Arrggh! 1st contams ever! Bloody haloween, quick help needed!
    #6229687 - 10/31/06 03:10 AM (17 years, 3 months ago)

1 jar which is 95% done has suddenly sprouted some green mold at the top where the myc meets the verm barrier. What do I do? Can I wait until the little uncolonised spot (right at the bottom, miles away from the green) is done then remove the cake from the jar and cut the mold off with a scalpel, or do I have to chuck it? Help a n00b out!

Not recommended, greenmold has already infested that cake, you could try cutting out the infected area but there are still going to be mold spores present no matter what you do, unfortently.

You don't want to spawn it to a 100% healthy cake either, you'll get maybe 1 or two flushes from it when cased, after that the mycellium will weaken and the greenmold will take over..... Sorry about your luck, try again :smile:

I cut the mean green off or a casing and the rest of it was fine but than again the green was contained to just a corner and I threw away half the casing just to be on the safe side,With a cake I wold think that it would be hard to salvage anything

Throw it away dude.
Contams can only be fought off to the extent of retaining the genetic information, not the established culture.

If you have no more spores, go for a clone with some of the not yet contam'd myc, otherwise dump er.

I would say to try making an LC of the mycelium you have but make a few cause I'm sure some of those will get the contamination as well

I chucked it. Quite an education. Although the green appeared only a little at the top, when I cut the cake open to inspect it it had colonised down into the centre of the cake, anywhere the myc hadnt.
