Mold on Jiffy
    #22325298 - 10/02/15 07:12 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Opened up a bag of Jiffy Mix to make a casing this evening and found this unpleasant surprise:



I couldn't in good conscience use this soil, even though I was going to be properly pasteurizing.

I know people pasteurize manure and compost which is bound to be full of mold spores and bacteria like what I found, however, it was so in my face I couldn't bring myself to use it.

So my question is, did I make the right choice in tossing the bag, or should I have sucked it up and used it?

Ive had a bag of Jiffy mix tht was green. (trichoderma)
Still used it. Pasteurized @ 160°F for 75mins
Worked great on all my Panaeolus tubs, which gave me 3-4 consecutive flushes.

That has to say something since Panaeolus sp. tends to be more prone to contamination due to their weak mycelial structure.

All that being said; I'd say you should "have sucked it up and used it"
