Contaminated spawn bag - Can I Re-steralize??
    #8130176 - 03/11/08 12:24 AM (16 years, 10 months ago)

I recently got a Wood sawdust spawn bag with grain from everything mushrooms. I injected it with Ps Cyan spores but I think it came contaminated cause It has green mold in it I just noticed. I only injected it a couple days ago. I don't know if they would replace it but If not can I re-sterilize it in my Pressure cooker? I realize I'd have to re inoculate it but I'd rather do that than loose out all together.

I have more empty filtered spawn bags from another shroomery sponsor so I could even take the sawdust substrate out and re bag that and just toss the contaminated rye berry's cause I also have more rye berry's then re-sterilize the Sawdust. Could I re sterilize both? That would be the best option without a replacement.

I'd hope to at least save the saw dust substrate and re PC it. I have more Rye berry and WBS. Hopefully the vendor will replace it but I doubt it since I already injected it.

It's only a small patch in the corner of the rye berry that the green mold has started. ity hasn't spread through the sawdust or the rest of the rye berry yet.

I just read their FAQ snd they have a "Cleanliness Guarantee" for 30 days after purchase. It says If it shows contam before 30 days they will replace. So I think I will call tomorrow. I hope they will replace.

I'm sure they will replace it, but regardless, don't try to re-sterilize a contaminated spawn bag. At least some of the contaminant spores are likely to survive. In addition, part of the food has already been eaten by the mold. Start over.

I just got an e-mail reply from the vendor. They are gonna send a replacement right out. I was thinking when I receive the replacement should I re pressure cook it to make 100% sure that it is completely sterile before I inoculate it?

The spawn bag has Rye Berry and Saw Dust substrate. I'm not to sure how to go about sterilizing a spawn bag in the PC. I'm gonna toss the old spawn bag out. I'm glad only used 2 CC's Of ps Cyan spores. I'm thinking about making some more spawn bags out of some WBS I just got from Pet smart but I'm not sure where to get the Sawdust. I'll probably just start with the 1 bag since I'm gonna have to fruit in the fridge and space will be an issue.
