Odd looking mycelium
    #23524275 - 08/09/16 08:38 AM (7 years, 5 months ago)

Can anyone tell me what this could be? I cannot see any spores, that is the color of the mycelium. It's bit of a grayish green with a suspicious looking fiber-like growth.



This is a re-sterilized (15 PSI for 90 minutes) jar that was contaminated with mold earlier. It's gone on for a bit over a week now without any problems. Inoculated with a multispore syringe.

Please spare me the why-the-fuck-would-you-do-thats :tongue2:

I really don't know if it's trichoderma. I had that before and it's way darker when it sporulates. Also, when it germinates there are tiny white spots everywhere, it looks very different.

Some other mold maybe? I'll hang on to this jar and try to find out.

Yeah some other mold than trich. Who knows exactly. Still isn't something I'd be holding onto the.

I thought I'd close the lid on this with a little update.

The odd growth was indeed a green mold. I found out that it hadn't spread very widely inside the jar when I shook it to break up the grain. I bathed the contents in mild hydrogen peroxide before opening the lid and scooped out a few spoonfuls of seemingly clean growth. I mixed the grain with about as much vermiculite and let it colonize under a foil. I was ready to toss it at any moment but surprisingly it colonized well. At full colonization I placed the substrate in an sgfc.

Over the next few weeks I picked a few nice fruits, probably not more than a few dry grams' worth, and ended up tossing the substrate for fear of mold when it stopped producing.

So yeah, sometimes it's worth it to experiment. I managed to make a completely clean jar of grain which I have now successfully transfered into 8 more pint jars.

EDIT: Just to clarify I did not make the jar from the contaminated spawn jar. I used spores. Lmao.

Lol! Damn if you continue doing this til you get good enough to be only doing the grows worthwhile, youre going to go back to this and facepalm. Just like how I did at my previous shit I did. I've done something very similar to you, and also got fruits. You're lucky it wasn't trich, because trich would have had that entire substrate taken over.
