Is this g2g blue oyster contaminated?
    #28364241 - 06/18/23 10:43 AM (7 months, 7 days ago)

Hi,

This was bought spawn and I did my first g2g in a SAB.

I'll be honest, it was a perfect example of how things can go wrong, so I am not hopeful.

Thanks

It has some bacteria going on in there. Oysters will usually power through but with reduced yields

I know this is a lot of questions, and if you want to tell me to go learn about it in a book, that's fine, I understand.

Are they all equally contaminated?

Are the first two images where there is a lot of pure white  contaminated? Is that white contamination and not the oyster mycelium then? I've never seen this before and just trying to understand.

Also, should I, and would you, throw them away?

If I do use them, would they produce a lot less mushrooms? Why would that be? Is it because there isn't so much colonisation or because the mycelium is weaker?



Thanks

The top two pictures and the bottom two pictures are the only jars I would consider using. For the other jars, I would dump them in a shaded area in your yard and check back they may produce something small.

Thanks again. I'm about to make a new batch of substrate and have some of the original spawn from a pro that I used for that g2g, so can test them against that.

That was my first g2g. I had problems with the disc bit of the lids being pressure closed and so it was turbulent in my sab.

Also, when I popped those disc lids, did that suck a load of possibly contaminated air into the jar?

If the lids had a filter then opening the jar in the sab would not suck air into the jar, because pressure would've already equalized on cooling from the pressure cook.

I'm scratching my beard now wondering why they didn't have filters.

My other jars do.

    #28366612 - 06/20/23 04:42 AM (7 months, 5 days ago)

Hi,

Should I get these out of my home? Can I use the ones that shroomsisay1 are ok and mix with substrate in my home ok and safely?

I also have some jars of LC that are probably contaminated and thought I could still open the jars safely and do some experiments on the mycelium.

Is this dangerous?

I know spores can be, should I assume the same with potential unwanted other stuff growing - contamination - in my agar and LC?

Thanks

The ones that you say look contaminated I will throw in the bin.

Is there a good Tek for removing contam from jars.

I will search but now isn't a good time for that, so thought to ask.

PS I'm reading stuff on here all the time and still find it difficult to sort which posts are ok even with advanced search unfortunately.

I have the mentality where I don't like uncertainty and so ask for clarification a lot. Sorry.

yes, i would spawn the ones shrooms pointed out
if you are worried some bacteria being safe i wouldn't worry about it

imo the eaiest way to start clean would be cloning one of the fruits on agar and going from there
i cloned fruits from bacterial and mouldy blocks without issues

I would just pc the jars with the spawn in them on a regular sterilizing cycle. If you want to do it quicker empty the contents then pc the jars for about 30 to 40 minutes and everything that is bad should be dead.
