Do mushrooms eat through your plastic too?
    #15177733 - 10/04/11 06:42 PM (13 years, 3 months ago)

Hey guys, i have alot of time looking around the shroomery for an answer, maybe i just haven't searched the correct term?

I have had some issues with my cubensis (cambodian strain)!
I put some spawn in some aluminium tubs and wasn't too surprised when they ate the bottom and sides out of it.

I was very surprised (and annoyed) when the same thing happend to my plastic container with spawn in it.
The container is pressure cook-able (recycle-able "5"), i removed the coir and grains after 8 days because it got contaminated with green mold :sad: and it had sections on the bottom that were eaten away, some that were lumpy and all had an odd brown colour.

I know mycelium produces enzymes that can decompose alot of stuff but im really worried whether my monotub is safe!?
It does have a garbage bag lining but i just checked and it biodegradable.....

Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?

Haha, did the tubs Contaminate? I've had this problem also with the little aluminum pans. :thumbup: I just chucked it in the trash. Except mine had visible Cobweb, I thought it was the Mold doing it. I started lining them with plastic.

Not sure about plastic, but it should be ok.  Myc will grow through things like aluminum bake pans.

Yeah the one that i emptied was contaminated but i have another goin too (same little "5" tub) and it has the same digested bits.
I can tell because I can see through the plastic :smile:

I like the optimism here, i just figure if it can eat through the harder plastic, biodegradable should be a breeze?
