Black pins or dots
    #7988239 - 02/06/08 06:52 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

I have these black dots inside of my jars on my mycelium and seemingly just on the glass.

What are these? Is this black pin mold? How do I tell whats going on with these jars? Supposedly sometimes the wbs seeds touch the jars and it looks black also

they look like poppy seeds, and they dont appear to be getting larger.

Also, can jars be reused? Would it be a bad idea to throw the contents in the trash and dunk the jars in bleach? Or could I re-sterilize the jar, killing the contents and then pitch its in contents?

theyre like black dots, but its not as widespread as black pin appears to be...

although this could be happening because the substrate is already colonized and I'm guessing on the last uncolonized bits black pin mold could have possibly formed but it certainly looks more sporatic then that black pin mold appears.

I was wondering is it the spores that are damaging or the toxic chemicals. Because spores would be destroyed by bleach but im not sure if that would take care of the toxins if theyre are any

I'm noticing these small blach spheres are about the size of poppy seeds

Trash them. You don't need bleach. Sterilize the contaminated jars in a pot of boiling water for an hour before opening to dump the crap out. Wash the jars with soap and water and they're fine to re-use. Remember, you're going to sterilize after you load fresh substrate. Mold spores are killed by temperatures far below boiling, so you're safe.
