Is this a contam? I've received mixed responses
    #26787619 - 06/27/20 02:51 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

This grow is via pf tek and I have two shrooms that have grown early in the jar. Over the past few days they've had this fuzzy white growth around the stems. I'm not sure if this is contam or if it's normal, and I'm waiting to birth them until I know for sure. I understand that white fuzz around the bases of stems is normal while growing in a fruiting chamber, but I'm not sure about while in jars.

I've had a few responses towards this after asking in a discord server. They've been mixed almost 50-50, but leaning towards it's contaminated. One trusted cultivator said it was fine, another said it looks bad and that I should probably throw it out. So I figured I'd come here and try to figure out whether or not I should hold onto this jar or toss it for sure. Thanks for the help in advance!

Classic cubensis contamination.

The fuzz is fine, but a jar fruiting that hard in vitro could be a sign of contamination. Or that you waited too long to birth it.

They're about 9 days since full colonization. So yeah just waited too long, I wanted to be 100% sure that was not contamination before birthing

While I read through the PF-tek, there was a guy named Hippy or so, and he went into the Pf history with his laziness. The photos from him looked exactly so, this was his way to go. Pf technique put in half or so.

His name was Hippie3 and his tek was called the mycro invitro negelect tek. He was a big factor in the early days of the online mushroom community and is dearly missed. RIP.
