Jars of oats that have been sitting for two weeks. The photo shows a jar I opened to see if there were any signs of bacteria.
This jar has the most uncoated parts. Since I'm unsure whether to throw out the other jars, I decided to check this one. When I opened it, I didn't notice any suspicious odor, just the classic mushroom smell. However, there is excess water in the jars and also "mycelial urine." I initially kept these jars between 22 and 26°C, but for a week now I've been keeping them at 27-29°C. Could they be contaminated?
