will this contamination spread?
    #26538219 - 03/16/20 09:27 AM (3 years, 10 months ago)

Hi everyone,

I have this issue with my latest growing attempt. A week ago this green contamination showed up before any pins came through, I have been keeping an eye on it and it has not grown or spread out. The first time I saw it it was the same size and has not grown or shrunk. The mushrooms are growing nicely and apart from more fae they seem fine and are not showing any sign of contamination.
Can anyone explain to me what is going on? I Always thought contamination would spread out very fast all over the tub and infect everything else around it.





I very much appreciate your help and wisdom.

Yeah that's green trich, a mycologists old nemeses. If it shows up

before pins start it most likely came from your jars. The mycelium is tuff

and is fighting to contain it. After you pick off your first flush it will

probably start to spread. Then you kinda wanna get rid of it as it's

not the greatest thing to have throwing spores around your place.

And don't pick any fruits that are near it or growing in it as they

could be contaminated also. Like a bad vegetable you don't wanna eat

the rotten ones 😉

I spoon out contamination like that and pour salt on the area.  It stalls it for a few days so I can get what mushrooms I can from it.

I saw somebody salt it and then put a piece of wet paper towel over it to catch any spores that might release.

I did just successfully cut two contams out also.

One was an underbed tub and one side had trich and pin so I cut out 1/3 of the sub and now the rest has been fine for a week.

The other I could just see a couple hairs of pin or some other similar mold forming on an abort and cut out like four square inches and no sign of it now. I think it had started on the abort and I got lucky and caught it before it hit coir.

Salt pulls moisture out of the substrate/mycelium/trich. Before the days of refrigerators this is how the world preserved meat.
