What does 'full recovery' really mean? Thread for people new to grain spawn. * 2
    #22237245 - 09/14/15 03:40 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

It's taken almost as a given that before we commit to using or transferring spawn that we check for contamination.  A lot of people smell their jars when they're opened but I personally wait to do that for when I'm actually spawning. I don't like to get my face too close to the jars during G2G transfers.

Anyway one of the best ways to check for contamination is to simply break up the spawn in the jar and see if the mycelium recovers.

How fast should that happen? And what does full recovery really mean?

These are three suspect jars and one jar I was pretty sure would be clean. They were all shaken roughly 16 hours ago around the same time.



Within 16 hours the mycelium has 'recovered' which simply means that it has begun to recolonize evenly, everywhere in the jar.

The other three which I suspected had bacteria because there were some yellow metabolites forming.

I'd like to point out (slightly off topic) that the three suspect jars are using my old ass lids that I made when I first started working with grain spawn so they are almost two years old now and they have probably worn out (or I just did a shitty job making them but they seemed to work for a year or so)

There ya go, that's what a fully recovered jar should look like 24 hours after shaking.
