possible contamination ? ...expert eye needed...
    #26830209 - 07/18/20 05:41 AM (3 years, 6 months ago)

hi guys, 1st post, need some help...

i've been growing successfully for several years, but i suspect i have an issue with my current grow.
I started 2 boxes from liquid culture as usual, 1 of B+ and 1 of Golden Teacher ; the B+ colonised smoothly & was transferred to the fruiting chamber a couple of days ago, but the GT colonised apx 70% and appeared to stop. 

it has gone from white to translucent grey on some of the edges, and i am also dubious about some wet/yellowish spots that look to be more than the usual moisture i have encountered previously with this method.

i've tried to get the clearest pix possible, and would appreciate some advice as to whether this box is ok or should be abandoned... (my prep & clean techniques are pretty meticulous, and i've never had a contamination issue before...)  the box was inoculated from a liquid culture 27/5 and kept in a temp. controlled environment at a constant 26*C.

many thanks...

That one is a loss sorry. Contaminated and beyond repair.

Is that a kit?

Definitely contaminated like nichrome said. I'd like to see the b+ one too just to
see if it's actually good or not.
