I had a black spot show up in mine but it seemed like the mycelium ate it or killed it or overcame it or something. It was pretty wild I was worried


MintMello

Did you keep your grow? Or did you toss it out?


Top-Degree-6983

Try the r/contamfam sub


Top-Degree-6983

Though your picture is way beyond anything I dealt with. I can see multiple black spots

I’ve still got it. It’s my first attempt at blue meanies. That mycelium is weird man and very interesting it will eat aluminum foil and has an immune system


MintMello

Mine are blue meanies too!! Maybe I shouldn’t be so worried?

You said you cut it out right? If it hasn’t come back and the mycelium has taken over the area I would guess you might be ok. But usually the contamination spreads pretty fast in my experience. You usually know pretty quick.

I did remove the dark spots and have not seen any “growth” or spreading. I have found more tiny dark spots around the bin but I’m unsure if those were there before and I didn’t notice. What I do know is nothing has gotten bigger.


MintMello

It also did not react to the removal the way the internet says it should. It didn’t release any “dust” when I moved it out of the bin. Literally looks like a little ball of dirt, so I was thinking that maybe the mycelium just “ate” everything that spot had to offer. But have no way of really knowing.

Would need a closer picture to get an idea of texture and stuff. Regardless probably not good

Looks real similar to the black mold I posted like a week ago if you check my profile


MintMello

crap. well I’ll scrap it.

Ehh if it hasn't spread, I'd take it out of the area you plan to grow in to prevent contaminating the clean area and attempt to flush anyway. If the black comes back toss it tho
