Contamination have to start over, got some questions...
    #6770146 - 04/10/07 12:56 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

1st grow, All casings were contaminated by green mold the casing mix was not fully sterilized :confused: But with a backup jar remaining, trying the pf tek sounds good, to start smaller and work up.

I have a colonized wbs pint jar of z.

1. Is there any way to do a g2g to a pf jar?

2. I was thinking about doing the mycelium inoculation tek, is this a good idea for my situation?

Which wasn't the cause. Sterilizing casing mix will actually cause it to contaminate faster. I'd imagine your spawn was contaminated, so I'd be leary of using anything from that batch for grain to grain transfer.

Pasteurize casing mix / bulk substrate. Try again, and you'll be back 'on the horse' in no time.

Because some bacterias present in the casing mix will slow down foreign contaminants. The point of pasteurasition is to get the population of microorganisms down to a ''safe'' level while not killing it completely.

because when you dont sterilize it, it has bacteria that fights off contamination.if you sterilize it, it will kill the bacteria so nothing is fighting off contamination.at least this is what it states in mc

the jar is not contaminated, solid white. The spawn I used was not contaminated and colinized great. It wasnt until the casing layer that contams took over.
