which grows faster, mycelium or contams???
    #26549242 - 03/21/20 04:26 PM (3 years, 10 months ago)

My jars of popcorn, oats, and flax (a friend had great success with this combo, so i decided to give it a try) are finally showing some growth, but only around the oats--it is pretty limited at this stage.  I'm worried it might be contams, so i'm keeping an eye on things--which got me wondering, which will grow faster in the jars: mycelium or contams?  I've never had jars go bad before, but have lost numerous tubs along the way to contams.  In those cases, the contams grew much faster than the mycelium.  I would assume it is the same in the jars.  Is this a reasonable assumption?  I've been off grid for the past year, so I'm just now getting back into cultivation and feel like i'm back to total beginner stage (wasn't much past that before).  Any help is appreciated...thanks.

There are a lot of different contaminants. Some grow fast and some don't. :shrug:

the growth i have (again, limited to the oats) is definitely white, but not developed enough that i can determine contam or mycelium.  oh well, time will tell.  thanks!!!

It also depends on the temperature. I think that most contams will thrive in warmer temperatures. Thus cooler temperatures, while they slow down mycelial growth, will lessen the risk of contams.

i've got them in the 65-67 degree range in a dark closet. after checking them last night, I'm a little more optimistic that it is mycelium

"Contams"  can be mycelium too.
