followed RR video series on brf tek with shitake syringe. the only thing i did different was use a CANDLE to flame sterilize between jars instead of an alcohol wick lamp.
Not sure if this is SOOT from the needle that got transferred into the jar during inoculation and the mycelium is spreading black soot particles around OR if its black mold.
the plastic bag pic was a test of 1cc of water with a sooty flame sterilized syringe.
is this a contam syringe? all inoculation sites have this in all 10 jars...
Any thoughts? These pics taken 4 full days after

If its at all 4 sites on all 10 cakes I'd say its soot, but i'm no expert.
For next time though just soak a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and ya got a perfect soot free flame

Is there even any mycelium in there? I've had soot on my needles before and never seen anything like that so I'd have to say mold.

someone who's occupation deals with this stuff said it was mold.they are getting bigger and blacker. definitely mold.
is it reasonable to say the syringe was contaminated?
Does anyone know if ralphster would resend a syringe for something like this?

I would say it's very likely it was a contaminated syringe and I'm sure you could get a replacement if you asked.
