Possible Contam?-Help!
    #23756207 - 10/20/16 09:19 PM (7 years, 3 months ago)

So this is the only jar, out of 12, that I inoculated a bit over 3 weeks ago that looks like it might be contaminated. Where the mycelium looks the thickest, it has a faint yellow line of discoloration. I've heard that the myc produces digestive enzymes that look just like this when it sits in the jars during consolidation so Im kind of confused here. It was fine 2 days ago when I checked the jars last so its fairly recent, and I thought the cakes were very hard to contaminate once fully colonized? This was the fastest grower out of the batch and it would be a shame to dump it, but I want to be safe, and I want to learn! so tell me whats up my elders!

You can't contaminate a glass jar why are you wearing gloves?

It will probably be fine

I got a big box of free gloves from work and I was paranoid, being a first time grower and reading too much on here will drive you OCD insane haha. Just tryin to be safe! So the jar looks okay, ready to dunk n' roll?

I just covered it in verm and put it in my SGFC with the others, will it spread to the other cakes if its infected possibly?

I'm saying every breath of air you take has thousands of contaminants in it. Hence the purpose of the jar to keep them out while the cake colonizes. After its colonized you can spit on the cake if you want

Alright I see what you're saying, however I trashed the cake earlier out of paranoia because so many people were giving mixed answers, and the myc that looked infected felt very slimy and offputting so i didnt want to keep that in my home for too long. This is my first grow so im just trying to play it as safe as possible, im only halfway through this first grow and ive already learned so much from each step its insane! The second grow is going to be a whole other ballgame :smile:

You can always bury a contaminated cake in your yard, they sometimes push out a few babes.

I actually might do that, the thought did cross my mind earlier, would the fruits be safe to eat if it did grow out there?

yea as long as nothing is growing all over the fruits then they are safe. Mushroom tissue itself can't really be colonized by a different organism. In the wild they grow out of cow dung and are far from sterile, but you can eat those with no issues.
