Some jars have a vinegar/sour smell. I tried to isolate them - take those jars out of the incubation chamber, but the smell seems to be persisting. All of the jars left in incubation are growing mycelium, but may still have the same smell. Other than the odd smelling jars, the fruiting chamber seems fine. Mushrooms are growing nicely. Any more advice. I'm still feeling a sore throat/foggy head, sort of sickness ever since about a week ago.

Your jars are infected with bacteria and you seem to be having flu. Don't worry much about it, it will pass. Try to get more fresh air and stay away from high humidity.

sometimes when i harvest a tub that had vert i will inevitable have a 24 hour period where i think it made me sick or got me somehow, but then when i wake up, i forgot i even thought that. its like tripping, some things can just be psychosomatic. although, i have heard oyster spores can be dangerous in high amounts. not ppl dying or anything that bad, but maybe developing asthma?

Ok. Another question - If my jars are infected with bacteria, will the cakes still grow shrooms? They are still growing mycelium..
