Hello guys. Im fairly new to mushroom cultivating and i wanted a more experienced growers opinion about my grain jar. I inoculated this jar last saturday. To me this kinda looks like bacterial contamination?
Thanks in advance

Yeah. I thought so. I'll take a couple of picures from the side when i get home. This jar grew exponentially faster than the other two and also had more condesation than them.

Your pictures are clear enough to rule out any possibility of them being OK

Probably a multitude of things. Looks like it could be bacteria and some kind of mold(s)

With liquid culture. Should also propably say that this is reishi. Not that it matters since its contaminated.

MS to LC?
If so u probably took the almost guaranteed minute amounts of contaminates in that syrings and breed them to substantial levels in the LC...
I did ms lc once and every single jar had bacterial metabolites in it...

It's pure reishi liquid culture that i bought. this jar was the only one i was not sure about, well i was pretty sure but didn't want to believe. the other ones seem good to me.

It's better to ask your question in the Gourmet and Medicinal mushroom forum, because here people will assume you're growing actives. But there is some green stuff in your jars which looks like mold contamination, sorry man.
