Very light purple, is it contam or bruising?
    #28391786 - 07/10/23 08:24 PM (1 year, 6 months ago)

I’ve spent the last 30 mins searching and haven’t found anything similar or conclusive. Is this contaminated? It has produced one flush with some chunky healthy mushrooms. The purple tint is isolated to the two corners.

Looks like bruising, pins aborting, and uncolonized parts of the surface of the sub.

I isolated it in a different room just in case. But I sincerely hope you are right. Thanks for the response!!

I will say it isn't looking promising but putting it in its own room is the right idea.

You see the parts I’m talking about? The mycelium that is slightly a dif color in the top left about 1/4 and top right about 1/4 of the tub.

Annotate the pictures to show what you are most worried about. I see a bunch of stuff that looks "off".

I circled the parts of the mycelium that appear a shade of purple to me.

Is there a contaminate that would turn the myc a very light shade of purple?

The purple is just spores from the first flush - it's nothing to worry about.

Thanks broseph. If you are right imma kiss you. Spores dropped in other areas and were much darker but maybe dropped lightly in those areas or something. Idk, but thanks for the input Buddrow Wilson.

That was the part in between the areas the OP circled. User is correct that the space between the circles looks to be a spore load.

In regards to the spots OP circled its aborted pins, bruising, and uncolonized surface area. No contam to my eye but I rarely see a substrate that isn't fully covered in mycelium not contaminate but you already got 1 flush so you should be good unless something more troubling shows down the line.
