Oyster grow attempt: Is this contamination on my WBS jar?
    #26693766 - 05/24/20 09:07 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hi everyone!

I cloned an oyster mushroom on agar. When white healthy mycelium started growing on agar, I transferred a wedge to a WBS Jar - previously pasteurized. After a week, a greyish, off-white network started to grow. Its been two weeks now, it has grown quite a lot, but it doesn't look like healthy oyster mycelium. Would anyone have a clue if this is a contam?
Thanks!

Contams like cobweb mold grow very fast. This may be blue oyster I think but it is growing slow and maybe too wet. The jar may be shaken to spread mycelium and if there are contams they will be more clear too. This will get much more density and look white when colonized fully if it is blue oyster mycelium.

Mushroom smell or no smell is good but bad smelling jars must be removed very soon to stop contams spreading.

Got it. Thanks so much for the explanation and the suggestion!
I'll give it a shake and keep an eye on the development.
