Pink mold ? After green mold ....

Hi a little background info, I inoculated 12 jars. Around 5 jars (4 days in) were showing pin size of green mold on each (tossed them out). Now 9 days in 4 jars are showing pink mold at inoculation points. I took jars out of incubator to separate from healthy jars. So my question is what kind of pink mold is this? Also any tips on burying contaminated Jara outdoors would also be appreciated.

More likely pink bacteria. Mold is generally not pink. What temperature is your incubator? You want 70-79F 80F+ is more bacteria friendly.

Fusarium species is what OP has. Also aspergillus.

The incubator is currently at 76-78. Also thanks for Id I knew something was up. But which question, could the pink bacteria be from me cleaning the incubator with soap/bleach mix after I found those green mold jars?

Hey I have a question. Roger rabbit said Fusarium is a contaminant of grains, plants and soil. The only way it would ever contaminate a mushroom crop is if someone failed to sterilze their grains first. Under normal conditions of growth, fusarium will not be seen in mushroom cultivation" but I received these Pf jars from a kit? So would this mean it was the substrate?

That's a load of shit. It can be introduced after sterilization either through the filter, or introduced by you/syringe, just like any other contamination. This is the problem with online spawn/subs, you have absolutely no idea where the contamination came from. If you did everything yourself, I could tell you where to improve.
