Contam or water damage?
    #23965999 - 12/29/16 04:19 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

I popped the lid on a jar to birth it and was met with a wet spot from where condensation had dropped a droplet from the lid onto the dry verm layer and after dabbing it off with a paper towel I'm left with this,




Please tell me this is just water damage, I'd hate to lose 1 out of 5 of my cakes but if it's contam I'd rather not have it near my other babies. It's just this one spot as well, you can kinda make out in the picture the little pond this droplet has made right in the center, surrounding it is very healthy mycelium I'd say so I don't think it's contam but I'm a first timer so what do I know :p other then that this jar is 100% colonized and has receded from the walls of the jar and all, it's definitely ready for birthing but I'm just afraid of this spot.

Edit: I should add no smell aside from mushroom, I heard bacteria normally smells like anus? Haha

This picture is of the top layer of verm it's 100% colonized actually 4 days into 100%, this is mycelium that has came through my dry verm layer. But when I popped the top there was water pooling in that dis colored part, I got the water up with a paper tower but the dis coloration is there, debating on seeing what it will look like after I wash that dry verm layer off in the dunk n roll.

you will wash away the dry verm anyways...I just fruited 5 cakes that were very bacterial from the first week...rotten apple smells..huge wet spots in some..usually people will tell u to ditch and start over...however all of them are fruiting...I have one cake that looks like a donut because it was so bacterial it wouldnt colonize the center.however the part that did colonize is fine and all are fruiting..you are fine.  when you seen green...always toss..when they are bacterial..wait and see what happens is my advice. your trash can and toilet are more harmful.
