blue and black shit. pictures!
    #9465092 - 12/20/08 12:03 AM (15 years, 3 months ago)

Alright, this is how it goes. I purchased a grow bag from the mad season and a syringe of cubenis B+ spores and commenced to inoculate. This occurred in October and it is now December. After the long colonization process, i began to fruit my beloved babies. Excitedly checking up on process, i came upon an odd looking blue color at the base of most pins and all mushies growing. I read the blue shit is the activation of chemicals, but there is also some black looking stuff on the inside of one of the caps; it has a long opening in the stem. It looks like the inside of the mushroom, but why the hell would it be growing open like that? Take a look!

Both pictures are of the cap that is opened. It is growing up the side of the cake touching the plastic of the bag.
Another thing is the cake actually colonized on the plastic of the bag, and is now producing mushrooms straight off the plastic. I cant imagine the caps will grow well in these conditions. Should they be left alone until they reach full maturation, or will they be restricted in the amount they will grow, die, rot, and continamate the cake (worst case haha.) Any advice would be much much appreciated!

They smell like old grape juice by the way.

Take the plastic off and fruit in a FC.  Remove those old pins, they are open invitations for contamination.

I would prefer to toss, but it may be all right check for any obvious rotting if there is then discard or try, beware a bad trip :hehehe:

I took the cake out of the bag and placed it in a fruiting chamber as instructed. As the cake was removed from the bag, i pulled off the rotting mushrooms. take a look!

The rotting places feel no different then the other pins i pulled off. Is this rot or should i worry at all? If it is rot, can i toss the rotted ones and dry the rest for future ingestion? I want this to work so bad. My first time was a fail, so if this cake doesn't work I'm going to HAVE to try again. I am really interested in trying these things :laugh:

I would rather discard all the black looking ones than get desperate and eat them.  I am sure that the block will fruit fine just give it some time.
