Odd mycelium color
    #26912418 - 09/01/20 05:19 PM (3 years, 4 months ago)

So my previous batch of Golden teacher was a success. I cloned them and now have decided to try out b plus.

I got the multi spore syringe in and inoculated my jars.
The mycelium came in fast this time but had a weird color. It’s not near as white as the golden teacher mycelium. Is this normal?

Trichoderma. Toss it. What is you substrate in the jars, pure vermiculite?

Bury it far away from your growroom.

I used a grow kit. I don’t think I’m allowed to use websites on here though or I’d say the company. I have 6 jars and all 4 sides of every jar have this color. Surely I didn’t mess up all the jars/inoculation points.

Maybe the syringe was contaminated from the get go, or your substrate wasn't steralized properly, or it just slipped in somehow. Do you inoculate in a SAB?

Nope seems like you deserve a refund, or a frwsh batch. Contact the company, or lump it and do all the preperation yourself (its better this way).

No I used the oven method after cleaning out my entire kitchen and turning off the air. So there’s no question that this is a contam of some kind ?

Spore syringes are not sterile by nature. Gotta put the spores to agar first.

They have trichoderma. Throw them out.

What is the oven method? I wouldn't advise using anything other than a SAB or flowhood. Other things could work but until I see somebody with lots of experience recommend something else, SABs and flowhoods are my go-to.

Keep in mind that nearly all spore syringes have some contamination in them. Using spore syringes > BRF usually works because there's enough spores that the mycelium takes hold before the contaminants. It may or may not be your syringe but 2 things to keep in mind: Syringes from shroomery sponsors will usually be less prone to contamination, and putting spores to agar and then inoculating using agar allows you to clean your spores and ensure a clean culture.
