Trichoderma is a very persistent and aggravating contamination for some and a legend whispered in fables to others. For those of you who have yet to contract the mean green, congrats .



Trich can be a bit troublesome to spot in grain jars. It usually starts off as stringy, white mycelium looking or little white dots all along your grain jar. Sometimes those little white dots can be a yeast infection but most contaminations help trich grab a foothold regardless.





Stage One:







Notice the "sweaty" jar look. This is condensation caused by a temperature difference but this much in a jar is usually a bad sign. The blue of the mycelium that may lead one to believe this is simply bruising in the jar after a shake. This generally starts in a small section but spreads rapidly once shaken. I advise anyone who thinks a jar is contaminated but is not sure to wait until a proper time to shake to reveal the contam. If the jar is stalled, shake right then.



S t a g e T w o :







Here you continue to see the "sweaty" jar look. You can clearly see green beginning to develop here. This is what happens when the trichoderma mycelium make contact with fresh air, it sporulates (Releases spores) and turn green.

Yeah I've definitely mistaken trich for cobweb before but this time I just let all three jars develop as they may. The third one actually showed up out of nowhere, I think in one of the shots you can kind of see some of the mycelium.



I think a reason why people may mistake it for cobweb as well is speed. This thing colonized these jars in two or three days, the myc didn't stand a chance.



By the time I'm ready to spawn I've shaken once or twice. If a jar is really sketchy I'll shake it one more time and let it recover. Typically if I don't get 24-36 hour recovery in some form it's a contam. Some strains like PE will take 48-60 and I'll accept that but normally past two days with very little or no recovery is a very bad sign.



All of this trich showed up after a shake, if I had before pictures they all look like healthy cube myc with a spot of grey or two. One jar looked like bruised myc which was my first telltale that I wasn't going to be spawning these guys



Thanks for dropping by Mad,



Great first post in this thread

Would it really be considered mycelium though? I agree, that needs to be changed but what do you call trichoderma's manifestation of mushroom mycelium, or is mycelium a general term?

Alan has said that most trich isn't even trich. but regardless if you see the spores of a rogue mold, it's too fucking late dude.
