question about a green contam
    #15158342 - 09/30/11 02:13 PM (13 years, 3 months ago)

lol i think i spoke too soon, i just posted about how i never get contams and sure enough i check my jars today and spotted 2.

alright so heres my question. im pretty sure this is trich, (forest green mold) ive never had a contam but ive seen people posting in here saying that you can still fruit with trich. is this true? and sorry for not having a pic i dont have a camera.

it doesnt look that bad. tiny green spot surrounded by white mycelium. are they gonna battle? advice and comments welcome. thanks :wink:

just because its small on the outside doesn't mean that its not a big spot on the inside

you can i believe because in real life mycelium has to fight for its space and it will fruit off the areas where its not contaminated, although i don't know if you can eat the fruits, tho dehydrating them does kill off contaminates from what i hear

but just by birthing the cake you are endangering your whole set up, if you do i wouldn't birth it anywhere near your set up, then you have to keep it very separate from your other cakes, and when you go into your real grow room you need to change close and wash your hair really well and all that stuff

I'm only on this website to role play about mycology I would never actually do that.

Fruiting that jar is going to release tons of mold spores into your grow space, compromising future grows. Most will tell you that it's not worth it. However, fruits from a contaminated substrate are completely safe to eat, to answer that question.

checked it today and the tiny green spots are almost non existent now. im just gonna let them colonize and ill cut it open outside to see how much trich is actually in it. if its only that tiny spot ill just cut it out and rinse off the cake and i think i should be good.

Messing with contaminated jars is never a good idea. Even if you do things
outside the spores will cover your cloths, your hair, your skin, your arms
etc and then you walk back into your house and bring them all with you.

Contaminates are everywhere and you are never going to get rid of them,
but playing with contaminated jars or substrates where the spore load can
easily be up into the millions and billions+ of spores being released you
are always better off to ditching the project, clean house and start again.

One jar/bag/tub is never worth jeopardizing your entire grow area.

evilmushroom, you know i hear that alot. that if anyone has contaminated jars they should just throw them away. because of the spores and they will spread all over your house. but ive always wondered. arent there millions and billions of spores outside? and regardless of whether i open a contaminated jar or not, dont spores come in through my window or get on my clothes when i walk outside? whats the difference if i open a jar or just walk outside? know what im saying though? just curious

That is what I am getting at with my above post. Spores of all kinds are
constantly in the air, outside, inside all over. The spore load will be
different depending upon where you live, what is around your immediate
area etc.

That being said when you have a contaminated jar or substrate that has
been overtaken by trichoderma lets say, that jar/substrate can easily
put out millions, billions and even trillions of spores into the air.
This is in much higher concentrations then you normally get outside as
you have provided the organism with food and it has no competitors.

Once you have covered yourself/your work area in such a high concentration
of spores you will have a hard time growing afterwards.

checked today and the spots are no longer visible. so i guess im gonna let them colonize, bring a knife and some oust spray outside, birth them and cut it in half to see what the inside looks like...if it looks like a normal cake i will try to locate where those spots were and cut them out , give em a good rinse, then spray myself with oust before i re-enter my house.

if i lived in a warmer climate id probably just dig a shallow hole, crumble them up and throw some coir on top of em and let em grow outside. but maybe ill just make a small seperate terrarium in an isolated spot in my house.

Locked to prevent other noobs from following horrible advice and ruining their house for ever being able to grow again.

In a month or two, you'll be posting here asking why every single jar contaminates, since you will have destroyed your indoor environment for growing.

There may be lots of spores outdoors, but that's different from releasing a few trillion right in your house where you attempt to do sterile work.

For the record, you CAN'T cut contamination out of a jar.  The green is only the spores.  The mycelium is white and you can't differentiate it from mushroom mycelium.
