Millet spawn gone purple?
    #28024173 - 10/30/22 08:45 AM (2 years, 2 months ago)

Hello there.
I have some jars with white millet that colonized well until they turned purple.
I assume this can't be bruises, rather some contam?
First try with millet.
Regards.

Yeah, spawn that bad boy to the trash can. The pinkish color makes me think lipstick mold, it looks pretty bacterial and I've never even seen purple. It's pretty, but yes, it's contaminated. Sorry for your loss.

What was your inoculation method?

Hello and thanks for your reply.
I did inoculate with 2 syringe made from my own sporeprints, some went purple and some are all white.
Now I'm using agar wedge on future jars.
At first I thought it was bruising and did some g2g, and then I learned spawn doesn't bruise...

Spawn can bruise. Not that drastically and definitely not that color, but it can bruise, especially if you don't have a good filter on your lid and it starts to dry out a little.

Agar will be your friend moving forward. Having a clean culture in your grains is critical.

Best of luck!
