Black Specs II
    #5795105 - 06/27/06 08:24 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

I have a pint jar of aspen substrate inoculated with a piece of dried mushy and am seeing lots of "spider web" growth on top. Unfortunately there are also tiny black specs dispersed through the threads and on the side of the jar. (pic attached) I boiled the jar for nearly two hours before inoculation (I dropped a piece of mushy off a sterilized pin through a hole in the top) I followed the Strainsaver tek from the FAQ. Any ideas what this could be? Could I make an uncontaminated LC to create syringes using this mycelium?

Looks like pin mold. Toss it.

Consult the contamination FAQ:

Toss it.

You need to work on your technique for cloning alot. It has to be completly sterile enviroment(Glovebox/Flowhood).

If your using a piece of the stipe then you need to use the inside piece, not a piece from the outside.

Probally will be able to find some information in the FAQ and Archives.
