I dunno what it is,
but thats some nasty stuff,
for a second it looked like verm, potting soil,
and a small amount of mycel and corn.

But I know that ain't the case,
I'm not trying to be an ass but did you sterilize anything at all?

what was your steps?

looks like it might be bacteria,
is it pretty watery in there?

It looks like you have to much moisture in there.. ? What is the recipe you used and do you have a higher resolution picture?

It is popcorn with 1/4 cup ver. My friend has used the same recipe many times. It has been a few years, but like riding a bike. He puts popcorn in pressure cooker, adds water til double over popcorn, pressure cookes it for bout 60 min's, strains washes all sticky stuff off, puts on towl for a few til the surface water is gone, loads 3/4 jar sometimes with 1/4 cup verm., puts tyvek lids, foil on top, back in cooker for 60, out of cooker, cool over nite, shoot the next day. And away they go to stay warm from 84-86.
Tell me what ya think guys is he still on the right track....

You could incubate a little cooler. Some incubate at room temps. If there is a small contam, the warmer temps may give it the edge. Shoot for lower 80s.

As far as the contams you do have goes, sometimes its just the luck of the draw.
