Are my mushrooms still safe to eat with this contamination?
    #16837270 - 09/12/12 07:20 PM (12 years, 4 months ago)

I've never grown before, so I bought one of those Mushroom Magic Kits for fun. I injected it with Golden Teacher spores. It took a very long time for the entire bag to colonize, but it eventually did and it was completely white. Soon after, I noticed some discoloration occurring, but I thought nothing of it. It slowly got worse though. Today I harvested my first flush and this is what the bag looks like. The growths are a coffee-with-cream color and they are raised about a half centimeter from the healthy material at some parts and flat in others. My bottom line question is: will I die or become gravely ill from eating these mushrooms? I've already dried them and sealed them, but there seemed to be no growth or discoloration on the mushrooms themselves other than some blue bruising which research tells me is normal. I understand, though, that contamination may be present in the mushrooms themselves that I'm not able to see. It may be a no-brainer to just not eat them, but I'm stubborn and don't care if I get some diarrhea or something. What are your thoughts?

Growing on contaminated substrate doesn't make the mushrooms toxic in any way.

I'm not even so sure that's contaminated. Looks more like a large amount of metabolites produced by the mycelium. There's no unusual smell or anything coming from the bag?

Personally I'd be hesitant to use that bag, my advice would be to let it sit a while and see what those brown patches do. If they get bigger like their colonizing than it might be bad.
