well i posted this in the contam forum but with no real resalts so i figured i would try posting in here, if this is a no no im sorry mods .
heres the story.. i was reading around in the tec section and read 9er's tec ( http://www.shroomery.org/index/par/7923 ) and he said that he takes a fresh fruit body and skins it and puts it in a jar with some water and blends it up with a blender (sterilized of corse) then uses that to inoc his jars. i thought it would be a cool idea so i tried it, that was 10-16 and heres a pic of one of my jars from this morring, they all look like this..

from reading around in the contam forum, it says that cobweb mold is a grayish color, but this stuff is snow white, and is forming like a foamy spunge in the air space in my jars. i didnt know if it could be mycilum (since its so white) and just growing diff since i used a diff tec im not sure.
no i dont have a flow hood and never made a glove box (i know there easy to make i just dont wanna make one). i have a small room that ive been using since i began that i sterilize before i work and so far its been 99% effective. and the black dots are WBS.
just wanted someone with some experince to look at it before i chuck them all. ty, l8r.

Although it's snow white, (never seen contam like that)...that is a shit-ton of myc for 4 days!
I like the sound of that tek if this is in fact healthy myc!!!

mushigood, did you not read that the 'myc' is snow white? Have you ever know of cobweb being snow white? If so, post me a link. Not to mention he said it's 'spongey' where as cobweb is stringy and, well, weblike.
Will: I know how you feel, contam forum is non-responsive. As for the wrong forum, I don't think so. You're simply posting pics of a certain technique and askin if they're contamed. I mean, colonizing jars ARE part of cultivation.
I am curious to see someone that has done this method, if they had same/similar results.

Well, it looks like it could have been OK. Before you opened the jar. When I use LC's, my 1/2 pint jars are done in 7 days. The reason its centralized like that is, from what I see, because you only had one inoculating hole in your jar lid. In the center it looks like.

well its been 5 days and the "air space" in my jars are full of this stuff, but none of it is "sticking" to my grain. i can see it goes all down the sides of my jars but its not forming on the grains, hope that makes sence.. i have 4 inoc points in my lids, that hole u see is just the poly-fill hole, the rest are covered w/ slicone. and i shaked my jars after inoculating them. i have 6 qt jars and 4 pnt jars that i inoced using this tec and they all look exactly the same. so if it is mycilum im still good. the qt jars were all soaked for 24 hrs and simmered for 30-45 min then PC for 45 min. and the pint jars were just rinsed and water was added to the jar and PC. that is the only diff in the jars.

Ride it out. Doesn't really look like a contam to me . LC inoculated jars will look like they are doing nothing the first couple days, then they explode with growth.
Good Luck.

You could also crack one and smell it if you want to be certain. Dont go inhaling too close to that stuff, in case it is a nasty contam.

They can, and almost always, spread.

as said in my own post... I am probably not right :P I have only had cobweb mold once so.... :P i was just saying what i thought it looked like cause my jar did the same thing when it got cobweb. The mass grew all the way to the top of the jar and it was pretty fairly white though it did have a grey tint to it.
