Beige blobs and now wet spots on rye. Contaminated?
    #22148234 - 08/26/15 06:42 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Are these slimy looking beige blobs contaminates?  How about these wet spots?  Water, or something else?  I think I loaded my grains a little too wet.  They definitely weren't soaked though.  My jars are looking pretty healthy otherwise.

Too wet is possible...

However it looks like u may have cooked too long to me, or at too high of a temperature as well as having too much water... What is ur sterilization method? Water ratio(cup of grain to cup of water)?

It has been awhile since I've grown, but I remember my grains imploding when I cooked too long or at to high of a pressure..
They also got this slimy look when this happened. Once the slime came I would get worried because they often contaminated.

I was able to save them sometimes before contams, not all the time though.  Yours don't look gone yet..  there's not enough discoloration as of now for me to say for sure there is or isn't a contaminant...

What is your incubation temperature? The water buildup could be from too high temperature during incubation, causing sweating.

Maybe someone who is currently practiced will step in and give u much more solid answers.
A little more information may help them out to give u better answer.

Hope this helped.

It looks bacterial IMO.

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21890806#21890806 bacteria in spawn. You can also get it from prepping the substrate too wet. If you read in the link it explains what happened when I spawned bacterial spawn.




The rest is either condensation (perfectly normal) or imploded grains. All still fine. As said before from the simmer. Altho if you have a good hydration, you can pc for a long ass time without imploding grains (4+ hours). It's the simmer that does it. (Because it's submerged in water).
