Stalled?
    #14049070 - 03/01/11 03:13 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Sorry for the poor quality camera phone shot but here's the deal: I have a half-dozen jars that were injected one month ago that have pretty-much ground to a halt a few weeks into the process. The jars are made up of two different batches of WBS but both sets were inoculated with the same Golden Teacher syringe.

What would cause two differently prepared WBS jar sets to fail/stall in the same exact manner? They seemed to be doing okay at first - nice spots/blobs of mycelium growing within the mix and then bam - they up and quit.

Thanks!

Is that the only place the myc is forming?  If your sure its stalled try to shake it to break it all up and distribute the myc everywhere, like you are supposed to do around 20$ colonization anyway....Did you already shake it?

Yeah... I shook the jars initially on inoculation and then a few weeks into the process. Most of the jars have isolated blobs of growth that are about the size of a nickle but they haven't budged in weeks.

Now that I look at it again and the fact that you shook it up during the way, that doesn't appear to be mushroom mycelium in the jar.  Kind of looks like trich in the first stage(the mean green)....That blotch looks very suspicious....Is there any signs of green?  Did that spot grow fast and then stop?  Do the other jars look like that?

1) your jars are way too full
2) looks like bacterial infection to me.

I had the same strange white spot on some jars in the past,
it dont look like myc.
When i opened the jars before i threw them away it had an very nasty smell,not paint but a sort of rotten sugar smell what made me almost puke as nasty the smell was.

And 1 month?
i think it is lost..........

Thanks! I popped one open and enjoyed the delightful wafting stink of stank. Yup... two had no bad smell whatsoever and one actually seemed to be struggling along but as I already compromised the jars, I decided to to ditch them all and give it another whirl.

What's the primary cause of bacterial contamination? I have yet to get hit by molds in any projects but I seem to get regular visits from the bacterial fairy.

If they are tyvek paper filters at the top I heard they are not ideal, I have never used them before.....You can try a real tyvek filter or microtape for the top...How did you sterilize?  Did you use a still air box for inoculation?

Yeah, tyvek barrier... (I have micropore tape as well). Sterile technique is fairly tight... 90 mins of pressure cooking and then all work is done in a sanitized glovebox with gloves and treated sleeves.

I'm guessing that my seed mix was just too moist in the end.

hmmm did you start the 90 minute timer when it reached 15 psi?  How big are your holes in the disc on the top?  But yeah, its not good if they are too wet....I like to lay my seed out on a towel for an hour or 2 before I load the jars....
