Contamination Question
    #26999510 - 10/23/20 11:04 AM (3 years, 3 months ago)

Hello Everyone,

I think I'm having some troubles using spawn bags with Psilocybe Cubensis syringes (5cc per 5lb bag, 2lbs of which is grain at 81F).  I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, maybe too much moisture or too high of a temperature? Either way it looks like the mycelium is producing metabolites just based on the yellow fluid building up in the bags.  The last picture is a bag after the grain was ~80% colonized, then mixed together with the substrate in the top half of the bag and let sit for a week.  The tub is one of these bags which colonized faster using the same process broken out after a week.  My main worry is about the yellow fluid which showed up again in the tub.  Now the tub is showing a blueish green color around the edge as of this morning so I thought I should make a post before throwing out or breaking out the other three bags. 

Has anyone had a similar problem like this before? Can you confirm what is happening?

I'd really appreciate any advice you all have.

Thanks

I am a noob so take this with a grain of salt. That looks like trichoderma in the tub..

Wait for someone more experienced to chime in.

It could actually be very healthy mycelium.. I think the lighting is confusing me 😂

Thanks for the input, I'll look into trichoderma to see if that could be it.  Also the pictures could be causing some confusion, the last photo of the tub is from this morning when I noticed the blueish/green on the sides.  The rest are from the day before to show a little progression with the second picture showing the yellowish clear fluid.  I fanned the tub because there was sitting moisture and noticed the blueish/green the next day.  I hope its healthy!

Tiptrippy is certainly right.

Early signs of Trich can be hard to detect in a pic but I think I see it at least in the spots I've noted. Most likely it is all over but you will be able to tell very soon.

Update - I had some early bloomers pop up, they look okay to me.  Strange the side with the concern now has the most pins coming up the side.  Think things or okay? I broke open the other bags into tubs, hopefully they do well.

Nice size fruits you got there 👍

Did you touch them? I haven't seen fruits bruise while growing before.

No I hadn't messed with them, was wondering the same thing.  I thought it could just be the spores dropping.
