Possible contam?
    #18789048 - 09/02/13 10:31 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Ok. So I recently started my first attempt at growing. I inoculated 14 jars. Within a week, 4 of them contaminated with trych. After about two weeks, most of the jars were at about 85% colonization, but seemed to stall. I had read somewhere that flipping them upside down would help them finish.

After doing so, now almost all my jars are at about 98% colonized, but one of the jars that was doing just fine up until this point is showing a slight blueish discoloration on a few spots on the bottom side of the jar(which is now facing up). It also so happens that this discoloration is occuring where moisture from the jar is dripping on the cake via condensation. Also, the blue spots dont appear to be growing in size.

So I guess my question is, is this bluing normal or contam? are my jars getting too much heat, hence causing too much condensation? Any info would be greatly appreciated, as I'd rather my first attempt have 10/4 ratio *though 9/5 for a first try is still not bad i think lol*

Oh and one last thing, if it IS a blue mold contam. I read somewhere the best way to check, while birthing, is while rinsing for the dunk and roll, to rub your finger across the area in question and if it smears or feels diff then its contam, if it feels like the rest of the mycelium, its fine. How sound is this reasoning??

Thanks.

edit: I'd upload some pics, but have no camera access at this time :frown: Also, I have my jars sitting at about 78f.

Without pictures, we can't really help you since we need to see the jar in question. We would just be taking shots in the dark and that helps no-one.

Yah I figured that would probably be the case. I'm going to try to use my friends ipod to take some pics of it today, not sure how well they will come out though, its kind of hard to see the discoloration on the cake as is. I may have to gently flip it back over so the myc. is touching the glass for a clearer pick, or find a better camera ;P lol
