Spores or Contamination?
    #10105374 - 04/04/09 01:40 PM (15 years, 9 months ago)

This is my first attempt at growing. When I first saw this I was about to throw the cake and terrarium ( I was planning on getting a bigger one anyways) but after digging throw the forum figured it might be spores. There is a definite purple tinge to the stuff, which someone mentioned would most likely be spores.



Either way, can I eat it?

Thanks

They are spores. Next time your cakes fruit try to pick them before they open up as much as they did this time. I usually pick right as the veil is starting to break off. Should be safe to eat.

Yup, those are spores, which are safe. Cube spores are often dark purpleish in color.

you can rinse them to clean some of the spores off if you want

Thanks so much, espically for how quick that was. Yeah, next time I'll harvest way earlier but I was out of the house for a couple of days. After harvesting and washing off the cake, do you know how long will I have to wait for another batch?

Not long, pins should form within the week, then ripen within another week.
