Contam? First Rusty Whyte Grow

This is my 1st Rusty Whyte grow and I've never seen myc look like this. Are the blotchy areas some kind of mold?

Hi,
Since I will be performing my first grow as Pf tek to coir, can you tell me what is wrong in the OPs picture so that I may have some knowledge. Thanks!

It looks kinda like one of the cobweb mold types I have had. There are several different ones. Sandman could tell you for sure.
I don't really recommend doing this but I sprayed mine with h2o2 and the cobweb melted away immediately. The mycelium also suffered but it still flushed ok.
I would probably do that before tossing it though.
Hydrogen peroxide is pretty fierce and I would only use it for cobweb mold in this hobby.
We just had a spray bottle on hand for cuts/first aid etc so I decided to give it a shot. It was growing on a peat casing layer on some PE I did a while back.
Good luck!

Looks like mold. Was your spawn bacterial? How did you make your spawn.

It was an LC gifted from a friend. I tested on agar 1st and the plates appeared clean. I gifted those out and used the same syringe to knock up the grain.

Likely user error then.
Ninjas make it look easy. Try to make it look easy instead of trying to do the thing how you know to. Pretend there is an audience and you are their best bet at survival.
Trying to make it look easy will help it become easy.

I'd say it's not good. The top definitely looks like it will turn green/blue any day. I would also recommend if you want to hold onto it to see what happens, take it to a different area other than where you currently grow.

I did hit it with a little bit of 3% h2o2 and nothing happened. Just what you would typically see from liquid landing on myc.
@bigworm The 1st thing I did was move it to another room. I'm gonna watch and see what happens so I can take notes.

I did the same with my first contaminated tub. It was helpful to see what trich looked like first hand. Good luck, hopefully it won't turn colors on you.
