Pinkish contam; safe to grow?
    #27002633 - 10/25/20 12:08 PM (4 years, 2 months ago)

Third attempt and same issue with previous tries, there’s a pinkish fuzz along with the white mycelium. I threw out the previous jars but this time I’ve left them long enough that one is starting to pin. Any ideas what this contamination could be, and is it safe to try and fruit them?

I used a pressure cooker for over an hour, have a still air box, used a lighter on the needle between each jar, used a boat load of isopropyl - even used micro lore tape over the holes before injecting. A tad frustrating.

Any help to both questions above would be really appreciated.

How is FAE supposed to kill it?

Yeah those cakes are definitely contaminated.

I would toss them personally. I've had success in the past by cutting out the contaminated area if the mycelium has colonized the majority of the cake, but I can't recommend this. Just saying that it can work.

At the end of the day the best practice is always to toss out anything that is contaminated. Learn from it next go-around by improving your sterile procedures and brainstorming where the contamination may have been introduced.

Agar is a very valuable tool for preventing this as well.
