jar fungus madness

#589054 - 03/25/02 02:44 PM (21 years, 8 months ago)

These are psilocybe cubensis spores and it has been well:
first 4 jars after 2 weeks = white fungus with a little light green
next 4 jars after 2 weeks = white with some orange in the mix

Anyone tell me what colors are bad and or good thanks!!

shit man from what you said those are contaminated. BE CAREFUL. anything besides white is bad . I would not suggest trying to fruit those jars.
what process did you use?
what strian did you use?
I am just curious.
remember colors are bad in colonizing.

well we boiled the jars and then let them fully cool, then right after we ingected them with psilocybe cubensis ... the strain was called Golden Teacher.
Any suggestions for me on this part of the process ? And thank you for a quick reply!

my biggest mistake that caused contams, was not flaming the needle after EACH jar, i started doing this, and cut contams down from 12/12 to 1/12( and the one came from a dry jar, where they mycellium just quit growing and the wait let greeny meany set in

AH HA ! That is something I didn't do ! One thing that brings my attention to this is that we used a lighter to "clean" the tip but had soot (spelling?) all over it... so I heated it up on the oven which i thought would work. any suggestions to heating the tip without making it nasty ? =>

word, thanks for the info people!!

You could always rub the tip of the syringe down with some rubbing alcohol... That might help :P
