WBS jars ready to spawn? First time cultivator
    #23489333 - 07/29/16 01:37 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

Hi all! I'm working on my first grow and things seem to be going well enough. However when it comes to mushrooms I've known from day 1 it's better to check with the experts before making a move, whether it's ID'ing wild species or cultivating.

After a few errors (like forgetting a GE hole in the first jars I sterilized -_-) I'm left with 2 seemingly healthy and colonized jars. Been colonizing 2.5 weeks or thereabouts from an agar culture I started from Penis Envy #6 MS inoc. However one of them has not been able to colonize the bottom little half inch of the jar. I can see where the myc has tried and it just looks absolutely soaked. The jars very well may have contained too much moisture and it's pooling, but I can shake the jar and the grains move a little bit. Or... contam. The actual colony of myc though seem to have solidified pretty thoroughly, in fact it's shrinking from the jar edge in spots. Ah why am I still typing, here's the pics:






First 2 are good looking jar, 2nd is question jar.

Basically I just want more experienced assurance that the first jar pictured is good to go (after sniff test) and advice on what to do with the second. If it's healthy I'd obviously like to spawn it as well but if it's not or if there's a chance it's not healthy, should I not open it near the other jar or spawn area?

I do actually own a horse so if it's contam I can always try to spawn outdoors, there's no shortage of substrate here. Thanks for reading.

EDIT holy shit, my jars look absolutely cotton white compared to other ones I'm seeing. The myc was never really rhizomorphic but damn, did I wait TOO long? Probably...

IDK man. The jars don't look the best. The wet look makes me think maybe there is a contam. When the bottom does not colonize that is another sign of contam. Someone else should weigh in before you take my word tho.

I'm sorry, but they all look bacterial.

Luckily I have lots of agar cultures. What makes it look that way, the moisture? Just for my own education. Thanks, saved me a lot of hassle pasteurized hpoo for nothing lol.

The jars should not have visible liquid on the walls. I believe I read one of RR's posts where he says that jars on the dryer side colonize faster and he prefers them that way.

It's the thick ice cream look that gives it away.

Is that white material myc at least? I'll definitely dry the grains better next go, I was impatient and shouldve known there aren't shortcuts!

It is mycelium but it's myceilum that's reacting to tons of bacteria.  I wouldn't spawn a single one of those.  You probably could, and maybe get an ounce or two, from all of them, but I wouldn't spend time on it personally.
