Grain jar bruising or contam?
    #27288974 - 05/01/21 10:21 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Buddy of mine opened these up the other morning and after shaking the jar and opening some some of the mycelium looks kinda black/blueish.

he already tossed em but i am just curious for science if these looked good or contamed? They smelled good earthy and healthy no weird smells from them.

They might of been good still because the jars were all white prior to shaking and the smell test passed.

what do you guys think?

Just looks like bruising. Yes that jar is disgusting and should be tossed out. However, I have spawned jars that were not quite as bad as that but they had the same bluing with thick bacterial clumps and got a decent flush out of it

Yeah I was worried about the clumps too but could it be bacteria contam if it had no smell to it?

I remember him mentioning his WBS (grain he used) was really wet before he loaded it into a jar to PC. Like sitting out on a paper towel for hours and still wet.

Maybe it was just improperly prepared grain. He has since switched to oats which are a lot easier to prepare. Hoping the next batch comes out better.

Yeah bacterial jars don't always smell bad. If the grain was that wet he should have tossed them and try again because they will end up like this every time.

just for example of healthy spawn
