Can anyone tell me whats up with these jars?
    #23696997 - 10/01/16 11:51 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)

So all the jars have a purple tint which is a little darker than I expected for healthy mycelium. Additionally, there are blotchy white sections that seem to be muchmore concentrated than the rest of the cake and makes me wonder if it is white mold of some sort. Thanks for any advice!

You have fusarium mold. Time for a toss. Do all your jars have this, or is this just one jar?

All of them have the purplish tint. I thought that may have been from the spore liquid. Only some of them have the big white blotches. Which part do you think is the mold?

The thin weaker looking white that's turning purple. The thick white masses are all cubensis mycelium. You got a syringe that is filled with fusarium contamination. You need to contact your spore provider and say exactly this:

"I looked at the spores under the scope and it's only fusarium, is there anything you guys can do about this so I can properly see cubensis under the scope?" And they should send you a new, hopefully clean batch. Sorry about that shit.

If you're willing to get into agar, you can technically cut out cubensis mycelium from any potential fusarium contaminations. Look for stro's isolating and cleaning tek for further instructions.

Damn. I'm curious, what makes you think it came from the syringe and not the environment (during or after inoculation)?

If you flame sterilized the syringe between the jars, and it's contaminating everything in the inoc zones too, it is the syringe for sure.
