i checked my bird seed jars after being away for a week and a half, 3 weeks after inoculation, very little growth. and one jar was totally green with mold, and when i dumped it out the mold turned into a powdery green cloud and flew everywhere. i was shocked. is this a normal occurrence? i had never seen anything like it.

Yes, you just released billions upon billions of spores into your house. When things get like that pitch the whole damn jar don't open it.

Does anyone try to reuse jars that have been contaminated really bad with green mold? I for one don't. I don't even mess with it. I had a grain bag go bad once I did cut open a small hole on the opposite side of the contam to spoon out a bit of myc. But on the whole I have been trashing the whole whatever when I see trich.

depends on how nasty it looks
if it looks rotten and gunky i usually just say fuck it and lose a jar
but if it's not bad i just dump the contents and bleach/peroxide the hell out of it aswell as avoid it for quite awhile

I've had that experience. Not in my mycology, but during my days working at a bottle exchange. I was so damn pissed at that mold cloud.

I don't get too many infected jars any more, but honestly, I dump out trich infested WBS jars in my kitchen trash. Before I dump them I spray them down with Lysol. Doing so serves two purposes.... first, wetting the spores helps to keep the spores from dispersing into the air while I'm dumping them out. Second, of course, is the obvious fact that Lysol is the destroyer of all things fungi...
I know that hoping that the Lysol will kill even half the spores in the jar is probably naive, but as long as they're in the trash and not in the air, it's not a huge deal to me.

people tend to forget that anything heavier than air will eventually settle
if you just clean all the associated surfaces, then you should be alright
i mean it's not like airborne contaminants have wings to fly into your projects XD
