question on contams
    #14253656 - 04/07/11 03:01 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

i was wondering about contams and bulk substrate... if you find that there are contams in your bulk substrate can you still salvage it?

i have a tray growing and this is my first time, i made a mistake and put the casing layer on before letting it fully colonize, and now i can't really see if there is any hidden contamination below the surface... the tray has produced some fruits along the sides where the casing layer separated from the side of the container, are they safe to eat? is it a failure?

also i've seen pictures of contaminants growing alongside mushrooms, if the contaminant was removed, would there be any reason not to eat the mushrooms?

You run the risk of contaminating your entire grow environment. Is it really worth the effort you will need to clean it up... I think not.

so, you could still salvage it, but it would risk contaminating the area? do it outside then? i could rig something up. anyway, would it be safe to eat the mushrooms i have?

You can't remove contaminants from a bulk substrate. 

We toss them out to protect our grow area from the trillions of spores which are released.  It has nothing to do with the fruits being good or bad.  Every mushroom in the wild grows in the presence of mold and bacteria.

you can eat the fruits just fine.  think about the mushrooms as if they were in the grocery store or something, as long as theyre relatively fresh and contaminant free on the surface, they should be fine to eat.  stay away from soggy, wet spotting, and anything in general that would dissuade you from eating something besides a mushroom
