep of the jars.

Yes, this will help find out where the contams are coming from. I saw recent post about this but I can't seem to find it.

Give the jars a quick smell too, you might not be able to see anything growing right away. If you do this the contams are in the jars then it is how your jars were prepared and sterilized. Other wise its your inoculation procedure. Glove box, syringes, ect.
