toss or wait? possible contam *PIC*

Log in to view attachment

fairly soon after inoculation swim saw a very very light pink/orange (NOT purple) discoloration on some of the mycelia around the inoculation points (syringe used). In some cases it is also giving off water. Swim realizes that it is possibly contam from the syringe but it seems to be minor and contained, is there any chance that the mycelium will kill it off? could it be metabolites? basically, should swim wait and see if it fixes itself or should swim chuck em now? thanks

ya its been over a week and its not getting any worse but since the rest of it is growing normally swim is hesitant to throw them away. 4 of swim's 8 jars are like this. Its not dark enough to be lipstick contam and swim's been looking all over shroomery to find out what it could be. This is swim's first time growing so swim is trying to be as careful as swim can.

Need better res pic so I can take a closer look, but as it currently stands I personally would separate the jars in question and let them go a little further. Update with better pics please

Looks like metabolites to me... but watch them closely to be sure. Use your best judgement and when it comes time to birth them make sure to give it a good smellin

Same as this^. Looks like healthy myc otherwise. Could be a sign of negative things to come but I would definitely wait.

so if it doesnt go away (or get worse) come full colonization should swim put them in the fruiting chamber with the rest of the cakes or throw them out?

Id say they look good right now, but if things change make sure to put pics up. And just make sure to smell em when you open them to make sure they got the right smell about them

The problem is that this is swims first cultivating experience and consequently swim doesn't know what the right smell is. Can it be explained? Also isn't it dangerous to smell them in case it is a dangerous contam?

Hey Noobie, foaf just finished his first grow and a good healthy smell is that of strong but ordinary mushrooms, you cant mistake it.  On his second, 5 out of 6 jars contaminated with either lipstick or pink mold (this is before i made a glove box) the 6th jar looks good except for some discoloration of the myc - exactly the same as your pic.  I plan on birthing it too its own "poor mans terrarium" so i dont contaminate my shotgun grow chamber, and just seeing what happens.  This is a great site with tonnes of info, but I've always found that first hand exp is invaluable, however, I would be more that interested in an experienced members opinion.

Btw, Just realized that this was my first post... Hello everyone:) and srry for the thread-jack:)
