sometimes mycelium exudes a yellowish liquid metabolite that collects as droplets around the myceliated kernels of grain. as the culture ages and the kernels are digested, more metabolic wastes are secreted. although this secretion is mostly composed of alcohols (ethanol and acetone), in times acids are produced that cause the lowering of the substrate's pH. these waste products are favorable to the propagation of bacteria that thrive in aqueous environments. small amounts of this fluid do not endanger the culture; excessive waste fluids (where the culture takes on a yellowish hue) are definitely detrimental. if this fluid collects in quantities, the mycelium sickens and eventually dies in its own waste.

Even though you can't expect to defeat the absurdity of the world, you must make that attempt. That's morality, that's religion. That's art. That's life.'' - Phil Ochs ideas are the real things; what we see in the world of experience are only their shadows.

I have read the exact opposite, the metabolic liquid is good for fighting off contams.
Quote from RR.
Antibiotic drugs such as penicillin are, and have been made from fungal metabolites for over fifty years. It is not a theory. I have used a syringe to draw metabolite from a grain jar and placed it on bacteria in a petri dish. It kills the bacteria dead within hours. RR
