poo contaminating

My last 2 bins have contaminated in spots with uncolonized hpoo.Ive never had this problem b4.Now the only thing I can figure is Ive been getting my poo from a different guy.also ive been getting it from stalls.So it has a small amount of wood chips.Another thing,I pastuerize for an hour,It usualy reaches about 180 or 190 b4 temp starts going down,so it should kill everything but I have a sprout groing out of one of those contaminated casings.the rest of the casing colonizes real fast in about 2 1/2 weeks. (its a 15 quart bin) Also im using 2 quarts of spawn to 6 quarts of poo.

Manure is not a casing material. It's a bulk substrate. Is your casing or your bulk substrate contaminating? There's a major difference.
In addition, you don't pasteurize for an hour total. You maintain a temperature of 140F to 160F in the center of the material for one hour. The whole process usually takes two hours or more.
What was your casing material and how did you pasteurize it? Obviously if seeds are sprouting, it wasn't properly pasteurized or the seeds would have been killed off along with the mold spores. RR
