I am not sure if this is Oyster Mycelium or contamination?
    #19231801 - 12/05/13 03:34 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

It looks white no green and wondered if anyone knows if this is contaminated.  I was trying to grow Oyster Mushrooms in coffee grounds.  From what little i know about growing mushrooms i was wondering if this was the initial stages of Green forest mold?  Thanks for any help any of you can offer.

I'm only just about to start working on oysters, so i dont know much about the nature of the mycelia. How fast has it grown? what procedures have you followed? does it smell kind of sweet?

Does look like it could be a mold however.

I am very very new at this.  But what i did was i started the Oyster Mushroom Mycelium in 2 glass jars.  Once it was about 90% colonized i transferred the whole thing to this 5 gal bucket with sterilized coffee grounds.  This is my first attempt and hoping someone would be able to ID if it was contam.  I hope its not but just wanted to get a 2nd opinion.  Thank you for any help!

Yikes... im sorry but that doesnt sound too good. I believe that with coffee grounds you want to do a transfer in a sterile environment. such as into a mycobag in a glove box or flow hood. it doesn't sound like that was achieved, but we will see soon enough.

On a side note. If you have any more jars i would look into using pasteurized straw and doing a straw log. thats my plan for when i begin.
