Tonight, I came home to find 2 PFs at 100% and one contam.






(more pix in my grow log - link in sig)

I know the recommended way of dealing with this is to either toss the jar or boil it and then dump the jar.  However, there's LOTS of heavily wooded state land around my house, so my plan for all my contams is to find a remote spot, dump the jar, map it on GPS, and come back in a month or two (or three since it just snowed more).  What precautions should I take to ensure that I'm not carrying back any unfriendly passengers with me after the dump?

hmmm.. have a change of clothing and an extra bag outside your house.
After you dump the jar, ziplock the container.  when u get back to the house change your clothes and put them in the extra bag.  So any spores that landed on your clothing don't get spread inside your house.

Depends how clean u want to be.  Once you change into "clean" clothes u can also put some lotion on your exposed skin and then walk to the shower and decontaminate yourself.  The lotion will help keep any spores / skin from flaking off you while u make it to the shower.

If I were to flood the jars with water before dumping them, wouldn't that keep the mold spores from becoming airborne?

They probably won't survive outside. Why don't you PC the jar and use the other two as spawn for bigger ones?

It would keep a lot of them from going airborne, but not nearly all of them.

For me, I really don't even attempt to be this clean about things.  In my kitchen, I'll (carefully) open up the jar, and spray lysol or clorox disinfectant on the top layer of mold spores.  I'll put the lid back on and let that sit a couple minutes, and then dump in a healthy amount of dish soap and fill with water, (leaving a little air room to shake.)  I put the lid back on, and shake it up to break up the substrate.  After letting it sit another couple minutes, I dump the whole mess down the drain, cover the sink opening and pulse the garbage disposal.

After waiting 30 min or so after jar cleanup, I'll disinfect the counter surfaces in the kitchen and call it good.  I inoculate from syringes and spawn grain to bulk in the same kitchen, and haven't yet run into an issue with those procedures.  The only reason I've had a jar infection in a long while is from a dirty print or syringe.

The main concern for me is to limit spore exposure to myself (my lungs.)  I don't really know what mold is in the jar - I can guess by looks that it's harmless, but I'd rather play it somewhat safe and wear a surgical mask while doing this.

Regardless - if it's still cold enough to snow outside, the mushroom mycelium probably will not survive a freeze.  You might change your clothes when you got home, but I honestly wouldn't be TOO worried about spores on your clothing unless you plan to do sterile work before you change clothes.
