Can I spot inject clorox solution to deal with small contamination on large sawdust block?
    #21748787 - 06/01/15 02:25 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

I've got a large block of Hericium americanum. It's about 2 weeks post inoculation and I've noticed a quarter sized bumpy green contamination - looks like some kind of mold. I don't want to open the whole thing up to cut the section out (I have no flow hood).

Can I spot inject a clorox solution to deal with it?

No. It sounds like trich to me. Trich is green and has a powdery/sandy look. You should probably throw it out/bury it to reduce the amount of spores in your home.

A flow hood would just blow the contam spores all over your work space... it's not a magical thing that is contamination free. Flow hoods require a special touch. It's a technique that's developed with experience. Same with a still air box.

I think you should make some agar, inoculate it with spores, get some clean mycelium with no trich and make a grain/wood/cardboard spawn recipe. Get it in a jar or bag with a filter for gas exchange.

Then spawn it to your sawdust block or a bed or something. That way you'll have a major upper hand. It'd probably be colonized really quickly if you mixed it in well enough.
