I guess I'll say it... Those cakes are contaminated already... Most likely bacteria... That is common in pf tek because syringes are always bacterial to some degree... That yellow line is where the myc "soaked up" the metabolites and dried out because lack of misting.

The cake does look a tad bit strange so that's probably correct. Sometimes mycelium will go yellow as it dries as well, without the presence of bacteria/metabolites. With spores to sub, I can see the former being more likely.

Truthfully it looks like a typical contam border.
Quote:
Kizzle said: Sectoring - When two different fungal species are growing in the same substrate they ternd to form distinct borders between the two mycelia. Often a line of metabolites may be seen where the two fungi meet. Hourglass shaped mold sectors in PF jars are almost always the result of a compromised dry vermiculite layer whereas circular mold colonies are usually the result of a mold growing from one of the inoculation points.
   
But it looks like it should be fine for fruiting imo. Maybe it's just a coincidence.. still looks like it is a border tho lol

Gnarly.
I hope he washed his jars with bleach or just threw them away and bought new ones. Don't want the spore load getting out of hand now do we?

I only made half a cake grow, chucked them before they matured. Agar and grains > everything else.

thinking that not washing your FC causes contams shows just how little you still know about how mushrooms are grown. You really should start paying attention to what people tell you.

Spawning clean grains to a filthy unwashed tub is a waste of time and spawn. What it is.

That's based off of you actually trying it for yourself?

OH really?
Haven't washed or drained the water in this tub for 3 grows, still growing shrooms just fine. And it's not really that bad, I've had worse looking tubs.

I feel more albinos coming your way.

I'll agree with you on that... Using a tub that is nasty is just that, nasty... But it is not the cause of contamination... And although it doesn't really matter all that much I do wash my tubs... That being said I have never washed my SGFC or my perlite...

listen, i agree that in general, cleanliness is always better. but just learn to accept when you're wrong, it's better for everyone involved.

Yeah. Yet I still grow these.

It isn't the reason why shit contaminates. Like what was said by loc. Dirty spawn is why.

Why not? It's harmless. That is proof that a dirty tub will not cause contams. Not really encouraging anything really, just proving you wrong.
Mad season already showed you how he had a moldy tub hidden in his basement for months with his furnace blowing mold spores everywhere. He also said how his polyfill is a few years old and dirty as fuck, still no contams. And why, you say? Well clean spawn, of course.
I suggest actually learning something about cultivation before you go around spreading bullshit around. Focus on what matters, your shrooms will thank you in the long run. Might even thank yourself.

That's just hopeless. I feel sorry for your boss.
Edit: Nice opt out by the way. I was just reading your responce to a neg rate saying how "pixelated shrooms" mean nothing to you. Spoken like a champ, if only you acted and gave advice like one.

that's one of my favorites. "I'm a mycologist" or "my friend's a mycologist and he says..." or "I'm a doctor in micro-biology"...
talk is cheap.
