is this a contamination..
    #17335652 - 12/04/12 09:57 PM (12 years, 1 month ago)

Hi all, i need your help please, it's been almost 8 weeks and my last two jars are almost fully colonized but i have noticed some white spot in one of them. they appear a little whiter than the mycelia, but seem like having the same type of texture.. could this be a yeast conta. or any other type of contamination,  ?
in the other jar i have also notice some kind of grey-ish spots could this also be a contamination
?




these are the ones with the grey spots





what do you guys think?
thanks for any help

Definitely doesn't look good. I'd say its a contam but I'm not 100% sure.

The top 4 pictures don't look very healthy, sorry. I'm not sure if they're contaminated though. Something is causing them to not colonize correctly though.

What size jars are those? What kind of lids are you using? What is the substrate mixture in the jars?

I did the Pf Tek method, using 1/2 pint canning jars wide mouth, the substrate was Vermiculite and Brown Rice flour.... so you guys think both jars are contaminated, should i just toss them out?


Thanks for the replies :smile:

Wait a little and see if there is any other indication of contamination and if they will fix themselves and colonize correctly
