wierd verm or contam?. isolation or the trash can?
    #15146410 - 09/28/11 10:05 AM (13 years, 3 months ago)

so after one day of inoculation i saw a yellow spot on the inside the jar im not sure if it was present in the verm. like it was a wierd piece or something and thought only of it as the beginning of the mycellium growth.(keep in mind this is my first time) i also notice it on another jar just peeking out of the substrate from the side.  when i noticed mycellium growth i realized that is was either contam or some wierd piece of substrate so i isolated that jar. the other jar the contam was covered by the myc. so im not sure which of the other 5 jars it was.  the spot on the first jar is not growing either.  my question would be should i case the jar with the spot and just cut of the circle of bac. which is about the size of an O in 12pt font printing or toss it. also what should i do about the possible contamintated jar mixed with my other jars? should the all be fruited seperatly? let me stress that the mycellium looks swimmingly healthy and is doing fine while the contam if it is. is not growing at all. the myc has even grown over the possilbe contam and neither the myc. nor the possible contam have changed in characteristics.

Can anyone tell me if I should throw this out? It may be bruising from water pellets raining down, but I just wanna make sure. The cake in the FC next to it is pinning and doing fine. This one shows no growth, looks a little dry, and has a few greenish-blue spots on the top.

It may not even be bacteria but if you're planning to crumble it up anyways you might as well leave the discolored part out.

well there are a few thing i could do fruit all the cakes  individualy in seperate friuting chambers, do it and put them all in the same fc or crumble and do ind. or crumble all.  now the problem is i dont know where the colony of bactiria is because the mycellium grew over it and it looks healthy.(if it is bac.) does anyone know if it would be healthy if there was bac. present or would the bactiria try and fight back?

I don't think the mycelium would have grown over it if it was bacteria. Usually what it would do is grow around it and have a sort of hardened edge to try and separate itself from it, unless the bacteria died off somehow. If it were mold it would have taken over the entire jar if it had appeared just a day after inoculation.

Assuming it was bacteria, it probably wouldn't pose much of a contamination risk to the other cakes at this point but there's no way to be certain.
