Black Pin Mold Prevention
    #19468770 - 01/24/14 06:01 PM (10 years, 11 months ago)

I recently got BPM on my nearly fully colonized monotub. I'm not sure what caused this or how I can prevent this in the future. Contaminated spawn might be the culprit? I pasteurized my substrate as per Frank's pasteurization tek. I think it is possible that my substrate was too hydrated. I had seen some water standing on top of the mycelium. Seems most probable now that I'm writing this. So how might this have happened?

If you used a thermometer to properly  pasteurize your bulk sub, the mold likely came from your grain spawn. Pin molds like a high carb sub.

It does no good to ask if you don't name your substrate.  For example, molds won't germinate on coir in the two weeks or less it takes to colonize, so if that's the substrate your mold came from the spawn.

My substrate was coir and verm. So I guess the verdict is that it was the spawn.

The pooling of water on top of the mycelium would only be conducive to bacterial infection I take it?
