Unknown jar is contaminated. What to do?
    #1798347 - 08/10/03 02:22 PM (20 years, 5 months ago)

Simply put, there are a few jars in an incubator and there is most defintely a rank ass smell coming from the inside, from one or more jars.

The jars were inspected once since inoculation but no signs of contams were noticed, but the smell is def. there.

I dont want to keep opening the damn thing because the others will get contaminated, yet I have to do something because i know there's something growing that shouldnt be.

how long should i wait until i see green or black mold...?

Prolly bacteria. There's no wet spots?

You could smell each one, but be careful -- don't put your nose too close to them. You really want to get those out of there.

take a closer look at each jar...see if any have substrate that looks excessively wet, slimy, or mushy...

see if the substrate looks anything like this...

got that mother fucker out of there.

all my jars contain oyster spores so im already pissed that i lost some oyster mushrooms (im a chef so u know..)


all the other jars smell fine except for this one jar that the bottom looked slimy and when i smelled it a few more times it really stunk so i tossed it.

However, i think that me opening that shit a few times to smell might have introduced more contams but only time will tell.
