Contamination identification help * 1
    #28006999 - 10/19/22 08:06 PM (2 years, 2 months ago)

I have had this reoccurring contamination in two different batches. I thought from my first it was too much moisture and that is not the case the second time. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong or how to potentially save my growth. I would call it a dark purple grayish appearance.

Is it possible it’s just spreading spores? Can all the mycelium turn dark purple from spores?

So it would be normal for it to turn all the mycelium in my grow bag that color?

I get that. First time doing this. Technically second, and I got rid of my whole first batch because of it. So I just wanted to double check it wasn’t the respective area around it but the discoloration could take over the whole bag. I’m just trying to learn, my apologies. Good to know I’ve been worrying over nothing this entire time and got rid of a perfectly good growth.

Yeah it looks like spores or what i like to call "spore splooge". If you pick your fruits too late, this can happen. It doesnt affect the mycelium or fruits, but it does make them look "off".

Also, nice nail polish. I dig the purple-stone pattern. :cool2:

Jumping in on your post as it was a recent reach for contamination help...just another newb here...Im not really sure what to make of this spot in my colonization process. Started some rustic blue magnolias just to give it a shot. Inoculated 18 jars and this is the only one with this appearance. Going PF tek and want to make sure I don't bring any contaminated colony into the mix when I go to fruit. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm flying blind by the seat lol.

Thank you!!! Same thought process...not worth the potential threat to the rest of the cakes.
