Swab the possible contam spot with a cotton swab. If it is indeed trich spores (green contam) they will rub off onto the swab, unlike bruised myc which shouldn't.

On another note, people fear a color growth like this one is a contam, but it's just light myc making it's way around.


See, no worries.

The qtip test is NOT bad information - it is simply susceptible to false positives. If it doesn't come off you know it isn't trich.

The q-tip test has been debunked for years.

There is no q-tip test.  It's total bunk.  Bruised mycelium will easily rub off on a q-tip and this has resulted in thousands of perfectly fine, but dry cakes being tossed out over the years due to that misinformation.

It gives false positives is all that quote says. That's exactly what my post says. If it rubs off, you haven't learned anything. If it doesn't you have. I've used the qtip test with success keeping this in mind.
