rust spot or contam?
    #20254275 - 07/10/14 05:30 PM (10 years, 6 months ago)

Hey everyone, I'm concerned about a couple of my pf jars and was looking for some advice. These jars are at 95% colonization (using brf PF Tek) and I just noticed that two of my jars have these "rust" looking rings/spots coming from directly under the inoculation holes. There is a verm layer although it looks like the mycelium has taken over that as well. Also, another jar has had a very slow growing white mold blotch that has become the size of a quarter in the amount of time the mycelium has almost fully colonized. The mycelium is growing around it and through it now(seems very healthy).
Question 1: Any chance this could just be rust from the inoculation holes running down?
Question 2: Is the jar with the white blotch a deal breaker contam? If not, is it possible that my mycelium can beat it, or make the jar savable or should i just toss it?

*sorry about the length but i wanted to be as thorough as possible.

i don't know an awful lot about contam (yet), but i know a bit about chem/rust/mason jars.  Canning jars, mason jars and the like WILL totally rust, pretty easily actually.  (esp. if you cleaned them with a hydrogen peroxide solution).  But from your photos that doesn't look like it could be a rust thing going on.  I'm sorry i totally wish it was.  Just based on the size/distribution it doesn't look like rust.
I hope i'm wrong.

Looks like bacteria. I'm not too optimistic about the health of that jar.
