Possible contamination of mycelium?
    #26987965 - 10/16/20 05:44 AM (3 years, 3 months ago)

Hi there

This is my first attempt at cultivating and I have a question, I am nearly at week 6 after injecting spores, mycelium growing nicely and after checking the pot I notice some discolored residue/water I have noticed a fair amount of condensation

Wondering if best to scrap and retry or is this sometimes expected, will it effect the the pot later on?

The mycelium itself isn't discoloured just tthe liquid




Kind regards

It looks kinda bacterial but it can still probably fruit

Thanks for replying.

I'll keep it around to take it through the full process, I'm hoping since it's only on the bottom it may not the sides or top


Regards

Yeah, thats a little too much water and therefore bacteria appeared. Thats normal. Bacteria are the one contam that can be, in not too high amounts, tolerated and not a problem. If you water, like directly pour onto the box thats no good. Instead just lightly spray, but even that shouldnt be neccesary if the bag/box is closed anough as it should be. The moisture should just hold, for a while at least. You can try turning the box over and leaving it for a while, seeing if some water drips out, that might fix the water problem a bit

The pot is sealed, should open the seal and try and allow the water to drain?
