Contamination or No Contamination?
    #21842291 - 06/22/15 04:45 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

First time shroomer here! I have 13 jars, all showing signs of myc, but some I'm not 100% if its myc or something I should be worried about.


Jar on the left of the picture is my healthiest myc for comparison (I'm so proud), but the jar on the right is pretty cloudy with normal-looking myc running into it?

I'm wondering if I have two kinds of myc in it, plus I added gypsum (which is brown/red and its been showing in my other jars). Otherwise, if you guys think it's contamination and not cloudy mycelium or something, it looks like Sour Rot. That particular jar also has a lot of condensation on the sides and I'm thinking it may be too wet.

This is another jar showing similar Is-this-contamination-or-myc



So what do you guys think?

That right one definitely looks like a contam.
Your moisture levels also look a little high in both cases, it also doesn't look like you have much of a dry verm layer, should be a half inch of fine verm on top to act as a barrier. If for whatever reason verm is scarce use paper tape on your holes.

Aw man that's a huge bummer that is it contam :frown:
What kind do you guys think it is?

And I do have a verm layer, but I guess since you can't see it from the side of the jar, I might have not put enough in. What will paper tape do? Will it decrease the moisture or just be a barrier for protection?

Either way, thanks for both your responses!
