well, I'm thinking about trying shrooms and I'm allergic to penicillin.. I've read up on it and for the most part I'm confident.. I'm just looking to hear for my last confirmation I will be okay.. Are you allergic to penicillin? Have you ever had any issues?

You should be fine if you arent allergic to mushrooms in general. Molds release spores into the air that react with people who are allergic. You should be careful if you decide to grow mushrooms though. In my experience ive encountered three types of contams. Bacteria, penicillin, and black mold. Penicillin being the most common. In your case i suggest you sterilize the mold in a pressure cooker if you come across it just to be safe, And perhaps open them up outside with a surgical mask and goggles.

Penicillin is not a contaminant of mushroom culture, nor is it a mold. It's an antibiotic drug produced from metabolites secreted by the penicillium mold when it encounters bacteria. Various Trichoderma species are by far the most common mold contaminants of mushroom culture. I've never in all my years around mushrooms heard of someone allergic to antibiotics have an adverse reaction to mushrooms. RR

Well excuse me mr cranky for not saying Penicillium chrysogenum. lol. And ive never confronted trichoderma in my house. Only penicillium and cobweb for the most part. And as far as i was aware, i always thought people allergic to penicillin antibiotics were also allergic to the mold spores as well?
