Put my colonized brown rice jar into CVG substrate about 2-2.5 weeks ago. It was fairly quick to colonize the CVG because I might’ve messed up the CVG amount and didn’t put in enough.
Anyways, what could have happened and is this over? It’s humid season here so I don’t think it’s a moisture problem and I kept the lid on upside down for passive FAE the whole time.
Made and inoculated the agar probably a month ago. Had set it aside because I thought it was contaminated, but I just checked after being away for two weeks and there are little mushrooms growing?? It’s so cool!
It feels wasteful to just toss or to put in the fridge, how/what can I do to get the fruiting bodies from here? Should I add it when I do colonization to coco coir with my successful inoculated jar?
Pretty sure I have some sort of contam?
Inoculated 4 jars (the rest caught trich) ~3 weeks ago but this one is the only one with no green. However, there was some questionable white growth that was a little away from the mycelium growth last I had looked at it. I can’t tell if I’m just bugging out but it looks like it has a slight red/gray tint to it?
Also the mycelium part is so thick? Is that a reaction to contamination?
