Black Mold or Spores (please give your 2 cents) newbie here!
    #14575290 - 06/07/11 04:15 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Hi everyone,
I know others have asked this question in the past.  I was gone for two days, my mushrooms popped, I came in, saw black and freaked out.  Put on the rubber gloves, brought them outside, ripped them off, through a couple into my neighbor's bark just to see what happens. 

Then I got on here, saw that many people had freaked out from spores dropping in the past, now I have no idea.

Basically I'm wondering, why would there be black on top? (now that I look at it, I can see the spore spray pattern)

My roommate did a spraying the day before and she said she saw a bit of black (possibly) but not anywhere near the level you see in these photos, any help would be much appreciated.  Also, they don't smell like mold at all.  The cakes are a bit blue but also feel quite dry (2 days with only one little spray so I'm guessing they're dehydrated)

See how clearly defined the borders are. Like a spore print!

Get yourself one of these. Decent brand on a freaking good price. Then you'll be more confident with the identification of whatever black stuff are found on your mushrooms.

So the black tops aren't too much cause for concern I'm taking it?

Hmm...thanks for the answer, I will consider buying a microscope, however, I'm not sure I'd even know what I was looking at under the scope...

dang dude, you ripped them up? they were fine, that's just spores, stuck to the top. Spores are sticky, and they stick to the cap well. Purple spores on a brown cap look blackish. they were fine, maybe a little old, you should have picked them yesterday

Yeah bro :super: Look how clearly the black stuff is cut off on the right mushrooms in the third pic. Was there a fruit body over them? I bet there was! Molds dont really grow like that.

Thanks for the kind hopeful words, thankfully I only ripped up and burried maybe 1/3, dunking the cakes now, and excited for the second flush...

I'd still love to hear others weigh in, but I really really appreciate the help, I was so dissapointed to think they had gone to shit after 6 weeks of work and planning, now I'm getting excited for my trip....

Someone should include the thing about the spores in the tuts, mushroomsvideos didn't include it in theirs...

Very grateful nube here!

thanks again...

Definitely spores.

The mushroomvideos.com series does not mention anything about cubensis spores, because RR's videos are not about growing actives.

Changing your mind is one of the best ways of finding out whether or not you still have one.
