yeah, it is really wet..........
have you ever had the displeasure of experincing this bacterial contam i read something about???
http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/23417 "Bacterial contamination is usually colorless, but makes the substrate look wet, slimy, and mycelium will grow very slow and thick on bacteria contaminated substrate, if at all. Bacterial contamination is also detectable by a strong odour emerging the jar, varying from the smell of stinky feet over spoiled milk to really disgusting sweet reek. While bacterial contamination usually results from unsuficient sterilisation, molds' spores are also often transfered to the substrate at the time of inoculation, either by inoculum itself, the tools used or through the air."
but, i don't smell anything nasty. just grainy smell....like what it smelt like in the first place....

you'll notice a bacterial contam smell. It will be evident as soon as you open the incubator.

And to see everything else is to become an understanding molecule in evolution, a conscious tool of the universe. And I think every human being should be a conscious tool of the universe. . . . -JG i really am glad you came back to us instead of taking the other path. *hug* -A_S (RIP your final words to me will never be forgotten)
