contamination escaping jars while growing mushies?
    #18897885 - 09/27/13 09:31 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I'm a bit paranoid of taking my mycelium jars out of their box... Is there any possibility if I let the jars grow in my room openly a contamination that would possibility be in one of them become airborne and infect me? I know this probably sounds really stupid:x
(my jars have a layer of verm on top and a lid with two holes for gas exchange)

What kind of precautions should I even take if there was a contamination in one of my jars?

There are really only 2 molds you have to worry about hurting you - Aspergillus Niger (the same black mold people talk about can infect your house) and another purple one that I can't recall the name of.

Your verm filter should keep any spores inside the jar. No need to keep them in a box, and it's actually prefferable to just have them on a shelf.
