Reshi contam? can someone give me some advice please
    #21692853 - 05/17/15 11:23 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

So this is my first reishi grow, and second grow ever.. I'm a total noob! I can find a lot of info on cubensis, and other species, but I was unable to find much info on reishi contaminations. Basically the picture says it all. There is some strange dark red bumps on one of my mycelium cultures, but the other looks fine. Metabolites appear to surround the bumps a lot more than the rest of the culture. From what I understand, the yellow liquid (metabolites) is the mycelium's way of fighting off contaminations. The contam formed before opening the jar, and the culture was inoculated around two months back







here's the healthy culture


Also, I'm growing these in a monotub, but instead of spawning to bulk, I just filled the tub with about four inches of perlite, and set the cakes (still in the jar) on top.

Looks like it is supposed to. Reishi can look a little weird when it starts to fruit. I don't see anything right off that screams contamination.

Oh awesome thanks cloudy! I was about to throw these out today, because i was worried that I was going to contaminate future grows.  One more thing.. should I worry about water accumulating on top of the myc? In the pictures, some areas look grey. That's actually water, and I've been dumping it into the perlite a couple of times a day

As long as it does not cover the pins I would not worry too much, though keeping it drained is not a bad idea. Too much water may promote bacterial growth if it doesn't intermediately dry up.
