First grow. Contaimination or am I just worrying?
    #23374846 - 06/23/16 07:02 PM (7 years, 7 months ago)

Hey guys, this is my first grow and it's been a lot of fun so far! Here's a quick run down of info.

-I inoculated 5 jars at first.
-I inoculated 7 more a couple weeks later after seeing everything was going smoothly.
-I have well water (For my 2nd question)

Got 2 concerns. On one or two of my first 5 jars there is the nice smooth stringy mycelium, but a couple spots have fuzzy white areas. Is this mold? Is this mold harmful? I'm about to dunk and roll these guys and don't want to spread any possible contaiminations.




2nd concern is a slight discoloration on every single one of the 2nd batch of 7 jars. It's slightly brown but definitely noticeable, I tried to get the best picture I could. It's been like this for at least a week or two now. It never gets any darker but it does spread when the mycelium spreads.


This is an overview of one of the jars:


This is a close up to see the discoloration:


Like I said, it's my first grow so I may just be looking into it too much, but you can't be too careful right? I appreciate any input!

Everything looks fine, the top pic looks  bumpy because of hyphae knotting likely,,,,it wants to get birthed....there's a chance it can be some bacteria...just rinse the cake well before and after dunking...

As for the yellow discoloration, it is likely metabolites which are secreted by mycelium when it's under stress.....threatened by bacteria or just has too much food to digest....things look okay proceed as normal!
