Is this contamination?
    #26720109 - 06/04/20 07:49 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hey guys, I inoculated 10 jars 15 days ago. Everything looked good up until today. One of the jars has started showing this yellowish, slimy build up around the mycelium at the bottom of the jar. Is this a contam? I followed all the PF Tek sterilization guidelines -- pressure cook, red hot needle, SAB during inoculation etc. Temps have been good too, I live in LA and it's been in the upper 70s low 80s since inoculation... I'm wondering if there's too much moisture? Do I need to toss this jar? Any feedback is appreciated! :smile:

Is there any pooled water at the bottom? Could be bacterial, but I'd wait a little longer, it may simply be metabolites. Anyone else got any thoughts?

I think you have some bacteria in there, which can happen with spore syringes.

If it is bacteria sometimes they still colonize and fruit but if it starts getting gross fast its probably not good.

Pftek is a slow crapshoot with the odds in your favor. I have waited up to four months for full colonization.
While you're waiting, dick around with agar. It's where you're going anyway.

No pooled water at the bottom but I think you're all right about the bacteria. Will give it some time and see what happens. I just hope all my jars aren't contaminated :frown:

And I appreciate the advice, I will start learning agar.

Thanks for all the feedback!
