Mold / Contamination in My Shoebox?
    #27008778 - 10/28/20 04:34 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

I'm guessing this is mold. It's a weird color, smells weird, and there wa s a bug in there. I was under the impression that the shoebox didn't need to be a sterile process. What went wrong? Or is this just normal mycelium, and the bug is normal (lol)?

Yeah that doesn't look good. When you say that 'shoeboxes didn't need to be a sterile process', what exactly do you mean?

If any of the said above is incorrect, please correct me! Still learning here and constructive criticism is the best :smile:

Since the BRF cake was already fully colonized, I thought that I didn't have to be as precious with the shoebox preparation. I washed my hands, prepped the coir with boiling water, and mixed the prepped coir with the spawn in the shoebox, and then sprayed it with water and put the lid on. Not sure where the contamination happened in there. My other 2 shoeboxes are looking good...
