Blue contam? (Not bruising)

I noticed this in 2 of my tubs, it looks like it’s all over some Of the mushrooms too, it can’t be bruising, it’s costing some of the mushrooms and getting worse? Harvest now and toss the tub?

Thats mold for sure. When it happens to me I cut out the mold and put salt in the hole get out the first flush then chuck it. Sucks man

Should I just harvest now or give it a few more hours? It seems to be spreading.

And do you fill the entire whole with salt? What’s your reasoning for using salt?

dont cut it or add salt. that is old outdated info. if you cut into the sub, you will just spread the spores everywhere and introduce new ones.
if you are desperate for spores, let the fruits mature. toss the tub afterwards tho cause that is definitely mold.

you got a nice pinset though. keep on working on your sterile technique in the SAB and you will do fine!!

This is from spore inoculation. And I made my sub way to fucking wet. My next tubs I make them dryer and add moisture through misting if needed. Also I already added salt, and put a paper towel over it. I’m gonna wait for this nice pinset to mature and do my first transfers to agar. Just waiting for my plates to come in.

yeah spores to bulk is basically a shot in the dark if you dont clean up cultures on agar.
take clones AND prints!!!!

I wasn’t planning on prints since I already have trich, I feel like it’s more prone to contam, prints in general to me seem more prone to contam. I’d rather just focus on agar. Unless there’s a reason you can convince me otherwise haha! Obviously I assume my own prints with proper sterile tek will be “clean”

your prints will never be clean. you are not fruiting in sterile conditions.
the point of agar is to separate (as much as possible) the good stuff from the bad stuff.
if you take prints there will be millions of cube spores- surely you will be able to get some germinated, even if some of those nasty spores get in there

I already have a few plates of agar I knocked up with spores, so maybe I can do a bunch of transfers and see what happens. But I’ll be using fruits on agar tomorrow night. I also took a few fruits and split the shroom down the middle and put some of the inside of the stem into a grain back to see what will happen.

You got it bud! Worth the experiment, I had extra grains from my soak and fresh fruit, so why not. Lol I read some posts that was saying your a idiot for trying that, and some Posts that said they had some success. So we’ll see. I’m also curious if you can cut your mycelium straight from your sub to inoc lol

I have done it. I find mold grows so fast sometimes it fucks up the fruits before they mature.

the general consensus here (and for good reason) is to get the basics down, then experiment
there are thousands and thousands of posts here on the shroomery. your experiments have most likely been done or thought about.
it would be a better use of your time to read more instead of experimenting. and stick to trusted teks.
youre trying to grow mushies, right? follow trusted guides now, experiment later

I agree actually I just do it if I feel like the mold will mess up the fruits. But for sure let em mature get all you can and toss it. Then print em and then to agar like Bigdub said. you have a few nice clusters too I would clone those to agar.
