Strange mutant, possible contam, please help
    #12011219 - 02/11/10 06:46 PM (14 years, 11 months ago)






This is a casing of 5 crumbled cakes with 50/50 peat moss/verm.
The mutant started out as thick veins of myc with a golden gray color (like the color of most stems) that then combined and attempted to form caps until it became what you see here. I'm concerned that there is a bacterial contamination. Also, as you can see there the largest one formed a hole on the top, which is what makes me suspect it is bacterial.
Is it and/or the mutant safe to eat (or use for tea)?
Should I remove them immediately?
Is the casing doomed?
etc...

"In research done in the late 1960s, Roland Fischer gave small amounts of psilocybin to graduate students and then measured their ability to detect the moment when previously parallel lines became skewed. He found that performance ability on this particular task was actually improved after small doses of psilocybin. When I discussed these findings with Fischer, he smiled after explaining his conclusions, then summed up, 'You see what is conclusively proven here is that under certain circumstances one is actually better informed concerning the real world if one has taken a drug than if one has not.'"

That's a crazy looking mutant but I don't think you have anything to worry about. Sometimes you just get mutants and there's not much of a reason for it, try to keep lysol spray away from your grow as much as possible. I still get some weird mutants occasionally though there's not a whole lot you can do about it.

Love the "yawning hippo" mushroom.  Someone should submit that for picture of the month.  But not me, I'm lazy.

Not contaminated, but definitely cool.

Sometimes freak mushrooms occur because of genetic anomalies, physical damage to primordia (common if primordia form in the jars, then are crumbled and cased), contaminations, a multitude of environmental causes, or combinations of these. All your other mushrooms on that casing look beautiful and healthy, if not a little deformed here and there. I'd blame this one on genetics, let them keep growing and use as desired. To me the fat, deformed, strange mushrooms have much more character and seem to give me the best effects. :crazy2:
