Possible Contam, Ident?
    #5705236 - 06/02/06 07:44 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

I took a look at my first attempt at WBS (now well over a month old) and I found two jars with something growing, though I doubt strongly that it's myc.

My camera does not do acceptable macros so I simply drew a reasonable facsimile:



The material is a white fluffy mass, fairly two demensional (like paper) but it has a pitch black mass at the center of each growth that radiates outward. Black specks appear around the mass as well.

Is there any chance this is myc? If so, I might owe my vendor an apology and a check.

You're describing either cobweb or mucor, the black pin mold. Here's a pic of cobweb. Pin mold is similar, but with the black dots you describe.

This definitely has black speckles so I think it's the latter.

I'll let it grow, see if it develops any new characteristics. On the magstir right now.
