Most common reason for contam?
    #18781470 - 08/31/13 02:03 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

There are SOO many variables that can go wrong and cause contam in your work, but what's the most common source? Insufficient substrate sterilization? Contamination during inoculation? Preparing the inoculant?

I just started 18 BRF jars and 4 of them ended up with blue-green mold contam. The jars were homemade, but not all were sterilized in the same pot. I think this is the source of the contam, but I'd like to know the most likely culprit.

You either improperly sterilized(not long enough) or poor inoculation procedures. Always flame sterilize and never wipe off the needle after flaming.

Improper sterile procedure is the most common reason for getting a contaminant.
If you inoculated all the jars with same syringe and 4 of them contam while the others didn't,
I'd suspect improper flaming of the needle between jars or a bad syringe.
Remember, no print or MS syringe is 100% sterile, because the mushrooms are fruited in open air.

IME contaminated spores. When I started using agar my contamination rate dropped to 0% for most batches overnight.

I should also mention I noticed a sigfnificant improvement before that switching to dry spore inoculations instead syringes. With syringes I was losing entire batches sometimes.

I've seen someone colonize about fifty jars with just a single contamination.

None of the jars were pressure cooked.

The jars were wide-mouth with four holes in the lid for air exchange and injection.

No cotton plugged them, no micro pore tape. Instead, aluminum foil was placed on the jars.

The jars were cleaned before injection by steaming them in a normal stockpot for three hours.

One jar was steamed for just thirty minutes and did not contaminate with a substrate of flour with extra chaff mixed in. (2:1:1 chaff, flour, water, in that order.)

Aside from that one jar, normal PF Tek was used.

All worked fine with no pressure canner, auto clave, etc.

Thus I conclude the most common cause of contamination is a dysgenic couple of spores taking too long to colonize.

I advise everyone to ignore all the rules set up by these amateur growers larping like actual scientists.

I pressure cooked 21 jars of BRF at 12 PSI for 60 minutes and inoculated them all with spore syringes in front of a flowhood. 3 grew mycelium but never fruited because they were so bacteria laden, 18 grew mold in various amounts of time. This is with standard PF Tek lids with 3x MP tape. So yeah, disregard whatever you feel and come tell us why you think the spores ooked you in the dooker.

Your experience that brf jars can be steam sterilized? That isn't some sort of revelation. People do it all the time. It's the pf tek.

You've exposed yourself as either dumb or egotistical by saying I didn't use 50 PF Tek jars, with one jar of regular flour and chaff that was steamed as well with no contamination.

What you're experiencing is true childishness, like I've attacked your dogma taught by your very own mother.

You aren't making a clear point for why people can't be satisfied with PF Tek, and I've yet to see regular flour or other substrates fail with just steaming. '

I was never satisfied with pf tek because I like growing a shit ton of mushrooms. That's why I use grains. Grow however you want to grow. Be sure to keep us informed with your results.

The general consensus on the best practices for growing isn't gospel and it has certainly changed over time. The advice of TC's and others with experience is pretty solid because they've proven what does and doesn't work. To come in here and bump a 7.5 year old thread and say that legit growers in this community are "amateur growers larping like actual scientists" is an obvious attempt at trolling, so I'm clearly wasting my time by typing all of this out. Good luck man.

All communities are toxic to me with their zealotry that's disguised as legitimate experience when it's all just egotistical ways to find meaning in their boring lives. what I said was for the few who have doubts about what is commonly advised as necessary, using "logic" but from a starting point of untruths. The result is a system of lies, illogical lies, unpractical wastes of time and effort. The few who want to hear doubt, I have provided them with it.

And as is common practice on all forums, old posts get revived if a new thought wants to be added.

they use "logic"* and make systems of logical lies

by the way, you still haven't proven PF Tek is the only magical tek that doesn't need 3 hours of pressure cooking to "sterilize it" from mold spores. Would you boil your syringes for even 10 minutes before using them? SILLY. Most of what needs tobe killed gets killed by boiling, strong spores grow quickly, and those spores are the ones we want anyway. Doing large jars is silly, anyway, as the point is to select jars that grow quickest. You cant perpetuate a specific culture, you always need to colonize with new spores to prevent inbreeding.

Far too much has been assumed with a priori "logic", mere hypotheses asserted by layman limit the possibility of an easier way for the layman individual to creatively grow their mushroom, and discover a new technique even if not discovering a science to share with anyone else, for the purpose of growing in whatever quantities they wish for themselves.

If some of us didn't ignore what those before us said was impossible there would be no technological advance. We would still ride horses and think flying was reserved for the birds. However, this forward thinking is only a friend to the few as the masses in general are incapable of such ideas that will actually work.

That is debatable depending on if a flowhood or SAB is used. If flowhood, not really. SAB, yes.

IME contaminated spores. When I started using agar my contamination rate dropped to 0% for most batches overnight.

I should also mention I noticed a significant improvement before that switching to dry spore inoculations instead syringes. With syringes I was losing entire batches sometimes.




Interesting! What is dry spore inoculations?

And I would say the main reason for infections comes from the inoculation step.

I assume he means swabbing or using an inoculation loop to spread a spore print on agar. Bacteria loves water and from what I've seen people sometimes have issues using a dirty spore syringe + the extra water that comes from squirting it on a plate.

I think you kind of missed the mark brother, if we tell someone how to do something, and they go mess it up, they're going to come back they're going to say a bunch of crap about us as well as a bunch of trash talk! Why in any right mind, when we get out misinformation or try and talk about a process being performed wrong?

The PF technical is about as effective as the creation of spore syringes. it is great if you are attempting to recreate a defining moment of history, but we have come forward with way better methods of cultivation.

Get me a picture of a PF cake with a canopy. I'll wait. The creation of popularity circling the pressure cooker basis on the idea that water is boiling hotter than its normal temperature, which kills all of the endospores in bacteria that mutated to survive that temperature. there is not some intrinsic, exclusive process that is taking place here. You need to grow some balls and not be scared of your pressure cooker, and then try and use your smug phonetic dialogue to tell other people that they have to do something that is most likely going to have their growth space condemned.

This thread is super old, if the search engine didn't do what you wanted it to, then this has been some beef you've been chewing on for a while, brother. I will forget more about mycology today then you will learn in the rest of your life, so I'm just going to say goodbye right back to you because you have me pretty annoyed.

Tell yourself somebody wants to hear your opinion and it might come true. Just "believe in it above all else" lol.
