Five or six attempts at PF now and most attempts have been contaminated by green mould. I've had most contamination in the jar. IE after a couple of weeks, the jar gets green shit growing in there and killing the white mycelium, but I've had a couple of fruiting sucesses where I might even get a couple of mushrooms but then the dreaded green shit moves in and destroys everything, including my enthusiasm.
I live in a tropical area, North Queensland, Australia. There is a lot of mould and mildew here naturally, so I'm thinking I need to take extra precautions.
When I innoculate, should I put a filter over the top of the jar, so that it can still breathe but mould etc can't get in.
When I fruit in the fruiting chamber, how about I filter the air that I pump in there, EG by filtering the air I pump in there by wrapping the fish tank pump in a filter of some sort?
Anybody else live in tropic environs?
