I'm having issues with the neon green contam rather than the lime green contam, does the MGP plus also prevent that contam as well? Is JTT effective at spot treating that too?

So Iβm new to cultivating mushrooms. Iβm starting on rye, and so far Iβve started some jars with king oyster and lions mane liquid cultures, sterilizing the grain in a PC, injecting red hot needle, alcohol wipe, self healing port, in a SAB.
Iβve had some issues with the spawn starting strong but then stalling out - getting white throughout but not quite reaching the look of a 100% white rubbery block like Iβve seen people post.
I have noticed that the grain smells a little bit sweet (after sending to bulk and sniffing the jar). It smells a lot like Koji riceβ¦which I was using a couple months ago to make miso in my house.
Are my jars infected with Koji?? Has this happened to anyone? Iβve read that bacterial infections can smell sweet, but can anyone with Koji experience tell me if the smell is similar?
Lastly, is the bacteria that grow on these grains harmful? Should I avoid sniffing it?
Hey guys
I've been unwell for a few months. Came into hospital last week with a suspected chest infection. Turns out my ABPA marker for aspergilus is through the roof. it's not like there is visible mould anywhere in my flat or anything rather my lungs are hyper sensitive to it. Below are the measures I am taking in my day to day to limit my aspergillus exposure. Anyone know of anything else I could/should be doing?
- Bathroom and kitchen - keeping both well ventilated and cleaning surfaces with an anti mold bleach once per month
- Roof/attic - inspecting for any obvious leaks (dont think there are any)
- Storage: removing any unused fabrics like extra bed sheets as its a perfect place for mold to grow over time
- Carpet - regularly inspecting for any smell/obvious signs of underneath mould
- Not having plants in the house because the mold lives in soil
- Dehumidifers across the house
- HEPA filter in my bedroom
- Trying to limit amount of clothes drying within the house
Im a 37 y f . Ive been having burning and soreness vaginally and around my urethra for months. Nothing shiws on my genital culture but lactobacilli. I had ureaplasma and treated it. I ordered a juno vaginal biome test and the swab found aspergillus mold fungi. Has anyone experienced a aspergillus yeast like infection? Apparently they happen but are not common.
I tried slowly to scoop him up and he just ran and ran I even put a small transport box inside of it he's scared of it too.. what can I do try to lure him into the box by leaving it there? I don't want him to get sick and die I need to clean his cage!
Only been able to find one source in Europe. Hoping I could find one here in the US.
Hi,
I'm doing microbiology as a hobby and I'd like to create a small "collection" of common Aspergillus species but so far I'm not sure how I could identify and confirm what specie it specificaly is. I can use microscope but that isn't always reliable and could mess up my results. Are there any other way to do this in a hobby lab? Also, could you recommend me some sort of morphological identification atlas?
Thanks everyone.
Did anyone prepared Bread-Koji? I am wondering how the bread needs to be prepared to provide the correct moisture and texture to allow enough air to reach the fungus.
Which of those are best to detect exposure to this mold? (After 3-4 weeks exposure)
