Purple/magenta contamination
    #19351337 - 12/31/13 02:22 PM (10 years, 30 days ago)




Does anyone have any experience with this mold? It's claimed 6 of my 7 jars thus far.. My research leads me to deduce it may be neurospora, but I'm not sure..

Also, is there anyway I could let the jars fully colonize and then throw them in a tub outside to possibly salvage my grow?

Looks like all that is growing is that pink stuff.

I'd say throw it out and forget about it.

How did you deduce Neurospora sp.?

I don't think there's anything there to salvage.

The picture doesn't really do justice to the amount of cubensis mycelium that has already colonized throughout the jar. It definitely dwarfs the alien contaminate mold in comparison..
And, I guessed Neurospora simply based on the purplish tone.. However, through my research there are a variety of other contaminants that are purplish as well, so it's pure conjecture. I definitely could be wrong.

I think I may take the jars and throw 'em into the ground with some cow dung, and straw; and hope for the best, lol.

Fusarium maybe. The purple and the white all appear to be one mold in that jar. It's a common trait for molds to start off white and change color in areas as they mature.
