it's a test. it will tell you if it's fucked, but it won't tell you you're 100% safe.

Right on man. Im no T C but I have never spawned any rye that looked or smelled questionable and Ive had plenty of trich.

Its pretty good at hiding. It usually waits till fruiting to show itself IME

it's usually bacteria that inhibits recovery after a shake. trich is white and most have a hard time distinguishing it recovers too with the shake and so will the cube mycelium.

I actually didnt know that. I knew it was good at hiding though. Ive never had bacteria, at least not bad enough to cause a problem. So shake tests, smell tests rarely show contams for me cause I mostly get trich.

100% certain this is Trich. It's hard to detect because it can colonize the grains that are also colonized by mushroom mycelium but all you'll see is the mushroom mycelium.

I've had trich-contaminated jars show reluctance recovering, and full-on sporulation in the jar once.  I'll grant that it's rare, though, and probably limited only to jars with polyfill lids that allow too much GE and also apparently trichoderma spores.
