trouble with shaking?? advice needed
    #22119222 - 08/20/15 10:27 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Okay guys been awhile since i used the Shroomery. all the information ive been given is spot on from you guys. I have been getting grains down (mostly WBS) and recently switched to rye berries, did acouple popcorn jars just to see witch i liked more. everything is going good but i shook a rye jar(at about 30-40% kinda late i know) and was drawn to another task so i did not shake the rest. I went to check my jars a day later and the one shaken jar has horrific bacterial growth. a nasty yellow fuzz covering my myc. i can post pics if need be. now i am scared if all my jars are contam or should i just avoid shaking the rest?

I don't think jars contaminate by shaking--but you can surely spread an already existing problem that way. But,. if there is bacteria growing secretly in a jar, sooner or later it will make itself known. I recently had a clear tupperware minimono going--it was a substrae of coir and coffee grounds spawned with colonized rye berries.Things were going nicely for a week, but there was a band of substrate that stubbornly refused to get white. Finally I shook the tub--it had a cover on it--to distribute mycelium evenly throughout the substrate. Growth from that point seemed to stop. Later I opened the lid, sniffed, and ugh, what a smell!

I hope that is not going to be your experience.

shaking is actually a good way to check for contaminates. the jars were already contaminated before you shook them. it was just the temporary damaging of the mycelium that allowed the contam to gain a foothold and show itself. had you not shaken it, it would have just contaminated whatever you spawned it to, like a monotub.

a healthy jar will recover from a shake with no issues.

thanks for the reply. so should i just shake and pray that there is no contams? in your experience if one jar is contam do the rest follow suit?

If you don't shake the contams are still there...so shake before you spawn them and watch how they recover. Sucks to find out after you make a few tubs!
