10 rye jars fully colonized....I've noticed some aqua green spots in the myc the last couple days. Doesnt seem like the green spots are growing...
No NastySmell!!!

Is this bruising from when i shook the shit out of my jars? Or is it mold?
thanx -shaw

pic isnt realy clear... but if you get a q-tip and wipe it over the spot if it comes off clean then its bruising if it comes off green then its contam.

is there any saving the jars? or should i just dump and try again...
Could my LC be contaminated? I see darks spots in the clouds, but im assuming its pieces of carmelized honey thats attached to the mycelium.

Are you positive it's green mold? If you're positive it's green mold, there's no saving it. Otherwise I'd suggest you do the q-tip thing or just wait a couple of days to see if it grows. Green mold is actually rather easy to distinguish. For one there's always a rotting/sweet smell. And two, it's raised, like a separate growth, as compared to bruising, which is just discoloration of existing mycelium.
And those dark spots could just be clumps of spores. The best way to determine if an LC is contaminated is to do some agar work.

Well does it look like extra growth, like slightly elevated from the normal mycelial growth, or does it just look like discolored myc? I suppose it's possible that the q-tip rubbed off some actual myc... I dunno, it's hard to tell w/o a clear picture.

I still can't tell. If you have it in a terrarium with healthy cakes you don't want to contaminate, just make a poor man's terrarium w/ a soda bottle or coffee can or anything along those lines in which you can put some saturated perlite and isolate the cake. Watch it for a while, if the green grows and gets funky smelling, you know it's bad, if not, it may just be bruising. Just give it a few days, it'll become clear.

The first one looked like green, the second looks like bruising..at this point Id guess bruising but unless you can get a decent picture (looks like your shaking or moving? Try setting the camera on something?) no ones gonna be able to tell you for sure. If nothing comes off on a cuetip and its not spreading thats a pretty good clue its bruising as well.

agreed. wait a few days, and take tiny_rabid_birds advice and isolate it.
