unidentified mushroom on my cake
    #10074263 - 03/30/09 02:35 PM (15 years, 9 months ago)

I went in to mist this morning and found a mushroom growing on a cake that isnt a psilocybe.


I know the pics suck but it has a pink tint to it and has pretty well developed gills on the underside. It's also growing downward.
The cake was inoculated with India Orisso. Just curious if these are bad or if the cake can be carved up to try and see if something else might still grow.

Yeah, I think those are oyster mushrooms.  Looks like you got the wrong spores bro.  Where did you get them?

I got them from hawkseye. Shit, I still have one more cake in the fc that was inoculated with these and 2 rye jars that are ready to go. If I end up with a bunch of oysters thats going to drive me crazy. What are the chances that some random oyster spores settled on my cake and grew? Are they native to the pnw?

I've had some "mutant" cubies grow before. Not all mushrooms are perfect specimens, some of them just look really fucked-up for some reason. Case in point:


Yours do look a bit weirder though, I'd wait for some more opinions.

They do have a very oyster quality to them, but I haven't grown any that looked quite like that.

Perhaps you should have posted it in the mushroom hunting section and asked for an ID? Might be better to let them grow out a little too (assuming you're not worried about them) so you can see how they form more clearly.

Quite bad advice. Especially in the area that I live in... eat the wrong mushroom, even just one cap, and we won't see you posting here ever again.

What are the chances that these can contaminate the cakes in the fc. Does anyone know if oyster myc grows the same as cubes? Because the myc in all of these grew the same as my cubes.

Almost all mushroom myc looks the same unless you've seen it MANY times. So you could very well have oyster myc in there.

Also, if it is just oysters, you won't have contams. Since it looks like mushroom fruit bodies, I would say there is a good chance it is not a contaminate at all (unless like speculated some other mushroom spores got in during inoculation)

The Oyster Mushroom is widespread in temperate and subtropical forests throughout the world.

Oyster mushrooms are native to the PNW, and my best oyster culture came from the cascades.

However, those don't really look like oysters either, even though they seem to be that shape. Oysters usually pin in clusters and then flatten out later.  I don't know wtf they are, but they're not cubes unless they're some weird mutant shape I've never seen.  I wouldn't eat them.

To the OP, I guess that means it's time for you to step up to the level of Pro Mycologist and actually put some spores under the microscope! Maybe then you can get some more information. (I know, I know, we're all already spending all day looking at spores under the microscope... :yesnod:)

I'm going to try to continue the growth to see how it turns out. I'll just take it out of the fc and put it on a rack in the martha and post more pics later. Thanks everyone.

It's really strange, because I have just been on the Hawkseye website and they don't seem to sell edible mushroom spores, and they don't sell anything that looks like that.  You didn't mix them up yourself did you?  Whatever they are, it is probably wise not to eat them if you can't properly identify them.
