First time grower, is this all contamination?
    #26575803 - 04/03/20 06:29 PM (3 years, 9 months ago)

So it's dawning on me that my project hasn't gone to plan.

I'm not seeing orange, blue, green mould but still my jars don't look healthy and I took great care to keep things sterile, steam sterilized for 90 minutes, used rubber gloves throughout.

The mycelum started out nice and white and over time most of the myelium turned dark grey. My camera is awful and so was the lighting but here is what I'm dealing with. What sort of contamination is this? Do I throw out the cakes, boil the jars and try again?

What an awful day ....

Really hard to tell but it looks it its going to be cobweb mold thats growing all around the mycelium. And it looks as if it may also be bacterial? :shrug:  Hard to tell but from the bottom it looks as if the flour looks overly wet. Best to do it over and try not to shake or move the jars around too much after steam sterilizing. Your dry verm layer is the only thing keeping contaminates out.

Besides that you have to accept that there is going to be some sort of failure rate when going straight from syringe to jar as not all syringes are going to be 100% clean
