Black Contam or Verm?
    #6569398 - 02/14/07 11:55 PM (17 years, 1 month ago)

On day 6 or so of incubation, checked jars today and I noticed some black flecks. Are these black contam or verm? Thanks!

Uhh, it is difficult to tell from that photo. It doesn't look like vermiculite though. If the black areas grow larger, it is a contamination.

Could it be spores from the syringe? There WAS floaty black things in it. Should seperate the jars?

It could be. Look, if the black area grows, toss the jar. If not, don't worry. I wouldn't worry about seperating the jars right now. You have a verm filter, right?

I'd assume so, I ordered pre sterilized jars that I assumed would have a filter. I hope so as I smoke a bit of herb in the room with the incubation container in the closet.

With 'black mold' (Mucor) the mycelium is white/off white, and the spores appear within the white background. Since yours is not surrounded by mycelium, it looks more like a piece of debris that was in with the verm. Of course, as said above, if it grows toss it, but to my eye it looks ok.
