Beginner's Contam Question
    #15737475 - 01/30/12 10:10 AM (12 years, 11 months ago)

Heya, I'm not sure if this is what I hope it isn't, or if I am just being paranoid. Regardless any advice towards the subject would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if this is Trich. To be honest, I noticed it two days ago but did not have a camera. It hasn't grown at all, but I wanted to ask and be safe.

I also wanted to know if these were okay, they seem darker than others around them, but have grown fine up to this point. I just noticed this yesterday so I am not sure if growth has halted.

I'm truly sorry if this post was a waste of time, I just didn't want to take chances.

First one is bruising.

Second one I'm not even sure what you're worried about, looks normal to me.

Alright, I just wasn't sure. I think I was nervous about the second one because the cakes around it are a different species and they have been coming in lighter. But yeah, thankyou very much for the input, I feel much bettah :laugh:.

Does green mold grow off the mycelium or does it grow on the substrate?

Usually starts on uncolonized substrate so if a cake is fully colonized it becomes pretty resistant to contamination.

looks like you are useing the metal jar lids, they will rust causing contam. i use plastic coffee cup lids with a little verm in them works great.

People use metal lids all the time, rust doesn't cause contamination. Maybe if it rusted a hole all the way through the lid but I've never seen it get that bad.

I stand corrected about my last Post rust MAY cause contamination, plastic definitely does not. you have all the plastic lids for free at your local burger joint.
