hi, im new here.
i want to know if my substrate in my bag is contaminated or not. i am very newbie to this topic. in fact, i knew the term "bruising" when I came to this forum..
so if this is only bruising, what should i do next? because it has not grown much lately.. also it has a bit of bad smell.
i also saw that in my bag there is a lot of water inside too.

thank you in advance

Those green specks in there arent good. Probably trich.
Healthy mycelium should only smell like mushrooms. Any smell other than that is a very bad sign.
Bruising is light and occasionally dark blue. Those spots look green.

thank you for your answer.
do u know what caused this? so doesn't happen this to me again in other time. i have this bag inside a box at 78-79 °F
also the smell is like (obviously) rice, but more intense.

Healthy mycelium smells strongly of mushrooms. Cant say Ive ever cracked open a colonized container that didnt. If theres that much mycelium and you dont smell mushroom smell, somethings fucky.
What causes trich? Trichs everywhere. It was most likely your inoculation. A clean spore syringe is unlikely so most people use agar to to inoculate grains.
Couldve bypassed your filter. Could've snuck in when you inoculated.
Review your technique, improve, and try again.
