Am i celebrating mold?
    #26338098 - 11/22/19 12:42 PM (4 years, 2 months ago)

Knocked them up 6 days ago in a SAB after steam sterilizing for two hours and cooled to room temp.
3/6 jars are Creeper, the other Redspore. The ones that have the most growth in them are the Creeper jars.
Followed Zirans PF Tek, inoculated through Center hole. The most colonized jar has the strongest myc in the center near the bottom, and is starting to grow up from the bottom. All growth in all jars is starting at the center and loving outward and upward.

All my research is pointing to this being young tomatose myc, and that i shouldn’t be to worried. I was concerned about how fast it looked like it had already germinated and started colonizing  and then i realized i distributed 1 syringe into three jars, plus the syringes are from a trusted vendor so I’m not insanely worried about contam from the syringe, just worried about me having been sloppy. Plus the jars were kept 79-80F.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks! I’m starting growing again after a ten year hiatus, this will be my third time ever so I’m still pretty noobish. It’s good to have someone else’s reassurance. Thanks for taking the time to view and respond, it really helps put me at ease.

So my first question is why do your jars seem black

I wouldn't worry now, I'm hopeful that its mushroom mycelium. Come back in a week or so when there is more growth

Its the lighting (light is in the foreground with a dark room behind me) and all the white paint in the closet throwing off the white balance. I used Zirans Tek: (4:2:2 fine Verm/BRF/water) with some added gypsum (5 tbsp) and this is what they looked like before i even sterilized them.



All the pics I’ve seen online and on this forum say that this looks normal, and then with two people in this post saying the same then I’m sure I’m okay. I will definitely update this post (i hated seeing so many posts like mine that were abandoned by OP)

Well, if it was a contaminant like i thought it was, it’s definitely not acting like one. Seeing signs of rhizomorphic myc starting to grow from the edges of the tomentose myc. Plus the growth is normal for cubes, if it was a contam i feel like the jars would have been taken over by now. The growth in the jars of Creeper looks the same as the jars of Redspore, just growing faster (which could be accounted for by the age of my syringes). Contaminated jars in the same conditions grow at the same rate (usually) so I’m confident that this is the right stuff!

You're right. Contams would be growing much faster.

Definitely not mold. Just insanely healthy, fast growing cube mycelium.

Well it’s been a week, and you guys were definitely right.

I really need to learn how to stop worrying.

Nice rhizos on those jars. They should be super healthy when you birth them. Patience is key!

Thanks! Only two of my jars are showing predominantly Rhizo growth. The first jar to colonize has been mainly tomentose myc, but with lots of short Rhizo sections.

I’see a section in one of my faster colonizing jars that, from a distance, doesn’t appear to be colonizing (getting up close with a flashlight shows hyphal threads filling up the gap, my BRF was loosely packed with lots of nooks and crannies), and i fell down a rabbit hole on bacterial contamination and have been freaking myself out with reading about contams, but it’s been exactly two weeks and none are showing any slime, cobweb, Trich, or anything but fluffy or Rhizo Myc. I did inoculate in the center of the jars so i think it’s gonna look differently than jars knocked up between the glass and the cake.

I think i can take a deep breath and relax lol.
