The bottom of the bag is seeming to do good with white mycelium but on the top there’s a little chunk that looks blackish is this a contam? If so should I go ahead and try to separate what isn’t contaminated before it’s all contaminated? ??

I’d say it’s toast. If you want to for the hell of it, cut the top of the bag off, try to get that ball out and seal the bag back up with a heat sealer (like a foodsaver). In a SAB. But it’s more than likely toast. Thinking about it, not a good idea as it could contaminate the work space. Should just toss it and start over

Yeah it's toast. Looks like spots of mold on the bottom too, and is bacterial. No point trying to save it.

Usually bacteria is a indicator that you made your grains to wet. Dryer is always better when it comes to grain prep. Better luck next time..

If you're injecting spore solution into pre-made/purchased grain bags (I'm taking two guesses so my apologies if I am incorrect), you're already taking a double risk. The syringe is full of potential contaminates, and ften those bags are prepared poorly. Hopefully you have more spore solution left. Just a few drops on some agar dishes/pre=pours would get you started just fine. Then learn to prep your own grain. Maybe start with brf cakes if you don't have a pressure cooker and spawn to bulk. That sucks for you bud. Always a bummer... That said: try again. Adhering to the above advice and reading through this will get you squared away: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/26011749

Idk how big the bag was, but it might help to knock up a pint jar next time and then if that’s healthy dump it into the big bag. G2g works great.

Ok I’ve never tried that but I might order some filter bags and try it to spawn to bulk easier.

BRF jars will give you the same results if your using the same syringe. Only way to clean it up is on agar.
