Generally speaking, green/blue molds are usually safe for a human to be around but cultivators should still limit there sporulation in our homes/grow rooms, for obvious reasons.
I knew a grower from a few years back who almost died from coming into contact with fusarium. He was sick for weeks if not months. This was years ago, so I don't remember all the details. His story, which I know was true, was enough to really set in my mind to never fuck with molds I can't truly identify.
That's kinda silly to think. Like I said don't fuck with molds man.
Fusarium can grow in humans. I'm sure there's other molds and bacteria that could be problematic. If you can't identify it just toss it.
Fusarium is more common in grain spawn not in fruiting substrates. Are we talking about grain spawn or fruiting substrates? I don't think any sane grower would open a pink grain spawn before sterilizing it.

I get it. Still though there is grains in substrates. There is a chance the contaminated substrate came from the spawn. They say 9/10 times actually.
This is why you give your jars a shake and recovery before you make the substrate. Molds can be hiding too.

From what i know that pink mold is very aggressive it will not remain hidden, it will eat through any mushroom mycelium. You would have to be blind to not spot that pink mold in your spawn before spawn to bulk. I don't think any fruiting substrate common molds are harmful enough to get you to the hospital, even some black molds that are more common in fruting substrates won't kill you for breathing a brief time the spores.

I personally wouldn't, but I also don't use dirty spawn. There's lots of people in this world. For educated individuals it wouldn't happen.
Lots of people get molds in their bulk and it's from dirty spawn, personally I always wonder why people miss dirty spawn. But I know there's all types of people.. I wouldn't assume that a guy who's washing every contamination off is educated. Just saying. Like I said before if you're trying to wash off EVERY contamination you see you'll eventually run into a bad one. Why gamble it?

I think you're mistaking mold which was misidentified as mushroom mycelium starting to sporulate as mold eating through mushroom mycelium. Fusarium, which is a common pink/purple mold, is notoriously slow to start sporulating, anywhere from 1-3 weeks after starting to grow depending on the medium. It also grows at about the same rate as mushroom mycelium and looks very similar before sporulation.

Wow that guy got that purple pink mold in all his spawn. Well, then it would be safer if you let pass some time at least 1 week your spawn after full colonization in search for any signs of pink/purple sporulation. It seems that the guy in the picture didn't complete sterilization.

From what I've gathered on the contamination forum the majority of cases are from contaminated spores. If you've ever poured a bag of dry grains the dust it releases into the air is rich with the stuff. If it's done near where mushrooms are growing that dust can wind up on the gills and contaminate the spores of any print made from it. Particularly bad for those making spore syringes but on agar it may not have time to sporulate either before it's used.
In grain jars normally it shows up by full colonization so it's not that common to find on bulk substrates. In PF cakes it normally sporulates at about half colonization.

people are overly concerned about contaminated substrates, health, and contaminating their home. go for a walk in the woods and you're exposed to more contamination than you could ever grow. just don't be a retard about it and you'll be fine. there's no reason to go bio level 4 because you have a pink jar though, that's dumb.

Yes i was thinking that too, for getting that mold in all your grain jars of pf tek, it was either a sterilization problem or a problem with the spore solution.
If you use spore solution to inoculate your spawn you may find this mold more often than if you were using agar. For grain spawn it may show the purple/pink color near the end of full colonization, still very hard to not spot it before spawn to bulk? Or we would have more often cases of purple/pink fruiting substrates in the contamination forum.

Lol I'm just trying to clarify that I didn't say to go and bleach your room or pc your substrates. I was pointing out the dangers of handling/washing/disecting every contaminated substrate in open air and tried to discourage op from doing it. I'm not saying what you guys say is wrong because I don't go over board for every contam but there is risks in this hobby and it doesn't hurt to make newbies aware.
Like everything in life, no such thing as being too safe.

Glad you somehow had good luck with it... Bleach, proper PCing, and clean inoculations are key. Peroxide has only ever 1. Salvaged me some myc by burning off bacteria on horrible projects gone wrong as a whole, and 2. Added more oxygen to the distilled water in my ultrasonic humidifier.
