Ice or crystal formed inside jars or is it contams?
    #19307948 - 12/21/13 12:57 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

I inoculated a shiitake jar and a with lion's mane. They were liquid cultures into a quart jar of rye each. I checked back today and it appears ice has some how formed on the inside of the jar. I'm baffled I have no idea what mold it would be if any.


Shiitake on right and lion's mane on left.

Ice ?! Only if you let the jars incubate at subzero temps. Did you ?

If you didn't, then I guess it's some specie of plasmodial slime mold. A member of the Myxomycetes class. It's contaminated. Sorry ...

The jelly like substance is looks like agar from the culture syringe making process.

That's a possibility.

Let's wait and see if SpiralHaze can give us some insight regarding the inoculation procedure.

I also think it is from the liquid culture. Definitely not ice but it probably was whatever the mycelium was getting it's nutrients from. I was just really confused because I have never heard of or seen of this before.
