I will be getting a pic up later tonight or early tomorrow. I checked on my bulk substrate today, it is currently in the 7th day of colonization. I noticed that in some of the patches of mycelium there are like reddish tinted strands. I know it is hard to judge without a pic, but could this be contam?

Yes, yes it certainly could. In fact, it probably is. post some pics later for verification.

All of my bulk trays are colonizing with this reddish brown stuff. They were all done on different days, with different strains. I'm beginning to wonder if I got some contaminated substrate or something. I mean none of them are even in the same incubator and they all are getting the same contam, whats up with that?

Yeah it's hpoo. It's not hindering the myc growth, just as the myc spreads it spreads with it. Oh and it doesn't have any smell to it at all.

That's some awesome looking mycelium right there. Get it covered back up, and give it another two or three days before you check it again. When fully colonized, it will be ready to case, or fruit uncased if you choose. RR

Wow! I thought for sure it was contam'd. Any explanation why the myc is tinted RR? Also is the liquid in the 2nd pic just myc piss?

Metabolyte. I've seen that color before on rapidly growing mycelium. The pics aren't the best, but I don't see any contaminants. RR

Thanks RR. You're such an asset to the shroomery. I'll try and get some close ups tonight just for confirmation.
