Reddish-brown contam?

#724925 - 07/05/02 01:50 PM (21 years, 9 months ago)

A few weeks after I inocculated my first try at BRF cakes, I noticed that wherever the mycelium was growing, it was accompanied by this weird reddish-brown looking stuff. I got my syringes from psylocybe fanaticus and I noticed that there seems to be more brownish stuff on the stropharia jars. Anyone seen a contam like this or is it some sort of rust maybe? If it is contam should I go ahead and try to bleach it or just chuck the jars and start over?

PS-- If I should chuck the jars...someone wanna send me a spore print?

Toss the jars and start over. Try to be more careful with sterilization techniques and make sure you're working in clean areas.

Peace,
