Has anybody ever been able to see the black spore specks after innoc in their jars? I'm a little worried, there are tiny black specks that resemble the spore clumps from the syringe stuck against the inside of the jars in the first half of the jars I innoc'd.... I'm a little worried for obvious reasons but I guess I just don't know this is my first time so...... by the way the jars are 4.5 days old...

I'm doing 3 One-Pint PF-style jars (BRF+verm.). I was extremely cautious in my procedures, following the MMGG as exactly as I could. I took extra precaution by "pre-sterilizing" as directed by an Adaptation on that Tek. Today is day 12, and on Jar 3, I noticed at the top a small black spot(maybe 1cm or so in diameter). Also there is a tiny black spot about the middle of the jar, near the edge of the colonized portion (about 1-2mm diameter). I am worried that this is contamination (I believe it is and will throw away if I must), but it is my first grow, so I am unable to recognize it. Help please!

I had a spore syringe from a non-shroomery sponsor and it had some black specks in it when I innoc'd and the cakes were fine. This particular guy used some sort of suspension for the spores...so if this sounds similar, you might be okay. I have successfully used this syringe many times and made LCs and clones from it with no problem. Very good strain too! If the black sprung up after innoculating and was never there before, I'd worry.
UNGA throw that shit away, that looks dangerous!!!!

Yeah, that's what I figured... Damn it!
Any methods for discreet disposal?

Dig a small hole, cover it about an inch with dirt...check on the patch in a few weeks....you never know.

oh haha I already threw it out. Oh well. I already have 3 more jars that I sterilized last night. I think for these I'll try the Penis Envy instead of Amazon. Cheers!

I had a black spec that looked exactly like yours and I separated it from the other jars because I was scarred of contamination. I keep it in the dark and in the right temperature range and after a few days it was covered in white and the black spot was slowly disappearing.
Flash Forward: I fruited it without a problem and tripped on them a couple days ago and I'm not dead =P.
I would keep them and see what happens

Indeed, the black speck's are from multispore inoculation of jars.
This is why people say to shake your syringe before innoculating to break up the spore cluster's so you don't give yourself a heart attack when you inoculate and notice black stuff :p
but yes, happens to me constently I assure you that they're just spore clusters....now, if you have black mold the entire jar will turn black with maybe a few spots of white myc.... but it's better asking and being safe then not and ending up sick or dead.

Thanks Pro_X ive been waiting to hear that... I was puzzled because the black specks (which look exactly like the shit in the syringe) do not appear to be spreading as of right now and the myc growth around them is very strong, at least 2x that of areas in jars without the specks.... I still have them quarantined in bags so I will keep everyone posted on how they do

Well, FAWK. I already threw it out, but I figured better safe than sorry. If it happens again, God forbid, I will do as you guys say and isolate it to see what happens. I already sterilized 3 new jars (for a total of 5). We'll see what happens. Thanks everybody for your input! It is much appreciated.
