I'm not saying that there isn't a contamination. That is why I am asking questions and looking for help. Again I have looked at contamination and done research on what I could find. And some of these jars I shook really really hard.Quote:

Poly? Also I took every precaution that I could to try and be as sterile as possible. This is my first time trying to grow mushrooms.

What kind of Contam do you think this is? Specifically so that I can do research on how to prevent it for next time. There is no smell coming from my Tub that I have the jars in and I will be sure to smell them and make sure I smell no odor before I try and fruit them.

to prevent it's simple, use a filter material, far too many contams out there to tell you for sure

So something other than freshness. Gotcha. I always figured like a rotten or moldy smell.

I am thankful for all the help guys. Mainly because no one else has really bothered to try and help. Again I will make sure to smell them and make sure. I am hoping that it was just me shaking them really hard but knowing my luck I dout that to be the case

So to begin with I prepared my jars with rye and water with the foil on top. Pressure cooked the jars for 1hr at 15psi. Had to do this a few times because cooker only fit 5 jars. When they were done I took them into a bathroom that I sprayed with bleach, everywhere and cleaned everything too. I took the jars out of the pressure cooker and left them in the bathroom why I did the other jars. After they cooled, I sprayed the air again and counter with bleach as well as the inside of the tub I am using and the box that I used to hold my jars. I turned off the air before this, I then took the foil off the tops of the jars, flamed the tip of the needle that I was using and proceeded to inoculate the jars. I had to move them from one location to other location after the whole procedure. Out into the cold and to another place. Living situation was shitty. Never taking them out of the tub or box and never removing the foil. Again other than being forced to move them from location to location. Tried to be as sterile as possible. Also I know that moving them was not the best idea but I had no other choice.

look up a soak and simmer tek for your grains, much better results with a 24 hour soak and a simmer, also look into building a still air box for best results and always use a filter material like pollyfill or tyvek or synthetic filter discs

Try making a sab. (still air box) It will help you reduce contaminants and you wont have to do it in a unsterile bathtub. (no matter how many times you spray it) And does it have a filter on it?
