WTF is this?
    #26587643 - 04/08/20 11:17 PM (3 years, 9 months ago)

Hi guys. I've let some fully colonized wheat jars at the fridge around last week and when I went to check them today they had these little black dots with some spiderman action going on there. Is this normal/healthy? (Note that the jars are cold in the picture, fridge temperature)
Jar 1:


Jar 2:


I ask and wonder if it could be bacteria, because at the moment I'm running a spawn of coir full of it (the mycelium is growing as fuzzy-foamy balls). At first I thought it was my sterile technique, later that it could be a bad coir pasteurization, but now I'm starting  to think my buddy gave me a bad syringe from the start. What do you think?

Btw this is the bacterial spawn. It doesn't have the 'earthy' smell, instead it smells kinda strong (I can't describe exactly the odor) and leaves me dizzy for a couple hours. So obviously it is something going on there.

why did you put cling wrap on to the jar's lid ?

the grain need air so remove it

your grain look bacterial to me. it happened all th time when you use syringes the best thing to do in my ophion is re-star again but this time it'll be better to test that needle on to agar

Those jars are fine even if they do have a little bacteria they'll fruit
fine. And that spawned tub looks great too. Everything here looks good
just keep up the good work. And yeah try to make a clone on agar once that
tub fruits so you can get away from using syringes. Good job!

Oh and put that spawn with coir into fruiting conditions it needs
FAE

I'll get the wrap off! I thought it would be a good idea.
Thank you both guys!

The phrase “leaves me dizzy for a couple hours” is a bit concerning lol. I’ve had some bacterial subs, they usually have a sickly sweet kind of smell but I don’t remember any dizziness.

I’m not clear on what you were saying about a fridge. Did you store your jars in there? Just read back - why were they in the fridge? Just curious.

They do look okay from what I can see in the pictures, minus the wrap mentioned.

The jars look fine, sub looks alright too. The dots could be from the mycelium getting a bit too cold and bruising, if you look closely it should be blue-ish. I'd spawn them still. The ropeyness in them is rhizomorphic growth, that's good stuff.

Keep 'em high and tight guys....

Yeah I've put it in the fridge because it was already colonized and couldn't spawn it any soon (we are quarantined here in Argentina), so I threw them at the fridge until I get more coir, which could be in maybe 2 or 3 weeks from now if we are lucky.
And the other thing I've said about the fridge that maybe I misspoke was that I took the picture of the jar right after getting it out of the fridge. I thought it would be helpful to clarify that because maybe the cold temprature had some corelation with these blue colored dots, (as Justweed said now).
And yeah, it might be concerning what I said about the dizziness. Maybe I'm sensitive to these smells, I don't know, but anyways I'm going to be careful with this spawn, I'm not going to peak frequently as I did at the beginning.. if it doesn't give any fruit by this or next week I'll just throw it on soil and get it outside with minimal hopes to get something, at least one shroom lol.
