Black contaminate. Help identify please
    #25596034 - 11/06/18 12:19 PM (6 years, 2 months ago)

Standard PF tek. Inoculated 24 jars 1 week ago using 3 10ml pore syringes.

Today I have mycelium growth on 22 of 24 jars. I also have this unwelcome guest showing in 2 jars.

Can anyone identify this contaminate?

Yup the contaminate is trash, the jar is trash. Why do you want to know what it is?

Also I personally put black mold straight to the trash without opening it. You don't want to breath in black mold. Some people take the risk though.

Haven't seen many threads about black mold in my research and I know certain types are dangerous.

Wondering if I may have a bigger problem with black mold in my house, or if this is pretty common occurrence?

If it's one out of 24 jars then it's a fluke. There are tons of spores in the air. You really just got unlucky with those jars. If you were using a glovebox and possibly even if you went spores to jar then there are tons of vectors for contamination.

If you get 22 out of 24 jars on your first shot of be good with that. I seriously would just throw them out if the black is obviously mold (fuzzy).

I used this half assed version of a glovebox :smile:. I did take care to wipe everything with the alcohol before hand.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Puff4200. I've learned a lot from this community and I appreciate all the information on here.

Yeah definitely do not open that jar in your house or you risk spreading mold spores everywhere.

If you really needed to you could save the jar but you should dispose of the contents outside and have a bleach solution ready to clean before you step back in the house.

I've thrown jars and I've cleaned them. Just depends on the situation.

Puffs right though. Just one unlucky jar happened to get that random spore floating in the air. Keep an eye on your others though!:cool:
