I have colonized some rye jars with oyster mycelium with agar.

I'm not really sure about one jar.

Do you think its contaminated?

Pictrue 1 - Three days after inoculation with an agar wedge. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get the agar wedge sticking to the glas so I was forced to "roll" the jar a bit so that the agar wedge was covered with rye berries. This white stuff on the top could therefore be mycelium which got there because I had to "roll" the jar a bit, so the berries there were inoculated with mycelium. But it also could be cobweb.




Picture 2 - After Picture one I shook the jar. Picture 2 is 3 days after this shaking.




Picture 3 - After the picture I shook it directly.





What do you think guys? Doesn't look good, hm? (don't forget it's oyster mycelium, not Cubensis) :smile:



Regards

Top man, well done. Looks perfectly clean and healthy so far. Keep your eyes peeled  :thumbup:

Hey mate,

thank you very much :smile:

I wasn't really sure, thought it could be mold or some bacteria. I still have to learn to see the difference between cubensis myc and oyster myc, if it were cubensis, I'd toss it directly :laugh:

Pretty normal for a fiber (cellulose, lignin and so on) lover, on naked grain (mostly starch).

Ah okay, just wondered because of this much of condensation which never occured on any other oyster jar before (same Rye). Thought it could be bacterial or somethin :smile:

It's clear, so its just the mycelium producing heat, and the water cools on the glass.
If it where yellow or any other colour, or even slime, you have issues.

Here a picture of my oyster grow in "bags" with straw pellets.

It's going really well, I think next week I can start fruiting them by cutting some cuts into the bags.

One of the best beginners I have seen this year. I am impressed.
How are you going fruiting those straw bags?

Thank you very much, I really like that hobby and because of that I try to do my best for good results :smile:


I wait until the mycelium forms the first bigger nodes and than I put these bags in a slightly cooler room. Then I'm going to cut some slots at the points of these nodes, so that the fresh air exchange forces the mycelium to build some fruits there :smile:

I hope I can start doing this next week so in about two weeks I'll eat my first oyster pasta :laugh:


Regards from Germany!

If you haven't already you should put some holes in the bags. They need air or they can go anaerobic. You can use a arrow head or knife to put holes in it.
