First grow First possible contam
    #23833086 - 11/14/16 05:41 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Dummy here, sorry in advance if I try your patience.

I am following the brf tek instructions from 'Let's Grow Mushrooms!' and it's been pretty gravy so far. This jar in particular is colonizing the fastest.



Unfortunately, I woke up today to find a discoloured spot on the opposite side of the jar.



Here is a closer look. Best I can get with my phone.




Just eyeballing it says to me that it's penicillium. It appears to have a fuzzy texture, but it's pulled away from the side of the jar and partially obscured by moisture.

So is this the deathknell for this jar? Can I do something to save it or should I just toss it? Or am I just freaking out over nothing?

looks green to me, toss it, try not to open it inside.

Yes, that is mold.  It'll soon be all over the jar consuming the mycelium, so don't bother keeping the jar.  Just toss the contents and wash the jar (I wash them with bleach)
