Damnit.. Contaminated? (Pics)
    #19329585 - 12/26/13 04:38 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

I ran out of spore solution so I made my first spore print about a week ago. (Cap in tiny jar, squirt in water, suck out spore solution.)

So I know it is hard to tell from pictures exactly what's going on.. And especially my crappy quality pics.. But it's the best I got.



So.. The first few pics, if you can see, there's a tiny bluish spot in the middle of the rest. I have a feeling that it is contaminated, but that's not my main problem.. In the rest of the pics, I have a feeling it might be cobweb..? It just looks a lot thinner (?) than any of my other mycelium jars... I am really hoping you could tell me i'm wrong lol..

Usually when I inoculate, it took about 3 days to see any signs of growth. In this case, I left it for 2 days without taking a peek, and came back to see a lot more growth than I expected... But over the last 20h almost no growth. (My syringes were also a lot darker than the original ones if that plays any part in it.)

Thanks for any help, please ask questions if there is any info I left out. And if it is in fact cobweb, is there any way to treat it if it is still in the jar?

The first 3 look suspicious, although its hard to tell whats going on. Try placing the jars on a flat surface and then take a picture. This will improve the quality of your pictures.

I added a good jar as comparison. The jar with red is the one that looks contaminated. And the one in the middle of the 3 is like the first few pics that just seems not so marshmallowy.



Also, should I separate the ones with the bluish spot in them? I want to let it grow a bit longer to make sure it is a contam.

Let it grow a bit longer. The one with the red band seems to be growing much slower than the others, which could be nothing.
I'd wait a bit before deciding what to do.

Alright, thanks for your help.

But for my cobweb concerns, are there any determining factors to tell the difference between cobweb or mycelium? And if it is cobweb, is there any way to treat it in the jars?
