I do not think you will get expert opinions as experts dont like to give misleading info and to be honest it is just to hard to tell if it is contaim or not looking at the pictures.

Their are a few different contaims that start off looking like mycelium then change colors. At this point nobody could tell you for %100 certainity if it is contaim or not.

An expert I belive would give this advice. Seperate it from the other jars in a cool place with no air flow and make sure it is dark and leave it alone for a week or two. Most contaims need light to grow so everytime you expose it to the light if it is a contaim your helping it progress............if it is their is nothing you can do about it so no sense in worrying about it!!!

Not sure bro. Might be metabolites might be rust might be contam. I don't smell any funky odor associated with it at all and its made no outbreak. it could just be verm stuck to the side of the jar

Hey guys, im updating the grow log ive been making. Bad news. I nocced my jars up on june 4th. Its the 29th now. Jars are showing a lot of mycellium growth but i fucked up and got impatient. I decided to use a heating pad to incubate my jars a few days ago. Well, I monitored it for about 2 hours and thought it would stay a constant 80F. So I leave, come back 8 hours later to 100F and my jars being pretty warm. I panicked and took them off the pad and restored them to 75F room temperature. Think they are going to be okay? It seems like these are taking a longgggg time to colonize. Heres pics, notice the uncolonized portions. Think i'm good? im stressin out

Don't do it again =P. Just let them do their thing, at room temperature, in closet or drawer or something. Out of sight, out of mind.

Don't toss them yet either. External temperature is not internal temperature, so some may have lived. I'm just going off of memory, but I think that myc can survive up to 98, and spores 103 degrees.

I just hope they'll be fine. Is it weird for the jars to take more then 3 weeks to fully colonize?

i did almost the same but mine got near 110 F. i thought they were dead and just left them in the corner and started a new batch. out of that 24 i lost 10 but 14 turned out fine. in the fruiting chamber. you might have stunted them and maybe they will be slow to start again, mine did. dont give up hope just let them be and see. might as well start new ones too... why not right?  :Awemush:

Yeah I think it is taking so long because when i inoculated, some of the inoculation points didnt colonize. So I was left with 1 spot colonizing instead of 4.
