Strange Turkey Tail mycelium, possible contam?
    #21664065 - 05/11/15 04:52 AM (9 years, 9 days ago)

Hey guys,

Nocced up ten jars of Turkey tail on WBS. Myc looked healthy, gave them a shake and they were at 100% a few days ago and still looking healthy. Today I checked the jars and found that ALL jars looked a bit strange and had some yellowish / off white spots. Having never grown Turkey Tail before I'm not sure if this is normal, particularly because every jar is the same. Pics below.

Looks over colonized.  Your going to need a spoon to get it out of that jar.

They colonized super fast, only reached 100% a day or two ago. Does the mycelium look normal for Turkey Tail or am I looking St contam?

Looks like the TT is fighting off bacteria. Maybe your jars were too wet.

Strange, I used the same method I've used in the past, PC'd at 15psi for nearly 2 hours. Inoculated in front of a flow hood from a clean agar plate. Not sure how every jar has been contaminated :facepalm3: dammit!

You can try giving one of the jars a sniff to try and conform if it's bacteria.

Opened a jar last night and whilst it didn't have an "offensive" smell like other contaminated jars I've smelled, it didn't smell exactly like fresh shrooms. Though I've never grown Turkey Tail before so I'm not sure if this is normal or not.
