Contamination or Something Else?
    #25621568 - 11/17/18 05:39 PM (6 years, 1 month ago)

Hey, fellow astral-walkers! This is my first time posting, and I wanted to see if I could get some input from the community on some discoloration I've noticed in my latest batch of cakes. I've been getting some grey/grey'ish blue and black growth in some of my jars (very few are growing the fluffy looking white mycelium I'm used to seeing). The reason I'm so uncertain on what to make of the discoloration is (a) I'm still pretty new at this, and (b) the jars and substrate I used this time around I bought from a website that was supposed to ship them to me pre-sterilized and ready for inoculation, and (c) the spore syringes I bought this time are supposed to be "Supercharged" (4× the normal concentration of spores per syringe) and I'm not sure if inoculating cakes with highly-concentrated spores might somehow affect the color? My last two grows both turned out pretty well with about a 90% success rate even when I was sterilizing the jars myself, so I'd be kind of surprised if these "professionally sterilized" jars were faring so much worse. But maybe I'm just that naive haha.

Anyway, here are some pictures. What do you guys and gals think? Should I pitch these lil guys?







Note: each picture is a different jar. There are about 18 jars in all and all of them have grey and/or black growth– only about two have patches of white.

That first jar look done in the picture..see that creamy texture..Jars 2 and 3 might be good, but early days..I'd guess the black at the top is verm? Is the verm layer at the top 1" deep or more?
