yellow liquid in rye jars--contams?
    #7186109 - 07/17/07 12:23 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

First time grower here--I had a two year old syringe, a bunch of rye, jars and a PC from when I first thought about growing, and I knocked them up a la Magash's rye technique. I probably should have cased a couple weeks ago, but I needed some materials and have a lot else going on.

Now, all my jars have some yellow liquid in them, which here and there has left yellow spots on the myc. Are these contams or just built up myc piss? It's hard to see the coloration in my pics, but basically the myc is pulled away from the sides and is sweating yellow, and in one jar it's even pooled in the bottom. Is this a deal-breaker, or should I go ahead and case and see what happens w/ the fruit?

You should refer to it as mushroom metabolites, not "myc piss".

I have seen this occur with some rye jars my friend did...  His had been sitting around a good long while and looked frightening.  Yours do not look too bad, but it is difficult to tell with the lighting in the photos.

What I would recommend is that you open one of the jars, and don't go sticking your nose in it, but tentatively smell the contents- just kinda give it a moment for the air to waft up (it's not healthy to snort up air from contaminated jars), if it smells sour or sorta sweet, like nasty garbage, toss them out.  That would be a sure sign of bacterial contamination.  However, if the contents smell decidedly "mushroomy", then I would close the jar back up and get your materials ready to case- it is, in that case, just mushroom metabolites.

I would not normally suggest opening jars until you are ready to work with them, however, they are fully colonized, and it is only going to take a moment to tell what it smells like, before continuing to casing or the trash.  :wink:
