...or about day 15 from spore inoculation. these are pf jars from AFOAF in amsterdam. hopefully i will get to travel there this summer! he said one of them has possible contam... there are 2 pictures of that in different hues. they are kept at 28C-29C all the time with a small electric heater with a digital therm. he also said daily they are shaken slowly, vertically and lid facing down, just enough for the cake to move out some of the CO2 buildup. they are on average 60%-75% colonized after 11 days of mycelial growth. do any of you know if this may be contam?

it is often the case that there is a little wetness with mycelium growth... but that is looking a bit suspect... what color is that? green? or blue??

green is not good. occasionally you see some bluing, if you've shaken with force, but usually that is clearly blue.
the only thing to do now, though, is wait. if it colonizes fully then you'll know. if not, you have other jars!!

That looks like a jar Mr. Owl just threw out. Sorry, but that one might need to be tossed.
Good luck.

they were not shaken with force. the spots are on non-colonated substrate.
also in the middle of one island-area of mycelium (in the same jar with the green) it has turned to a slightly not-so-white look.
one thing i just thought of is i remember how he was telling me the shaking method. on that one it look like verm is all over so maybe it was shaken with the lid facing up and with verm tubling down the sides, contam was also introduced. these were all pc'ed 15psi for over an hour. hypothesis: keep jars facing lid-down always and/or never shakes it to try and get more CO2 drainage.

There seems to be a lot of empty space in the jar (first picture). Does your friend have dry verm on top? These definitely help to keep the contams out.
Good luck.

It's Greenie meanie...

It Begins as white and then turns green....
Don't worry about co2 until the last week
The greenie started from no-where....And it typically is only on grains, but it obvisouly is on/in your BRF mix, and it needs to be sterilyzed at temps. above the boiling point of water..My point is...
If you get greenie on Brf, then you should PC next time, boiling doesn't kill it...I donno lol, Good luck man
