Does this Reishi Grain Spawn look contaminated?
    #26674746 - 05/16/20 12:13 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

What do you think? Good or bad?

This is a G2G jar after one week. I did 4 of those G2G jars and already shook the first one, when I recognised some strange spots on the 3 others. These pictures show the jar where these strange growth is most obvious.
PS: theres some vermiclulite mixed into in the spawn.

It helps to edit the image and circle whatever little spots you're talking about, I'm not sure what areas you're referring to but I don't see anything to be concerned about. 

With reishi you just want to make sure and spawn it soon after it's fully colonized, or it will start digesting the grain and be really hard to break apart.

Thanks a lot for your reply, Forrester - your opinion really means a lot to me! If you don't see any causes for concerns I guess, i will be fine! :smile: I've learned a lot about Reishi from your posts here, so this is a good chance to personally thank your for all your shared knowledge!

Nervertheless here I highligthed the growth I was concerned about:



As opposed to the wispy, but somehow slightly rhizomorphic growth, the circled area contains a more cloudy, thicker and edgy growth with a slight yellowish tint.

Would you consider this is normal for reishi mycelium?

Ah, ok I thought it might be that you were thinking of.  I am 99% sure that's totally fine.  It's been a few years since I've grown any, but I remember that being normal for reishi.  Glad to help! :smile:
