I put 3-4 ml of h202 in my apparently contaminated TV jars and within a couple of hours the millet flour I have in it and the rest of the growth(whatever it is) has begun to float to the top. Hmmm

Hi, I also attended one of Peter's classes (in Oakland) and have since started jars of LC and millet grain spawn using the syringes he provided. About a week after seeing rapid growth in my GL LC and grain spawn jars blue-greens dot appeared on the sides of the jar and on some of the grains. None of my other 4 species (LE, HE, SRA, PS) showed signs of this type of growth. All jars were inoculated at the same time and under the same conditions - in the open air, on a clean table. So far I have not tried to treat the potential contamination.
How you had any luck treating the blue growth since your last post?
I haven't tried growing on agar yet, that will be my next move in the coming week. Have you had any success growing on agar and separating out the contamination?
I'm in NYC, if you're nearby maybe we could collaborate

I'm in Alabama. Otherwise I'd love to meet up. I had a guy that attended the seminar in Nashville with me send me some of his GL from Peter. He used the honey LC. He also said that he keeps it in the fridge. Mine was maybe a week old and it started forming mycelium on top. We just had a baby so I haven't been agitated it in several days. I put it in the fridge to try to slow it down when we got home from the hospital.
Concerning my old contaminated jars, I dumped my contaminated jars of TV and GL on some wood chips in the ground outside just to see if it fruits one of these days.
I have already inoculated some grains with the new GL and It seems to be growing well. I'll know More when I get back home later this week.

"We just had a baby so I haven't been agitated "
Couldn't help it, that's funny. Congrats!

Floating at the top is not indicative of a contamination, some species will even form mycelial mats on the surface of LC and Ganoderma can even fruit from this.

I remember Roger Rabbit going on about how you can never fruit from LC, I am sure he was talking about psilocybin mushrooms and I had all these schemes to get something to fruit from LC in my mind but never got around to it. In the end it was just a forgotten jar sitting on a shelf for many months, when I found it again it looked like that. I also had something similar happen with lions mane but I can't seem to find any pictures of it.
