Throw Them Out or Wait And See?
    #8060023 - 02/23/08 11:43 AM (15 years, 11 months ago)

i inoculated 48 jars about 2 weeks ago. and most of the jars are starting to colonize. while some of the jars have the normal looking white mycelium, but some jars have a light brown something growing. it's just a little bit lighter than the substraight. some jars have this brown stuff exclusively while others have a mix of both. so does that just mean their contaminated and should be sterilized and then emptied?

If anything is growing other than white mycelium it's a contamination. Toss them. If you have the most part of 48 jars colonized why risk cross contamination?

When I inoculated my jar, I noticed a growth similar to your 2nd picture on one side of my jar, it was kind of a grayish color which I thought was contamination, but over the next couple of days it eventually grew a bit thicker and whiter and turned out to be mycelium. I would seperate it from the rest and see what happens over the next couple of days.
