Contamination in Mono Tub?
    #19283361 - 12/16/13 11:19 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Was getting ready to fruit these in a few days when I noticed two areas that are slighter darker (and a tint greenish).  If tub hasn't been opened, is this room/house still decent?  Any input is greatly appreciated.

Mold that sucks man i wouldnt give up on it yet but my guess is any shrooms that pop up wont grow well meaning slow but when this happened to me shrooms had popped up already. Wait for more advice but my off hand guess is to much water not enough sterilization or just unlucky.

Yes. Just keep the place clean, especially clear of dust.

This was done using coir/verm and the temp in the house is the high sixties.  There seems a lot of condensation on the inside of the tub but it's during the first phase and it hasn't been opened.  I used boiling water pasteurization and cleaned the inside of the tub before using.  Any idea what could have caused this?  Am I dealing with Trich or another kind of mold?  If another kind, is it possible to cut away/disinfect that area (by spraying with alcohol)?  If not, what is best way to get the tub back for future use without spreading mold?  It's been cold here, would leaving it outside for a while be good enough to kill the mold?  Lots of questions here, your time and input is appreciated.

From the looks of it it's actual Trich. Considering how quickly it showed up it was probably in your spawn. You should always smell your jars before you spawn them even if they look healthy. If they have a dirt-like smell rather than the normal mushroom smell they're contaminated.

Trying to cut it out will help spread mold around and isn't effective anyway. The mold mycelium inside the substrate has been colonizing all over that substrate for some time now. That's why you didn't see it until now. Probably the best thing you could do is bury it outside and when it gets warm enough, if the mycelium is still capable of fruiting, you might find some mushrooms around where you buried it.

I'm quite new to this but the jars had a distinct smell to them when I opened them that I could only describe as "mushroom like".  I'll throw the tub outside and bury it if it warms up.  By opening the tub, won't the spores stick to my clothing and then be reintroduced back into the house when I come inside?  Can I sterilize my clothing outside by spraying myself with Lysol or am i over thinking this situation?

Most mold spores should be removed when you wash them. I would avoid contact with other substrates if possible until then.
