I haven't had my luck on the contamination forums, so I figured I would post it here where there seems to be more forum activity.
To quickly sum it up, I'm using a martha with only a coolmist in a very small space.

My incubator sits directly to the left, and my martha to the right.

Temperatures within the closet were spiking to around 82 degrees, so I added a small 10 inch box fan along with the holmes air purifier that I've been running.

In a stupid attempt to have a larger fruiting surface, I used larger containers that I should have and I only built my casing layer with 1/2 inch of substrate. The casings took around 2 weeks to fully colonize and just a few days ago, I had my first pinset. The casings originally had a problem with small patches of cobweb, and I'm afraid that I might have even sprayed some areas that weren't cobweb with H202. Now I seems to have a blue tint to some areas of my mycellium network along with some overlay. In my opinion, I don't think this is a contam because it hasn't "spread", and the color of the mycellium changed immediately after pinset.



Sorry for the large picture, but I wanted quality for your opinions.
Again, I have perfectly healty pins growing from the mycellium, but I feared that it could be blue mold, and with so much air circulation in the room itself, I was afraid it would spread to other casings.
Thanks guys.

Take a Q tip and rub it on one of the green/blue spots and tell me if the Q tip gets green stuff on it.
That doesnt even look like mold to me, it looks like bruising. Probably from high temps and or low humidity. You do know that you are not supposed to try and fully colonise your casing layer right? Those should of been fruited days ago.

poke your casing somewhere where it looks normal, and see if it bruises the same color. Sorry i'm not experienced enough to correctly identify this

Trust me the Qtip trick will tell us if its trich or not. If green mold spores stick to the Q tip then that means it is green mold.
Simple as that.

No, there is no transfer of color from the casing to the q-tip.
The temperatures sat at 80-82 for a few days. Is that temperature sufficent enough to cause bruising?
And yes, I do understand that I'm not supposed to colonise the casing layer completely. I used a lot more coco coir than vermiculite, and it seems like it came back to bite me. I'm also cycling different casings into the FC at different times to figure out when the best time to fruit them would be based upon pinset and fruiting results.
My RH has been 82-90% I figure those numbers to be acceptable. Would water from a mist bottle cause discoloration if I am using an H202 solution?
Thanks again.

The h2o2 if it was strong enough could of done it I would think. It could be from it being hot and dry in there too.
Its not green mold though so you are ok. They dont smell sour or anything do they? They should only smell like mushrooms

possibly too strong of a h2o2 solution, spraying healty myc shouldn't cause bruising/oxidation
