You know, its funny... The last 12 jars had a few with worms but those were PC'd for a little under an hour and incubated outside so it didn't surprise me much. The strange thing is that one of the jars with worms colonized but didn't contaminate.

The worms grew into little flies that crawled around the inside of the jar and on the mycelium but never in that jar did I see a tiny little bit of anything other than pure white ropey myc. When I opened that jar to dunk, the flies swarmed out and left behind a beautiful solid white cake.

That cake is now on it's second flush and a big flush at that. The other two cakes which had no worms or flies in their jars are just now beginning to pin. Maybe theres something magic about worm poo?

The first flush was only 3 mushrooms which were kind of small when the veil broke. I told my room mate he could have them and so he ate the three of them right after picking them off the cake.

He lost his freaking mind that night. Said he'd never tripped like that in his life, so I'm excited to see what this second flush will bring for me.

still no signs of colonization on these cakes though =(... and baffled that the worms developed in these ones after that long sterilization, glove box and incubation chamber and leaving the foil on and all that...

:crazy2:

Hahahahahaha well it sounds bad when you put it like that, but he's been helping with everything from the beginning and watched everything happen as it happened so he knew what was up.

Damn that's a bummer. I think it's safe to say start over.

I just figured it out! It's because I inoculated them on 9/11!

Just got around to chucking the contents of the jars in question. Among them were a few which had the mean green, some still had nothing, then I came across this one and figured I may hold on to it and see what happens.

It's got some kind of white stuff growing, but I'm sceptical as to whether or not its what I was hoping for. 

Whatchya' guys think?

I think your wardrobe is nicely in focus
haha
:whoah:

hard to say from this pic, but from my cobweb experience, it's a lot fluffier and not bright white like mycelium, which looks proper thick and forms little ropey bits

but it seems as if different 'strains' behave differently to an extent. I'd say hold onto it and see. apparently cobweb spreads fast, so if it covers the whole jar in 2-3 days and still looks whispy, then it's fucked

yeah takes a bit of faffing around, I have to admit. sometimes it's better to have the phone further away and then zooming in, in photoshop.

also, keeping your hand steady really helps I've found :smile:

So were the contaminated jars the ones in the cabinet or your incubator? Especially curious on how your incubator did :smile:

And sorry to hear about your wormy jars, that's a bummer and is weird as fuck.
