I may have contaminated the monotub
    #26606726 - 04/16/20 09:01 PM (4 years, 8 months ago)

I made a monotub using prestrerilized horse manure and ground up brf cakes (b+) and I started fanning and misting when I saw full colonization, and I didn't notice a good pool of water was collecting at the bottom of the bin it's been sitting there for maybe 3 days and I smelled it today and it smelled different, kinda smelled weird. I noticed some faint blueish spots on the mycelium and I hope they aren't signs of mold growing. Anyways I drained the water and misted it and now it's sitting. Am I screwed?

Edit: I also noticed that the mycelium didnt colonize a small section of manure (size of your hand) at the bottom. maybe from being oversaturated?

Edit 2: Pictures added

Edit:3 check picture 4 top left, that's the spot I'm confused about. Maybe he hard to see.

The uncolonized part isn’t a great sign.. is there spawn in that section or did you just not mix it well?  Also, was the surface dry when you started seeing the bluing?  Bruising is usually from dryness, but it can also happen when contamination is present.  There’s a good chance that it’s pretty bacterial given the water pooling and the poo was sterilized.  You usually want pop to be pasteurized, not sterilized. 

I’d say it’s still too early to get worried enough to do anything but let it do it’s thing and keep an eye on it.  Even if it’s bacterial, you can still get a decent flush out of it.  Leave it alone and don’t mist it anymore.

How old is it from spawning?  Using a liner would eliminate your water pooling problem

So I did end up getting a nice flush but some of the shrooms look a little weird. Anyone have a clue what these weird bumps / growths are on top of the caps?

Just a mutation that happens.. might be caused by some bacteria, but they’re fine to eat.
