I'd toss it and start over.
Bleach dunks can work, but only for substrate
which has been fully colonized. Sorry for your loss. :(
Contam...treatable via bleach dip? [merged]

I'd toss the jar also. Waylit is correct, its not likely to win on uncolonized substrate. If the cake was colonized you might hold out hope, but you'd be better emptying the jar, cleaning it well, and making a new one.

From experience I'd toss it. I've tried rescuing things like that and they contammed again anyway. If you had agar ou'd be able to clean it up. Only other thing to do is bury it outside and you may still get a flush.

about all you can do there is salvage the already colonized material,
which frankly doesn't even appear to be significant/worthwhile-
the rest is a waste

You think if i scoop out what i got with a sterilized spoon in a GB and place it into a cup filled with moist verm, then top it off with some it could grow a mushie or 2?
What im asking is if i open it and expose it to air, will it survive? Cuz its so small and precious...

Alright, Foaf took a sterlized spoon to it, couldnt just toss it out. Gave it a fighting chance! Foaf just took the centers of the mycelia chunks tossed the rest out. This cute little jar and filled about an inch of it with moist verm, topped it with the crumbles of myc and topped with more moist verm. A water bottle was cut 3/4ths way down and it fit perfectly into the top of the jar. I think i will mist over the neck( not directly in ) to get a tiny amount of liquid in there, lift the bottle out every day to give it a nice amount of fresh air.
Watcha think? Worth a try eh?

Damn Hip, LMFAO......i worry about how far you had to reach to make that analogy?????? I run into this alot in chat, you tell them what they need to do then they start telling you that someone at the shroomery said this and that. I will have to remember that line for sure.

:lol: @ hippie
yeah, you could easily clean that jar out and have a new one started. when you opened it, put the spoon in, the new material, the jar is no longer sterile. The contam is probably going to grow a lot faster and if it isn't isolated from your other stuff, where ever you opened it and spooned that contam too has those contam spores floating freely about so they went right back inside your jar.
I bet it'll be harder for you to get rid of the contam spores than it would have been that one jar.
