https://This is my first grow and it seems to have stalled a bit.  The mycelium grew on rye and I mixed with a substrate of coco coir.  A white fluffy substance grew pretty quickly shown in the pictures.  It has stayed similar to this for about two weeks.  I am fine with patiently waiting this out, but if there is some contamination here I would like to know.

No contamination that I can see, just dry sub.

Are you fanning or anything like that?

I am doing good a small amount of fanning.  Humidity, as shown on my cheap hygrometer is in the high 90% from the perlite below the tin foil base.  Temperatures has been right around 70 degrees.

My advice would be to not do any more fanning, trim the foil back to where it is only very slightly larger than the cake, and then mist the mycelium until it forms thousands of little beads all over its surface.

Fanning is outdated. The perlite can’t do it’s job because moisture isn’t evaporating up and around the cake. The foil should basically be almost the same size as the cake. And there are good guides here for proper surface conditions, but if it isn’t maintaining all those beads of moisture on its own then there’s too much free air exchange going on. Passive air is good enough. If you put the lid on your tub and it isn’t air tight, that’s good enough.

It looks a bit wispy but let it grow a bit longer. Even if it's bacterial you can try top fruiting the jar and try to get a clone. You should have gone to agar first. Spore syringes are usually not contamination free. I have been lucky with getting a 50/50 failure rate going syringe to grain, usually it's a failure for most.

Swab (PESH) to agar 6 days ago. Any input on this one? Swabbed and then dunked the swab in agar.
Anything looking suspicious?

Sorry to say but I'm not seeing anything there I would transfer. Maybe someone with more experience will see something I'm not.

Further transfers will allow what's there to really take form. None of that is mold.

So where would you transfer from on that plate? I feel like I wasted so much agar now. :facepalm3:

If you dont have an eye for it I'd suggest taking a transfer from each colony, watch them grow out and take notes.

I have two colonized jars left made with no prep grain. Some have contaminated, some have been perfectly fine. Roll of the dice. Just to sharpen my eye, is this bacterial? I see some moist grains mashed up against the glass here and there. No competing mold, which was visible on the previous jars. These might be good to send for a single flush, or I could top fruit them.

Opinions?
