How to check for contamination before spawning?

1)Does trich need oxygen to flourish? Can I get it to show up in the fully colonized jar by opening the jar to feed it fresh air and then close it/shake it again?
2) What else can I do to be more certain of contams before I waste all that time and energy spawning to bulk?
3) How can a jar that smells like mushroom or musty mushroom still turn out to have trich? I even shook a number of jars to see if they would colonized back fully or if they would show signs of contams.
I was concerned about my jars a few weeks ago, since I could still see small portions of individual WBSeed that weren't colonized. I'm used to the myc being completely grown over the seeds to where they're not really visible anymore. Now, all 12 monos have tons of trich. I've tossed them all.
I've since started back with agar & spore syringes, the safest route I know. I thought G2G was great when it worked and I had good spawn jars, but this last time I posted pics of the jars in question, but I should've only sent the pics of the fully colonized jars b/c the others that have the not fully colonized seeds just look like they're still in the process.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Some strain of trich only reveals themselves when the proper condition are met, i guess we could say that there are stealth strain of trich.
Another possibility is if only a few grain were contamned , you would not smell it, and when spawning you would be spreading trich from those grain everywhere.

I've had jars that look fine and hide two or three grains of tric in the middle. Since trich can survive lot better hidden in myc of cubes then other molds you wouldn't know. Smell can tell you yeast and bacteria infections but notwell for trich.

Dude, seriously stop making new threads and pick one of the other two you started on this before you get banned or people start ignoring you, it's not fair to the other people who need help to get their post knocked back to the 2nd page because you have 3 threads with the same question on the first page
