i agree with RR

i dont see trich, only slight bruising... nothing to worry about. if it gets contaminated, it gets contaminated. nothin you can do.

Salt is highly toxic to mycelium.  I was afraid a few years ago when I mentioned that covering a spot of mold with salt can help get a substrate through a current flush, that people would start using it routinely and recommending such to others.  I now regret doing so.  It has ruined far more grows than it has saved.  I don't even use salt in my own mushroom farm, where getting through to harvest is the difference between making a profit and starving.  Contaminated substrates go to the garden area on first sight.

The bumps on that substrate are suspect and may indeed turn out to be nasty, but the spot of green pictured above is bruising.

If it helps I covered the salted area with tile adhesive,, will see if it spreads.

Tile adhesive?  What's in it?  Anything the mycelium absorbs will be in the fruits.  Do you want to eat that?  Gosh, you tried to 'save' a perfectly good substrate and ended up poisoning it.

I cut that entire corner section out of the tub. No grout/salt/green. (if the tub fails i have backups :P )

You said Trich spores would sit on the surface. I didnt do a good job of capturing the depth in the photo. The area in question between day 12-14 grew little greenish blobs on top of the surface. The surface itself didn't look green or bruised, just the growth on top.

use the q tip test for trich next time before performing surgery on your substrate. cutting a piece out wont hurt the substrate at all either. i broke a tub in half after removing the trash bag (which i found to be a pointless addition to the tub) and the substrate still produced a couple more dry ounces of mushrooms. so you should be in good shape.

trich grows fast. you would defintely notice it over 12-24 hours.

Geezus.  Even more disinformation.  We've known for years that the q-tip 'test' is null and void.  Bruising will easily rub off on a q-tip.

Cutting out 'green mold' makes the problem worse by sending billions of trich spores into the air. NEVER attempt to cut out mold.  This has been well-known and documented for many years.

I can't take it any more.  This thread is a living fail boat full of horribly bad advice.  I have to lock it before any more disinformation gets posted here, which will get quoted over and over again years from now. It's bad enough that the OPs grow has been ruined by bad advice. Threads like this one will result in hundreds of more grows being ruined if it isn't nuked. :facepalm:
