After 2 months the mycelium “won” the battle and consumed all the bacteria and started invitro pinning. Sadly, it did not fruit. Maybe the infection left it too weak? Anyone have a similar instance in their grows?
Once you have any kind of infection like that, you should dispose of the contents (ideally ditch the whole jar or at least empty the jar into the trash outside so you’re not spreading the bacteria around your space and contaminating other grows). Even if you managed to get it to fruit, who knows what gross toxic yuck that rando bacteria is bringing to the party? Don’t risk your health, just make a new clean jar.
Oh I’m well aware. I was moving out of that apartment so I figured I’d let it grow to see what happens.
It started fruiting in vitro so I spread it to coco coir and it colonized and hyphal knots started forming but it never fruited.
Wore a gas mask and rubber kitchen gloves and a trash bag and emptied the contents in the condo dumpster. Got a few weird looks haha.
Good to hear that you didn’t try to ingest that goo. I figured it’s good to make sure it’s clear just in case there are noobs lurking who are looking for any validation to save their contaminated grow :)
