Fanning + Contamination?
    #7533187 - 10/18/07 09:20 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

When you fan, do you spray the surrounding area with aerosol as to avoid getting air borne contaminants into the terrarium? Is this even a worry? Or could the aerosol be more harmful to the cakes than the contaminants themselves?

As long as you make sure your cakes are 150% colonized, they are fairly resistant to contamination. Don't spray the air, it's quite possible what you are using will do more harm than good to the mycelium.

Right, once the mycelium is fully colonized, it's very resistant to contams. If you wanted to be safe, you could still use aerosol. Just wait 5-10 minutes after spraying a little, then fan. That should be long enough for it to clear and be safe. If you want to be as sterile as you can, then that's the way you do things :smile:

There is no reason to be sterile. Just be clean. Fruiting chambers are not sterile and don't need to be. The more fanning, the less contamination you'll have, spraying the air first or not.
