Why are my jars contaminated only after shaking?
    #26419961 - 01/06/20 08:13 PM (4 years, 23 days ago)

Hi guys, I just flushed my first batch of shrooms which weren’t a total failure. 2 of 4 tubs got contaminated but I still got a whole ounce dry so it could have been worse. Anyways the first batch of jars I was inoculating, I left in a clean tub with the lid on and no holes. I shook them once a week to mix them around to spread the mycelium. Now I’ve made another 9 jars. At first they were all fine until, I started shaking them up to mix them. Then they started growing large amounts of black stuff in side so I threw them. I had about 3 left. They were growing mycelium fine, until I shook these ones up and now they are starting to go black also. Should I leave them in a tub with the lid again to prevent containment’s? Why are they only starting to fuck out when I shake them to mix the grains?

Grain jars need FAE, put some holes on the lids and fill/tape them with something (cotton wool, micropore tape etc.). The mycelium suffocates in a closed jar.

Contams need time to develop, there might be no connection with shaking, or shaking might just sped them up not *caused* contamination. Since there are no holes, no contamination could get in. (Right?)

The problem with your jars is not where you are storing them. I store my colonizing jars on a shelf in a room. When grains dont recover after a shake, it means contamination is present. Whatever you inoculated that jar with was contaminated with mold. Other potential problems include improperly sterilized grains, or the filter on the jar is diffective.

Hmmmm I have no idea as I use a still air box. This is my second lot of inoculating the worst I did 8 jars not a problem. I’ll have another crack. This time I made jars from spore syringes I made not agar. See what happens

Spore syringes are considered failry dirty.  It's best to put it to agar to clean it up and then transfer it to grains.  A SAB works fine for agar work.  Check out this tek for agar dishes and prep
