Gray mold?
    #23360625 - 06/19/16 11:44 AM (7 years, 7 months ago)

Hello all! First time poster here, but a long time lurker. I have recently taken it upon myself to grow my very own mushrooms using the trusted PF Tek. I have twelve jars that were inoculated a week ago with some syringes I acquired from one of the site sponsors. Ten of the twelve jars were inoculated with a syringe containing the Wollongong strain. These jars showed remarkably fast growth initially, but now there are some serious signs of contamination. At first I wasn't overly concerned because I read that the Wollongong mycelia often look different (more ropey?). Well, now I'm not so sure. The other two jars were inoculated with a different strain, South African Transkie, and they seem to be doing just fine. There is absolutely no sign of any gray mold like there is in the other jars. Since I followed the same procedure with all the jars, I think that the syringe may have contained possible contaminants. o what would you guys recommend? Are these salvageable, or should I start from scratch? If so, what is the best way to dispose of the infected jars? Bury them?







Here are the two jars that are showing no signs of contamination:



Like I said, these were all prepped the same way, which leads me to think the problem lies with the syringe. Let me know what you guys think.

Bury them. Hella contaminated. I'd recommend that you get into agar if you want to get some clean mycelium growth out of the contaminated syringe.
