Yellow bits... contamination?

Hi all... I’ve got a mini monotub/shoebox thing going on and I found a pin today, however, I also found yellow on my mycelium. Bacteria? Should I ditch this, or see how it goes? I don’t wanna end up eating bacteria infested shrooms. This was spawned 14 days ago. Cheers!

Looks like metabolites. The mycelium looks pretty unhealthy. There's probably an underlying contamination, keep an eye out for bright white growth. Whatever fruits do come up should be fine though.

Just checked, smells like wet coir and mycelium  But in all seriousness, nothing out of the ordinary. No sweet or sour smell, etc. Cheers!

Yeah, may have gotten too dry and then too wet... I’m glad I can harvest whatever fruits come out. I’m taking better care of it now and I’ll look out for unusual white growth. Cheers!

Yeah that’s why I said shoebox/monotub. It’s a mash that I made out of a taped up SGFC that probably doesn’t even fit into any of the categories  I should have just said grow  I’ve got a cracked lid up top because when I flipped it (like bods unmodified tek) it dried out too quick. This is not a tek to a t and that’s my bad  Cheers!

no all good! just saw that. better fill those holes against contaminations its unnecesary if something goes wrong because of a little thing like this. cotton balls also do their job if you got no polyfill

Exposed mycelium can turn yellow if it dries out. Most likely not contam if it smells ok, but just keep an eye on it

Though are you referring to all the holes on the sides? They’re all taped up and sealed! My FAE is coming from the top! Cheers!

Micropore tape and polyfill are not used as filters when used on a monotub. They are simply air restriction devices used to dial in the perfect amount of FAE.
