Suspected growkit contamination advice needed
    #21899985 - 07/05/15 07:54 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hi all,
I recently purchase a mushroom grow kit as a tester because I was rather intrigued by everything. I am about 4/5 days into growing and now a feint green mold like structure has started to appear. Could someone confirm what it is/offer me advice on what to do.
Thanks in advance,
Taethon

It looks like green mold. I was thinking it could be bruised mycelium, but that would be a dark bluish color. There isn't much you can do, just wait and see if the mycelium can recover. But, I think you should just toss it and start from scratch.

I remember when I was first getting into this hobby(last summer), I purchased pre-made brf cakes for like 30$(a total ripoff) and they all contaminated after injecting them with spore syringes(in open air, lol). I was like f this shit and didn't pick it up again until late november. I stumbled upon some bulk teks that looked easy. I decided to get a PC and some WBS along with quart jars and I never looked back from then. Grains are fun to work with, and it is very satisfying to make a tub from scratch that produce amazing fruits!!

My suggestion is that if everything about mushroom growing is intriguing to you, like it was to me, I would highly suggest starting over and working your way through each step. Trust me, it's worth the time! :smile:

Yeah, I hope I can salvage some of the grow so the experience is not a complete waste. I am very up for your suggestion, and sent you a PM.

Cool I'd do the same thing, it sucks to waste hard earned money.
Didn't get your PM yet :confused:
