Can't believe nobody picked up on this. Freespores = not a shroomery vendor which means they've probably got shit. You probably ordered shit, and they delivered shit. Start over with a shroomer vendor, I'm sure you'll have better results

I only used them Because of the whole free spore syringe thing plus I have bought from them before and got good results.
But If my jars turn out to be contaminated I will not be buying from them again.
Krum you say you had the same problem? Can you tell me about it? Did you get slow colonizing, grey "or thin" mycelium?
I'm willing to give them the benefit of a doubt cuz I do see spots where nice white mycelium is growing. And also I'm colonizing at a low temperature.
And there is always the possibility that it was a screw up on my end. I have comfadence in my sterile procedures they have gotten me threw many grows, but it only take one or two of those microscopic monsters to ruin a jar.

Contams would spread like wildfire.. Give your jars a good sniff, if they smell rotten or sour then they are likely to be bad.. And ive ordered from freespores many of times.. There is no problem with their stuff.

No one on this site will be able to help you with contamination issues without any pictures. Myc piss does not need contamination to occur. Not sure why you froze your grain and I am not sure if that will hurt anything, but as long as you have myc growth and no discoloration, you are generally ok.
You cant sell Living cultures of active strains.

Your right its illegal cuz it contains the psycodelic chemical that gets you high.
It probably germinated during delivery. I can assure you though it had mycelium growing around a spore clump.

Free spores is like getting your spores from another shroomery member. But instead you ship them to this place, and they do wat they do.
Your almost better making a trade for a couple baseball cards, or maybe a giftcard to another shroomery member with a few successful grows under their belt. They should know what they are doing and its cheaper then a vendor.

This can mean that the syringe has been sitting for quite some while. The viability of the syringe could be diminished when you see germinating spore clumps in the spore solution.

WOAH WOAH WOAH!

OK so 2 weeks ago I inoculated some wbs jars with a multi spore syringe from -------.
Read forum rules, you shouldn't be doing that to the sponsors name.
Quote:
The mycelium that grew appeared at the innoculation points on each jar and appeared to be off white.
That's the spores germinating. It should get stringy after a while and look a bit more pure white If not, you have a contam.
Quote:
At the 2 week mark the jars were maybe 40% colonized so I went ahead and shook them. Its been two days since then and they appear to be recovering slowly.
Very noticeable growth starts a couple days after the shake. It will get fuzzy and spread the love.
Quote:
I froze the grain for a few weeks before PCing them. After PC I did notice condensation inside the jars but the grain isn't soaking wet or anything.
I would never freeze my grain, just simply prep it before I need them. I hope you got it to the right moisture ahead of time anyways.
Quote:
My jars are colonizing on the top shelf of my closet. The temp inside my house is 68 degrees.
That sounds alright. A bit warmer might help.
Quote:
Also when I got my syringe there was mycelium already germinated inside it.
This can't be true. Seeing how cubes are illegal and all, sending tissue would get someone in allot of trouble and is avoided. Especially when it comes from a sponsor. It could have been something else.

I don't believe its a contamination Because there would be mycelium piss right?

For all you know he's shooting up a jar of oysters.. He never said what type he was innoculsting with so this is fine.. Unless he just comes out and says incriminating things lol.

For all I know I'm enforcing the rules.
And I doubt it's an edible species.

The slow recovery could be a bacterial contam.
