Spot of green inside Rye jar (update after 2 days in incubator)

Hey guys... Was just making some rye casings using coir as a substrate. I was using a (sterilized) knife to brake up all the my and get the kernels out of the colonized quart jar... the myc looked completly fine from the outside. While I was pouring the rye out into the casing things also looked fine until I saw a tiny spot of green. I stoped pouring the kernels out and investigated. I broke up all the rye and couldn't see anymore green just one tiny spot, I'd say there were about 5 or 7 kernels effected, all the rest even the ones right around them had healthy cube myc. Do you think there's any chance the casing will make it? THanks for any replies... peace

green means sporulated. sporulated means bad news.
I wouldl not put that tray in my fruiting chamber. any sight of green inside the house not contained in a jar is bad news. remove from the house immediately.
That's just what I would do.

If it looked like this color, then it's done for,

If not maybe just a bruise and you will be fine.

I forgot to mention none of the green kernels actually got in the casing. As soon as I spoted it (it was really just a tiny spot and the rest WAS cube myc... I can tell I've done enough grows to know) I stoped pouring the rye into the casing... I investigated all the rye that I had already poured out and there wasn't a signe of green there anywhere... the rest of the jar I threw away. And no it didn't look like the green in your picture. It was darker and a bit dusty and not visible from the outside... I've neglected my set up a little bit recently because I had to go away for a few days in that time one casing I had going got infected with green... its the first time I've had a casing contam. I'm surprised that its shown up inside a fully colonized and healthy looking rye jar now as well. I've started misting with an H2O2 solution just incase... I think its because its started to be nice weather that there are just more spores floating around than there were all winter and spring.
Anyway.. I've got the casing in my incubator now I'll check it in about 3 days, by then it should have colonized the coir pretty good, I'll let you know at that point wether or not it was infected... keepingfingerscrossed... peace

Just for your information, when you see it, if it is a contam,
It's to late there could be millions of spores through out the jar,
As you take it out, there could be millions of spores that get spread everywhere.
Again if it is, you'll find out soon enough.

I've only had mycelium overtake a contam once...
during colonization.
and I was amazed then.

Reishi can survive them, but if you use the contaminated reishi to spawn more grains, they fail everytime.
A good rule is if it's green, toss it out. RR

Well after 2 days the Coir is about 50-60% colonized and there are no signes of green anywhere visible.... If it completes colonizing the coir without any visible signes of contam should I still throw it out or would you risk fruiting it?

The one and only time I had contams I managed to beat them when they were inside the jars. As soon I spoted green I dug it out, eventually the myclelium won. However I got quite ill from the process, since I was breathin whatevere that green was.
So there's another reason why u should not fight it.
I crush grains jars seperately so that if there's some infection inside it doesn't pass to the casing.
