Mad Bag Contam? Wet Spot? [pics]
    #16812561 - 09/08/12 05:26 PM (12 years, 4 months ago)

I nocced 3 bags up about a month ago and 2 of them have been showing some good mycelium growth. One of them has showed no signs of growth at all though. And the last time I checked the bags I became concerned that they may have been contamed. The area smells sort of weird hard to describe, and the smell doesn't really seem to be coming from any of the bags specifically. There are also some spots on the bag that might be wet spot, I would love any input.

First bag


second bag:



third bag (no growth, smells sort of funky):

The one that has an odd odor and shows no growth is almost certainly from bacteria.

The other two seem to have a lot of metabolites which could possibly be in response to bacteria. The first bag seems to be fruiting despite it not be fully colonized, at least it appears it's not in the pic, which could also be a sign of contamination.

I would toss the 3rd and see if the smell goes away and make sure your incubation temperature is not excessive, should be <80F

Thanks for the reply, I threw away the 3rd bag and the smell seems to be going away. I hope it's just metabolites in the other 2 bags.
