A couple questions about my jars (pf-tek)
    #22214126 - 09/09/15 08:13 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Hi all, this is my first time posting here! I've inoculated 6 jars with cubensis, and at about the 2 week mark I noticed a dark green colored contaminant in 2 of the jars. (I didn't get a picture of it.) I made a mental note to toss those two jars, but I forgot about them for another two weeks, and now they all look either fully colonized or nearly-fully (pictured).

A couple of the jars have some discolor, but I'm not sure if it's significant or not. The fully colonized jars look good in my opinion, but should I still toss them just to be safe? Or should I fruit them and wait to see what the shrooms look like? There are 2-3 shrooms already growing in one of the jars...

Any advice is appreciated, thanks.




- These are the same jars, just rotated.


- (Not yet fully colonized, not pictured above.)  This one has something that looks like rust on some of the substrate?


- This one has some brown discoloring in one spot.

First set of pics should get dunked and rolled. The last ones are contaminated. First with heavy bacteria, and 2nd with a grey mold/bacteria.
