    #27801894 - 06/01/22 07:40 PM (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hi,

I am a new grower. I want to make sure I identify substrates that should be tossed. can you please look at these and tell me if this is normal. The humidity has been on the high side, so i turned the temp down a bit.

we could see it better if you took it out the jar.

You turned the temp down on the AC in your house?

i use a a kit from midwest growers with the heated mat. I turned that temperature down. It was in the mid 80s for temp.

oh I see now.

That high of temp can hurt the myc and allow contams to take over. Id stop using the heat pad completely, if temp is comfortable for you its fine for myc.

It is a little wet and probably a little bacterial.  I have seen way worse jars produce mushrooms though.

If you are worried about that one you could throw a ziplock baggie over the top and add a little verm like this


That jar in the pic produced about four decent flushes.

Good luck and welcome to the Shroomery!

Although mycelium does give off heat and a bit of condensation during colonization phase, your jar looks way too wet and a bit bacterial. How long has it been since inoculation?  I wouldn’t toss them until you open the lid and get s good smell and look at them. Worse vines to worse, like someone else said, top fruit them. Oh and never use a heat mat or direct heat as it can lead to too high temps causing bacterial to grow. Keep it under 80 if possible. I like to keep mine at 77 during colonization as mycelium will generate heat
