first go with a little greenish tinge
    #7507007 - 10/10/07 08:45 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

ok, i inoculated several jars, and it has been a little over a week.
most are showing some growth, ranging from a little to alot. a few are showing nada, zipo zip.
i have 2 holes in each, made with a push pin. i may have to make the holes bigger. i put my half pint jars in my incubator, placed in 6 pack beer cartons. the temp is 85 +/- 2 degrees. and the jars have been flipped
i have seen contamination in one, , isolated it, and am watching it to see how bad it.
what % should it be at, and is it safe to keep the contaminated jar in the incubator?

When in doubt toss it out.

If it doesn't look like myc then you can not make it be myc. Wishful thinking does not work with mushies.

Just because you WANT it to be myc, doesn't make it BE myc.

drop your temperature to 80F, 85 is too high. This can encourage contams, however lower temperatures while not stop contams.

Mycelium will produce its own heat so expect the temp inside to be a few degrees higher.

Its hard to tell if the spot is a contam without a picture, get a marker and draw around the suspect area, if it gets any bigger then u will know for sure its a contam. A nice clear picture would be good.
