If it doesn't smell like mushrooms toss it. Don't bump your own thread within 24 hours. Read the rules before posting. Maybe English would help you get more replies. Read the rules before posting.
And what's all this nebraska talk?

You just said it smells like basement. That's a sign of contam... Just because you cant see it doesn't mean it's a stimulus indicative of contams.

mushrooms often grow in damp basements, I found a mushroom in my basement before. Growing off some wet cardboard.
Perfectly logical that he thinks it smells like a basement instead of mushrooms.
Now if he said it smells like sour milk or had green spots on it I would say toss it.
With the grains, sometimes my jars smell like peanut butter when I open it to the air for the first time and then turns to a mushroom smell.

Might wanna check out your basement for fungal rot... In all seriousness though do you happen to have pictures of the jars?

Get some mushrooms and smell them, they smell musty as well. Seems to me you are describing the smell of mushrooms. lol
If the mycelium looks healthy and happy it is good to go. If they are 100% than it is time to spawn them. Unless you are doing PF tek, in that case you want to consolidate.

A change in appearance could indicate a contamination. Although there can be considerable variation. It sounds like you are just smelling a mushroom smell and the only thing you can compare it to is a basement. Your jars will probably be fine.
