household remedies:

■Sticky Traps: You can purchase yellow sticky cards for houseplants with the purpose of indoor insect control, these will work with fungus gnats. The idea is that the color yellow will attract the gnats and when they come to investigate, they get stuck or trapped by the sticky substance on the card. Look for these in home and garden centers or greenhouse supply stores. If you’d like to try making your own, cover bright yellow index cards with Vaseline or Honey. Tape the card to a straw or chopstick and stick into the soil of the potted plant that has the gnat problem.

■Gnat Killer Soap Spray Recipe: Mix 2 tablespoons Ivory liquid soap or lemon dish detergent with 1 gallon of water, use this mixture to water the plant and drench the soil that is hosting the gnats. After about an hour, lightly spray the plant leaves with clear water to rinse the soap off.

That's all I could come up with for household remedies that would be the least harmful to fungus.

For store bought stuff, just search google for organic gnat killer. You'll get tons of results. Then just pick one you think is good and go to the store and buy it.

The search engine here will reveal many cures and should be used first.  Best is to get a bottle of cheap red wine, drink all but the last inch in the bottom of the bottle, and then set it in the area.  The gnats will fly into the bottle and be trapped and drown.

This method will cure many other ailments as well. Such as breaking up with a girlfriend, managing the negative emotions of dealing with trich, having a low paying shitty job and will even serve to make fairly shitty music sound better. :thumbup:

Hang a zapper thing in the room before you start your next grow. I think it might be called a zap shot. It comes in a blue package and cost about 5-7 bucks. I had super gnats that survived the winter and I still haven't seen any since I hung it up.

Mushrooms take up whatever they are grown on...Just becase it's OG, doesn't mean it's safe...

just replace the perlite.
for plants i used to use tobbacco and hebanero tea, but as brainiac sed, shrooms will absorb stuff.
may or may not be a problem.
anything you might buy to get rid of them will probably cost more than a bag of perl, tho.

That might work in this case, but what do you do when you got fungus gnat larvae crawling around in a bulk substrate? Their life cycle is so ridiculously fast that its hard to stamp em out manually. Especially when straw gets infested.

I'm on hold on the phone right now with ortho asking them if it's safe for use on fungi, either during colonization or fruiting or both.

edit: They said no, don't use it. But only because it hasn't been tested on fungi. I'll get the msds sheet on it and see what's up.

P.S. what is OG?

Gnat trap #2

I put about half an inch of red wine vinegar in a PF Tek jar, and add one drop of dish soap, set it somewhere popular and start the body count...
