That looks like cobweb mold. It is still salvagable. You have to treat it with a hydrogen peroxide solution. I would find you a link, but I'm at work and dont have the time. Good luck!

I'd personally toss it.  I've never had any luck trying to salvage anything with H2O2 -  that energy is better spent making new, very clean, spawn.

Could also try to cut out some of the paler rhizomorphic growth and transfer it to some agar. The mold will probably follow it but maybe not.

In my experience, the best way to get good fruits from what you have in the pics would be to put it outside if you've got a place to do that and the weather permits.  If that's not doable, try whatever method you'd like to get rid of some of your contams.  If you do try to neutralize them in some way, it would be really cool if you documented the process whether it's successful or not.

If you are going to try to rescue your project let us know what you do and how it turned out.

I had a similar issue. I gently cleaned with H2O2 and put a 1cm casing of prepared choir/vermiculite. It did just fine.

good luck

Ok so I went to tub and did my best to spray the web looking stuff with hydrogen peroxide.  In that I I have no idea what I’m doing so I got a little puddled up at the bottom, anyways I tried to drain and about lost everything the cake is now broken up into about 5 peices I sprayed my hands with hydro and used a piece of the poly fill to get everything back in place the best I can but the hydrogen peroxide absolutely got rid of the growth along with throwing the poor cake lol, if it survives I’ll let you know. Does anyone know if I can just fruit from my jar I have 2 more quarts left and one in a smaller 14 inch tub no cob web growth like this tub. I just hate to lose about 30 dollars worth of sub but if it happens it happens no noticeable smells other then sweet mushroom smell.  So hopefully throwing it and hydrogen peroxide don’t kill it. But it’s now in full light and ima do a better job of air exchange cause humidity is high

I'd bury it a little just so it doesn't look totally out of place.  Rainy is probably great if it'll let up within a few days.

Got 3 acres no neighbors within seeing distance expecially if I put it in the old cow pasture I’ll use that as a last resort.  I shouldn’t of worked on the tub while stoned lol, I used h2o2 and got rid of a lot of that growth. No smells and it looked sorta like mycelium but I sprayed just in case and had a little puddle up on top of casing, my dumbass tries to turn it over and drained it luckily I drained it off mycelium but the cake broke and about fell out. But I saved it so provided I didn’t kill it with all that. Do you know if I can just fruit out of jar and into a tub? this substrates a little difficult to do and I just wanna get a harvest this is my second attempt at this and my jars are ready

You can definitely fruit right out of the jar, but it's kind of a waste of good spawn, in my opinion.  Have you thought about just trying coir?  And damn, if I had 3 acres with cows, I'd be taking advantage of that as much as possible :wink:

Thanks, I’m trying a 14 quart tub I made straight out of the jar but I think it’s a little dry to fruit so I may mist it, I have a bunch of actual coconut fibers I need to mix with coffee grounds but I have no way to sanitize it so I may look for a block next time I’m at lowes. This was a pre packaged sub I bought that had great reviews. So most likely somewhere I messed up, I don’t need much I can honestly do this year round if need be but I’m a novice so if I can pull any caps I’ll be happy with it. I wanna try microdosing which is why I’m doing this, but if it doesn’t work out this go around it’s not meant to be like I said I got 2 quarts sitting right now so idk if it’s best to get some more sub and try it in smaller batches until I get the hang of it. That being said I just bought a car so I’m not looking to sink really anymore then I’ve got in it already. Which is about 200 or so with tubs, jars, spores alchohol so really with this being my second try I’d like to pull one cap for me to put anymore money in it. Even if that means I gotta re inoculate and start over.  I’m looking for smells right now when I open it and the cakes are in big clumps now so it’s fully colonized I can see. Hopefully I push fruit forward in the next week or so. So I just need to look for a place no one can see dig a whole and make sure it’s not mowed if all goes south?

If you've got enough coconut fibers, it may be worth trying to hydrate them with some boiling water (skip the coffee, that can apparently invite contams), and using just that hydrated fiber as your substrate. 

If you do toss it outside, yes, just find yourself a little secluded spot and toss it out.  Nature often knows better how to grow stuff than any of us do.

Oh you are right there buddy! Yeah I got a pretty Big bag of it so id say 5 or 6 lbs full of coconut fibers I may put them in a bag and get them smashed down and compacted and boil them.  Do you just sit it till cool and pack my tub about 2 inches deep like I did with the bought stuff? Cause if so I may abort now And place them outside so I can get my box back or try one of these smaller quarts cause it’s legit Florida coconut fibers and I’d love to feel I went super natural And actually pull something cause I got a quart just sitting there on it’s own waiting to fully colonized in a chamber and fruit too so I’m not at a total loss just yet

I would do exactly this:

https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24077162#24077162

Basically take the weight of your dry coco husk and multiply that by 5 and that's the amount of water you want to bring to a boil then dump in with your husk.  If yours isn't compressed, you may have some different results, but ultimately you're trying to do 2 things: hydrate the coir to field capacity and sterilize it to some degree with the boiling water.  That tek really lays it out better than I could hope to, so I'd defer to that.

It never hurts to keep things small to start.  Maybe try a couple individual shoeboxes in case one contams.
