Spots in jars after sterilization?
    #8698928 - 07/29/08 06:49 PM (16 years, 5 months ago)

Hi all, just a quick question... this is my fourth time growing and I have pretty much got a process down that I like. I did everything the same as usual, same mix of organic rice flour, vermiculite and distilled water (the city water where I live is really icky). I sterilized the jars for 40 mins in a standard home pressure cooker, the same process I have used before. When I removed the jars I noticed dark brown spots on the inside of my jars, about 3 visible in each jar. What could this be? Is it a problem? Should I ditch the substrate and start over before inoculating? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Welcome to The Shroomery.
If you can post some pix of the spots in question it would help out greatly. We love pix here at The Shroomery.

I have had spots Like what you are describing(I think. Without pix it's really hard to say for sure) and I think that it is just some verm or rice that has a different color when heated.

I would, however, steam for a minimum of 60min and preferably 90 mins.

Lick I said pix would be soooo much better.

Roban,

Duh on me! This is 2008, I have a badass digi camera and didn't even think 2 put up any pics... here you go.. here is the best pic I could get of the spots. Thanks for the advice about the steaming. I've always had a contamination rate of about 20-25% I bet I have not been leaving them in long enough. Live and Learn, eh?

If you can upload those to your gallery you can put them into the post. I'm not able to open that type of file.

Thanks The! IMO that is just one of the substances in the verm that just got darker from heat and moisture. I don't think you have anything to worry about. I have had some spots like that.

Hope that makes you feel better about it.
