Pink discoloration on mycelium!
    #25655406 - 12/03/18 07:00 PM (6 years, 1 month ago)

Does anyone know what this pink discoloration is? I tried looking around but couldn’t find a definite answer cause all the pictures that people have previously posted of something similar are gone. Anyway, is it mold?

Ive had pink mold like that on my cakes.
I don't know exactly what its called.
But looks quite similar to what you have there.

If so it will spread like crazy if you let it develop.

Id toss it into a outdoor bin but wait for a for experienced member to chime in.

Neurospora or Lipstick mold are the usual suspects for anything pink\purple..both are bad news

Fusarium is very common as well, and it's one of the most dangerous molds around, due to its insanely high mycotoxin count. There was a guy on here who got pneumonia and hospitalised because he had fusarium growing and didn't get rid of it. So straight up, ALWAYS toss pink molds. They should be tossed with more priority than any other mold IMO.

Oh damn! It’s getting thrown out right after I’m done typing this. It just spread to one of my other trays. Thanks for help guys! Any recommendations on what to do to my grow area? Sterilize with bleach?

Wash anything fabric based and clean hard surfaces with a disinfectant like bleach, and make sure the tub gets a washed with piping hot water and bleach..I put mine in the bath, spray it down with bleach and leave it for twenty then use the shower to hose it down
