What is this? Black dots in grain jars
    #25591620 - 11/04/18 01:02 PM (6 years, 2 months ago)

Hi there,

first post here, unfortunatelly in the contam forum. Read a lot in this forum the last weeks. I'm a beginner with all this and now doing some rye grain jars. Had build a SAB, used lots of alcohol (for sterilization issues, haha :laugh:), flame-sterilized the needles after each jar on inoculation, PCed the water I used for creating the syringes from two spore prints with B+ and Cambodian, PCed the jars and so on, wearing a bacteria-mask and gloves and so on, just everything I found here and there.

So, 2 days ago my jars were about 40% colonized, everything looked good and I shaked them. Now, they started to colonize again and I see some black dots in many jars. Mostly, thea are in the middle of such a "mycelium cluster" where many fibers come out. (Sorry about the wording, im a noob :laugh:)

Just look at those pics, any idea if this is a contam?

Could that be just some dirt coming out of exploded grains that came out during the shake? Before, I did not see any like these...


Thx for your help!

I think you're fine..the mycelium looks healthy and the grains aren't too wet or creamy looking..plus they have recovered well from the shake, so at the moment all looks good:thumbup:

Hey, thx for your answers. Maybe what I see is just the grains touching the glass. I may have become paranoid by all that waiting and cheking them twice a day...
