This only seems to happen when i do PR's.. no other strain has given me this trouble.
anyways.. incubation is said to be exactly 81 degree's. WBS spawned to coir/wormcastings/gypsum/verm.
pasteurized for 2 hours kept at 160ish + - a couple degrees.
been 15 days in incubation. checked once at 5 days, then left alone for 10 days and this is what i find..
 as you can see.. i got some metabolites, and it looks like something else..
 here's a close up of the metabolites. at least i hope they are.
and in the first pic.. in the center all the way to the right.. there is a spot that doesnt seem so healthy...
here is a close up of that..

anybody got any ideas of what this is? how it can be prevented?
i made the substrate a little more on the wet side, since my last one seemed a little try.. this one had tons of water drops all over it, and water was actually pooling in a lot of the spots.. i drained off 1/4 cup of water off the surface.
its in a medium sized cat litter pan. covered with suran wrap with about 10 holes the size of dimes and covered with micropore tape. sterile procedure to the T.
Edit:
here is another picture.

metabolites are no problem, and that my friend looks very red as far as the metabolites i have seen, that looks more like lipstick mold,(it might just be the glare) in the last pic i think i see green aswell. both these molds are white before they release spores.

I see a deep amber in RR's pic also it looks like a concentrated drop, and pretty much red(spread out) in yours. I hope im wrong,i guess wait and find out...

yah.. well i'll tell ya what.. most of the water was pooling on those two spots.. everywhere else is white and ready to go. in eye's view, that "green"spot comes off as more of a LIGHT LIGHT LIGHT yellow. pictures never do justice.
i tried the ol' qtip, nothing rubbed off, no green coming off.. cotton part turned yellowish due to absorbing the water on top.
there is no bad smell either. thats why im asking..
it smells like a mixture of coir and mushrooms.
