Pink Contam ?? Help/Suggestions needed
    #19236026 - 12/06/13 11:15 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

This is my second attempt at pf tek cakes.

My first attempt was with spore syringes and pre sterilized substrate jars I purchased online.
They seemed to have failed ..... lack of mycelium growth and green/black/pink contam after incubating for nearly a month. I assumed it had to do with the pre sterilized substrates, and my poor sterilization during inoculation.

This is my second attempt. But this time I have made my own substrate, pressure cooking and being extra careful sterilization wise, and once again I've gotten this weird light pink colour with the mycelium growth. This photo is from today, which is 1 week into incubation. As well as I've used the same spores syringes (alacbenzi) as I did in my first attempt.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

looks like the spore syringes are contaminated if you use the same syringe with the same result
