Need advice - is this contamination?
    #26950415 - 09/23/20 02:52 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Hello,

This is my first attempt at bulk growing.

Casing layer: coco choir and vermiculite.
Spawn: I took 3 BRF B+ cakes that had already fruited twice, broke them into pieces, and mixed them with 5 jars of sterilized rye that I hadn't inoculated.

The rye has been sterilized using this tek: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/4576865#4576865

The casing layer has been prepared using this tek: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/11916595

I then mixed the spawn and the grain together inside the tub, and I added an additional layer of choir on the top as a cover layer. I put the tub in a giant black trash bag, with holes to allow for air exchange.

7 days later, I opened the bag to check. I found weird white webs, and other things that looked "normal".

Does this look like contamination?

Does not look like it, looks like healthy mycelium to me.

looks like a pin mold to me

here is an example from 1 of my grows:



watch for little black pin heads to appear on the tips of dog hair like growth

+1 for mold :frown:

But think about what you did, you took cakes that were out in the relative open, shredded them and added them to blank grain...

If anything couldn't get a foothold on the cakes, they sure could on the uncolonized grain.
