Can myc colonize bacterial infected substrate?

hey just theoretically. I have reason to wonder wether my cakes are contamed with bacteria, cannot be sure though (since I don't want to open one up to smell it). Good news is, that they are currently being colonized at quite a good rate. My question is: is the growth (which is very good) an indication that everything is all right, and I can rest assured... or is it possible that inspite of the growth there could be bacteria in the jars?
What happend was: For me the first time working with LC.After I had innoced everything I needed to (and since I don't plan to do any more relativly soon) I thought I had no more use for my LC, which was spent anyhow... I have not been concerned about anything since the jars are colonizing well, but when oppening up the LC to tip out the rest of the solution, I noticed that it had an odor. I am thinking this came from the fact that the water solution smelled the way it did because of the malt and general sweetness and thats that (it doesn't smell like the last times I had bacteria I don't think). Anyhow... after tipping out the water and washing it out the jar smelled like fresh mushrooms (like a fully colonized cake). I worked quite clean and used H2O2 sparingly. Hmm I dunno, perhaps I should have used more H2O2, or perhaps its not problem... I dunno...

Don't try to fix what isn't broken. If the jars are colonizing fine, leave them be. If they're contaminated with bacteria, you should be able to smell it through the verm barrier or filter disk. RR
