black dots in monotub
    #8027333 - 02/15/08 01:25 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

so i went to check on my monotub today and see how the colonization process was coming along 4 days after i spawned it and it looks like their are black dots on my grains. i could just be seeing things but what do you guys think? could it just be little specs of substrate from the mixing up process?

here's an overview

Do you have a microscope or jeweler's loop? Black mold looks like little fuzzy black cotton balls on sticks under a microscope.
Try a smear on agar too, if you got mold it will be clear...oh wait, never mind, by the time it grows out on agar your whole tub would be black.
I'd ask you how it smells but if it is mold you don't want a lung full if it.
Good luck

Just keep an eye on it to see if the black spreads before casing. It looks like substrate to me but i could be mistaken.

Can't tell from the pictures, but if it is spread uniformally I would imagine that it is just substrate. However, if it starts spreading, dump that fucker quick.

Good Luck.
