Blue Green "something" Unsure what it is...
    #13030937 - 08/10/10 09:43 AM (14 years, 5 months ago)

Hi,
I'm a newbie and this is my first post/first grow so I would really appreciate some feed back on this.

I inoculated 12 jars on Aug. 7th with a syringe procured from a sponsor. This morning I awoke and noticed some blueish coloration where the spore solution had dispensed.

The spores inside of the syringe were extremely visible (there were some big chunks) and I am wondering if this is normal because of the heavy spore presence or if there was a contaminant in the syringe. I was pretty sterile with my methods and the coloring has only showed up where the spore solution touched.

I have been trying to get some good pics, but have been unable as of yet. I will try again later.

Thanks a lot!

I'd need a pic.
But if it's growing, and it's not white... it's a contam.

Pictures would be helpful. I've heard bruising is possible at the site of inoculation. But this early, I don't know what there is to bruise... Is the mycelium outgrowing the color?

Ok, I have been reading and I saw some stuff about bruising if water droplets fall onto the mycelium (there was some condensation on the walls of my jars). I'll wait to see if the blue stuff grows. Thanks!

you definitely wouldn't have bruising at day 3... you likely wouldn't even have any mushroom mycelium big enough to see with the eye at day 3, starting from spores. (however, molds grow quicker and especially if were already growing within the syringe, it's like you injected an already active culture... which would take off like a rocket in your jar)

which leads to your other question, you say there were chunks in the syringe? also not normal. sometimes if they're heavy on the spores there may be clumps, or clouds of spores. i guess it might be semantics with our terms, if you can wrangle up pics perhaps show what the syringe looked like...

all in all, barring a picture to see what we're actually talking about here, it sounds like its contaminated.

here is a pic of the syringe. Clouds off spores is a more accurate depiction of whats in there.



I also had a a grow bag that I put about 3 cc's of syringe material into and I am seeing similar shades of blue growth. Fuuuck...

well that looks normal

of course contaminates would be microscopic so there's no saying if its any good, but it certainly looks like a normal syringe

unfortunately if you keep getting the same result from it over and over... it may be the problem...
