Contaminated? [Pics]
    #26779542 - 06/24/20 02:25 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hi all,

First time inoculating jars in a few years. It’s been 3 days since I inoc’d these jars and this is what I saw today, contaminated ?

They are BRF/Verm standard pf tek with a 90 minute steam in a pot because I don’t have a PC.



This jar was next to my other three jars that I inoculated, and this is the only one showing any growth, I separated them for now but not sure if I should toss that jar ?

BRF/Verm standard pf tek recipe. I accidentally used too many cc’s of the spores though using probably more like 2cc per jar instead of 1

Spore syringe from the internet, I’m assuming? Always a crapshoot.

Doesn’t look like mycelium growing in there, no fine hairs.

Who knows. Could have come from the syringe, your hands, the medium, the jar. Not much you can do but wait and watch...

Or start over by putting some of that liquid culture to agar.

Definitely going to wait and watch and see what happens. Hope my dry verm layer holds up.

I don't have a lot of experience, so don't let mine be the primary voice that influences you on this, but I will say that I had a jar that looked exactly like this (from what I can tell of the photo; mycelial threads aren't obvious in your pic, though), and it turned out ok.  Just finished its first flush this weekend, actually. The black spot ended up being a mass of spores against the glass becuase I got a little too zealous with the syringe plunger.

This is exactly what I think happened, will keep an eye on them for sure to see what’s going on over the next couple of days and will update this thread with pictures.

Thanks for sharing your experience

Updated pics. I think this is healthy mycelium and that black spot is a spore from the syringe. Any confirmation? It seems to be more colonized today and more threadlike:

I also had something similar using a sporeworks syringe. Its just a mass of spores and you should be ok. Mine colonized just fine

Word that reassures me a little bit. Only one out of four jars is showing any signs of growth yet but I’m hopeful it’s only been 4 days since inoculation date
