Contamination? HELP!
    #26384976 - 12/16/19 11:50 AM (4 years, 1 month ago)

I am not sure what's going on here.  I'm finding to many conflicting answers and I need to get going asap because both bags are ready.  Just worried if I need to throw this whole bag out and what it is as well as what caused it.  If so I'll have to use half of the substrate I usually use I guess...what to do??

You talk about 2 bags but picture only has 1. Do you think that the other one is healthy?

This one in the picture looks to be completely FUBAR - quite possibly at least 2 types contamination in there. Those random grains that are not covered by mycelium are bacterial. Not sure about that darker patch that looks much worse - either bacterial or some kind of mold?

You won't get advice on what caused it if you haven't told what you did or what TEK you followed.

You can always try spawning and hope for the best but in your place I would throw it out completely and start again.

The other bag is healthy and I buy the 2 spawn bags from midwest as well as the substrate.  I spawn in plastic storage bins I got in my kit.  I don't worry about humidity during spawning.  I've kept temp between 75 and 77.  This is the first time I've dealt with contamination and I do it the same every time so I don't get it.

How did you inoculate the grain bag? Was it from agar/liquid culture/spore syringe? If it was the latter there is always a possibility of getting contamination from MS syringe.
