Hi all, thanks to @zombiwurm for replying to my last post. Have some updated photos (and figured out how to include images properly ) so I though i'd post again. These BRF cakes are just over 2 months old and i think looking really good except for a few possible contams in each. Can anyone help identify and is there any cause for concern or should we proceed with the dunk and fruiting?

Thank you!

Hi everyone, Was hoping if someone could give me an advise. I have 2 spots of dark green mold in my monotub (wbs and coco coir). I hace read on here that I can try to cut them out and cover the spots with salt. Anyone tried doing that before?
Thanks in advance!

Is there anything like this thread but specifically for agar contamination, to help identify them?

Do I have anything to worry about here, are they safe to eat? I think it’s pseudomonas or verticillium, stems are hollow too
This is 2nd flush after dunking substrate / floating harvest tek. Have since removed lid for FAE and drying but should I just harvest and toss? Obvs then bleach my whole grow area 
Thank-you in advance for your time and advice

They're still edible. It looks like at an earlier time they were drenched and got waterlogged.

2 out of 18 BRF Jars... So long Fare Well? [Re: Kizzle]

Howdy
To give a background on the grow started 2-16:
Purchased a grow kit online, "pre-sterilized" jars and all. Coupled with my poor technique looks like of the 18 pint jar BRFs: (3)nonstarters (1)definitely contam'd and thrown out (green mold) (12)looking good (2)I suspect contam and have isolated.
Here are the two in question: The first was a result of a slipped plunger that colonized half the jar almost within the first week. Looked good until sectioning appeared, the second growth looks white if not as bright as the first portion. What really bugs me is that there appears to be no rhizomorphic growth at the edges to match the brighter section. Here are some photos of that jar. The black marks are in the 3rd photo are left over from pen marks I was using to track progress.
   
And here is the second jar in question:
 
I'm 95% sure that these two are ready to be tossed, however I would love to hear any thoughts to the contrary as well as a possible identity of the contamination if anyone can provide. Thank you!

How bad is the contamination and is it a toss the whole tub situation?

This is the original grow:[image]Original https://imgur.com/a/BCOGcnf[/image]
This is the current grow that I think may be contaminated. Any thoughts on the difference in size and shape? https://files.shroomery.org/files/20-10/363943527-IMG_20200307_180811.jpg

Hey shroomers! I think these are pre-pin bumps but as a second-time grower, I just wanna make sure everything is honky dory. Thanks for reviewing and possibly giving me some feedback! Love y'all!

The color didn' change much. Primarily white with a little yellow, brown, and a tiny bit of green. I harvested the first flush today. It may have been a bit early but i had a mix of buttons to fully developed mushrooms. What's most interesting is how they differ from the grow that the spores came from. The prior grow had Longer skinny stalks and relatively small caps. This grow is filled with short stocky robust mushrooms.

Towards the bottom right corner I have a blue discoloration. Its a bit hard to tell since I just noticed this morning. This is my first grow and I just pushed my first fruting bin in a few days ago. Want to know if I should trash and start over or if I'm dealing with something other than blue mold

In front of the pin

It does seem a bit wet on the surface so I cracked the lid more for FAE. If anyone can help identify or has any suggestions that would be great, before I end up trashing it if it gets worse. Thanks!

Any ideas on what this might be? Looks like there's a little pool of gunk.

 Some of the stocks have developed these bubbles:
 Thanks in advance for any help!

Long time lurker, first time poster! I'm in the middle of my first ever grow and I'm worried about contamination.
I definitely made some mistakes - 7 out of 10 jars were possibly contaminated so I only fruited 3 of them. The grow looked good but one of my mushrooms was a little slimy under the cap. All the veils were broken, but it didn't seem like they dropped spores yet.
There is some blue that looks like it could be mold on the dirt on top of my cakes (they didn't quite colonize fully). Pictures for everything here: http://imgur.com/gallery/2xhk6Ai
Is this OK? Should I abort and try again? Thank you in advance

the fruits are fine I'm not sure if that's mold or bruising, if it's green it's contaminated
