Some pink stuff not sure what it is.
    #19116931 - 11/10/13 07:53 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

This is my first time growing.. inoculated on the 2nd of November and today only 2 of them had a small amount of mycelium growth(although both jars are contaminated so it doesn't matter) What's more concerning to me is that 14 out of 18 jars seem to be infected. Some have yellowish orange stuff growing but all have this salmon pink colored stuff. I thought it might be neurospora but all the pictures I have seen have been a lavender type color and mine are definitely pink..no purple at all. Also checked out lipstick mold and it doesn't really look like that either. Could someone help me figure out what this is and also why its happening? I was extremely sterile and followed the pf tek exactly.


This is one of the ones with both orange and pink growth. The pink is in the middle.


The top of this one some how caved in a few days after inoculating.. not sure why that happened or how it had the space to do that but I'm syre it didnt help with the contamination. This is the only one that it happened to. Has a ton of pink stuff at the bottom.


Has the pink all over




So those are just 3 of the jars so that you can see what I'm talking about the rest all look similar. Any help is much appreciated.

Okay so, a few problems. It doesn't look like you even have a dry verm layer, and the foil should have came off after sterilization. But i'd watch RR's PF Tek and follow it to the "T" toss them and start over man. Good luck!

It looks like the early stages of lip stick mold, if it is lip stick mold it should turn a reddish color over time and you probably got the contaminate from the syringe being infected.

Moisture content is too high in your jars. Except the second one. Not
sure how ya did that.

Good luck
