Help with what is going on with my jars
    #25136577 - 04/13/18 06:51 PM (6 years, 9 months ago)

I inoculated some jars and had to go away so came back on day 11.

One of my three syringes resulted in jars with darker/black substrate in some areas, it has not grown and the mycelium seems healthy albeit slow.

One jar has darker / more blue spots on the underside of the jar, small but clearly blue (more than shown in the image), possibly just thin mycelium later & showing colour from the substrate?

Finally a strange one, some jars are 'bleeding' from inoculation holes leaving a red mark on the masking tape?

mmm dark no bueno....
Thats mushroom blood!:lmafo:

MMmmm:pipesmoke:jokes apart... im guessing is some humidity that rusted your hole in the lid...

But why did you put maskin tape on the holes?I dont think it allows any GE:rolleyes:

You wana use Micropore Tape, polyfill or tyvek for GE holes:sunny:

Cheers, suspected it could be rust.
And I read masking tape is breathable? the rest seem to be growing fine. I ordered some micropore tape and it wasn't delivered.

If there's a dry verm layer you don't need any tape. The verm is a filter. Yes it's rust. Removing the masking tape will make the holes not rust out as fast.
