WBS turning blue?
    #7828584 - 01/03/08 06:09 PM (16 years, 29 days ago)

i have 8 WBS pint jars and two of them are colonizing nice but i noticed that they are like a blue color and not as white as they probably should be. they are the stargazer strain, at least thats what the name the vendor gave them to me said and NO i did not get ripped off i paid 9.95 for them plus free shipping. SO any help as why my jars are turning blue would help me out a lot!

post some pics!!
What color do psilocybe mushrooms turn when bruised? I assume that is what you are growing?
What are the mushrooms made of?
WOuld you think that this stuff would react teh same to bruising as the fruitbodies?

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

Colonizing mycelium, even in psilocybe species does not normally blue until after full colonization. Post pictures for any help.

Yes is the answer i believe it says the stargazer strain in my first post( i know there's loads of confusion and debate about this BUT for me the spores where cheap and i wanted to experiment)
When i first saw this i thought that it might just be the bruising effect that psilocybin mushrooms have but i wanted to be sure of it since Ive been experiencing some of this same color type of contam before, so i sterilized the room again and set it all up again plus i used both tyvek and micropore tape!-not a pain cause i love to clean and get shit together,but time consuming.
so tell me what you think of the pics if i got a contam or its ok and its just the bruising of the myc.

alright thanks a bunch, so much for the star gazers i guess unless my other 6 wbs go good as well with my cakes. I must have a serious problem with this type of mold in this room because all my stuff lately is getting contaminated with it even when i use Lysol, tyvek, and micro-pore tape! i am going to have to sterilize that damn room again!

If you don't already have a glove box, I highly suggest it. Or even a still air box, it makes a world of difference. Every time I open air innoced, It was contaminated.

I think it could be Penicillium spp. And I just made a sill air box out of a cardboard box, modified with saran wrap. clean up the inside and wait for everything to settle. Oh, word of the wise though. If you use alcohol inside of it, don't flame the needle inside the box!

sounds easy enough! ill use Lysol,and i got these alco wipes that ill use as well. that what i narrowed the bacteria down to, i believe its my brown rice and wbs being in the same room and Ive had that BRF four a long time maybe around 4 or 5 months now

Since the blue is covering the whole jar of grains, I'd suspect one of the species of Penicillium. Trich will normally ony be in one or two places. However, whatever type of mold it is, it's bad. Toss it.

Penicillium spores are tiny and seem to get past jar filters. I know when I was doing some isolates of wild mushrooms away from penicillium, I lost a LOT of colonizing jars of various species that were simply in the same area where the mold was. They were in quart jars with synthetic filter disks, but still ended up getting the mold anyway. I think key to avoiding this mold is to get rid of it the very second you see it. Don't allow it to sit, even if in a filtered jar. At least some of the spores are bound to escape and screw up your other projects, just like they did mine.

how would i make sure that this doesnt happen? like eliminate the spores in the air and everything? i use Lysol spray i know thats suppose to kill 99.9% of germs

Btw another jar i saw pop up with this contam so i chucked it right when i saw it. Im runny out of my stargazers, would grinding th e WBS up and using it as BRF bring on more contams?

Well, I've heard rumors (And others say to the contrary) that Lysol is not very good to use around mushrooms. It has been rumored to cause mutations. I'm not to sure if this is true or not, but, it's better to err on the side of caution.

Yeah, I've heard all kinds of bad news about sporestore. Order from one of the reputable Shroomery sponsors. they pay to be advertised here, which is why they're trusted. A few will even give small discounts or bonus extras if you mention you're from the Shroomery.
