5* for being a huge help

Dude is willing to help and hold a hand of a clueless stranger on the internet, for no benefit to himself. I think there is a lot to be said about that.
Thank you dude!

True, that's reassuring.  If you don't mind me asking, how do you usually get rid of contams?




That's a broad question with a lot of answers and variables.
Basically from the start...spores aren't sterile that you buy.
It's just in their nature from being grown in open air.

So if you inject them into brf jars for cakes or onto grains
it's always going to be a dice roll on contamination.

That's where agar comes in. The spores can be germinated on
agar and you can identify the clean mycelium easily and cut
a tiny piece of it and transfer it to another agar plate to
see if it grows clean then...and over and over until perfect.

Agar cuttings can then be tossed into grains, and grown clean.
Grain jars have to have good lid setups like the polyfill lids
people make or my personal favorite, synthetic filter disks.

All of this stuff takes practice, there's even a little more art
to it than just skill in a way. You have to have the right tools.
Still air boxs(SAB) are ok but aren't perfect and can still have
a small dice roll for contamination. Flowhoods are expensive but
are almost practically perfect to work in front of.

Look through the Everything you need to know link 👇
I personally wouldn't even bother with cakes but they're
cheap and easy to make and try but they use spore solution
so they contaminate a lot. But if one cake grows a fruit
it can be cloned to agar with a piece of sterile flesh
from the center of a stem to make a clean culture.

Reading, studying, practice, the right tools = no contams
Or I misunderstood the question and then the answer is yeah..throw them out
