Do these jars look ok? (w/pics)
    #21311710 - 02/22/15 04:10 AM (9 years, 10 months ago)

Hey there been a long time that i havent posted.

I have some jars about to complete colonization yet i have seen some brighter whites in the jars i would love to know if these are alright to go to fc or there are some nasty stuff going on. Probably just some broken kernels sticking to the glass and colonizing heavily but wanted to ask for your opinions guys







any comment will be appreciated peace = )

Bright white can be mold myc.  When u open it up just give it a big sniff.  Mushroom smell - ok
Yeasty smell - bacteria and id still try to fruit
sweet smell - bacteria and id still try to fruit
woody smell  - mold, drop kick it out the window.

Another test for contamination is to break it up and see if it recovers in 2 days.

No.  Breaking up spawn to see if it's contaminated is a poor method of contamination checkin, and is counter productive. 

The smell check is the best way to detect if your myce is contaminated if you can't visually tell.

Furthermore, bacteria doesn't smell "Sweet" at all.  Mushroom mycelium smells sweet.  Bacterial smells more like ammonia, or a trash can that's been sitting in the sun all day on a hot summers day.  Bacterial isn't pleasant to the pallet at all and will cause you to choke if you inhale it.

Differentt bacteria smell differently.  Sweet smelling lightly alcoholly is a sure sign, and yeast like also for me.

Best you wait for a TC as if this guy doesnt like the shake test which all the TC advise im confused.  Ive used all the above methods to great effect but now their is a spanner in the works.  Im going to try to find some references for you to back up my statement

If it smells sweet and no mushroom smell, it's contaminated with bacteria.  Toss it out.

Those look like they have bacteria in them.

I've spawned bacteria jars just fine. IMO for garunteed success top-case it. My avatar was top-cased bacterial grains.
