is that unusual? referring to the type of growth around the inoculation point.



that black spot looks kind of nasty.





and what's with the mycelium growing down like that in waves? is that mushroom mycelium?

oops, the "black" spot is just not colonized i'm very tired my bad but is it normal to have mycelium growth around the inoculation point in a ring like that?

Theres nothing you can do about those. I recommend Pcing those before you take them outside and open them. Try to stay upwind when opening and emptying those jars out so you don't breath in mold spores and get sick. Do not try and harvest mushrooms from those.
Even those bottom pictures are contaminated from the looks of it. Start over my friend and make sure to sterilize your needle before you knock up each jar. Are you pressure cooking your jars ? For how long ?

steaming for 2 hours. on maximum heat

also all of my brazilian jars have that downward growth if they aren't all fucked up but they should have growth away from each inoculation point, correct?

From what I can see they look contaminated although im no expert on contams. But thats a strange growth did you shake them at any point ? Do you have a dry vermiculite barrier or are you using micropore tape ? Steaming im not familiar with that method of sterilizing. My first time I just boiled my jars for 120 min in a pot with lid weighed down.

no shaking. dry verm layer, masking tape over holes...

they're 45mins into boiling so it doesn't matter now. i'll just start over.

well that's a wrap. They have been disposed of. I'm investing in micropore tape and a glovebox today or before my next batch --- going to steam the jars for 2+ hours minimum on max heat and I'm going to boil water before use in the substrate. It's weird that all of the Brazilians had that same downward ugly growth and those tiny blotches. Should I bring it up with the vendor I got them from?

either way next on the agenda

pick up the micropore tape
construct glovebox
invest in new jars (I don't wanna be bothered cleaning those mostly empty jars)
boil water before use if not use distilled.

Sounds like a plan, best of luck with the next grow. Try spore works or another sponsor of the shroomery if you didn't last time.

I bought from a sponsor, I got a few more syringes + 12 jars growing most of which look healthy.
