Are these jars contaminated?
    #19256592 - 12/10/13 05:42 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

So I made mistakes, I learned from them and wont make them again. Can someone tell me which of these i can keep, and which to throw, these jars have been separated from the other 5 that are still good. Is there any way to keep these are they contaminated(I'm fairly sure they are).

Seeing that no one has answered, I'll give it a shot. I am nowhere near as experienced as many of the people on here but I've got some experience.

First off, I'd say that any jars which have discoloring (i.e. anything but white) are likely contaminated - 4, 5, 6, and 7. Either pitch those or reuse if you'd like, just make sure you use a legitimate sterilization process.

1 looks like wet-spot to me.
2 has two different colors of white if I'm seeing that correctly, which would lead me to believe one is myc and the other is not. (and also maybe some discoloration)

3 looks solid.

They look contaminated to me. I'd pitch them and start over with new jars.

They're a bit on the wet side (too much humidity inside) but I think it's just metabolites from mycellium. Metabolites are a sort of byproduct of mycellium in liquid form. Some accumulation might increase chances of contamination but it's harmless per se.

You should think about birthing all 100% colonized jars.

edit: Regarding jars 5,6 and 7. Those black spots can be spores from inoculation or a contam. You should know when you birth them. I'm more inclined into thinking it's not contamination because it's rare to contams to get hold of substrate when it's almost 100% colonized by mycellium. But it can happen. Just report back with more pics in a couple of days.

I wouldn't birth ANY cake that's contamed. You can release the baddies into the rest of your house and ruin future grows. Take them outside!

Ill birth a few with the black spots tomorrow and let everyone know. I'm paranoid now so here's the other 5, one i doesn't have anything all around except for one spot and I'm not sure it will grow so ill probably toss it. There is water drops, but no smell so I don't think its bacteria
