Pleurotus ostreatus - dangerous indoors?
    #18713962 - 08/16/13 10:26 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Hey!
I've read somewhere that spores of Pleurotus ostreatus are dangerous to health when inhaled, hence they shouldn't be grown indoors...
Is this true with all oyster mushrooms, like for example Pleurotus eryngii?
What about shiitake, are they safe to grow indoors?

Pleurotus ostreatus just is one of the most prolific spore producers, but really all spores are harmful to breath. Proper ventilation usually solves issues of too many spores airborne, but if you grow a lot in a small space you'll want to wear some type for air filtration mask when things are fruiting. It is good to pick mushrooms before they really start to release many spores as that is generall when they are at their prime.

The spores of P. ostreatus can cause allergic reactions in some people.  I know Profesor PinHead can't grow them any longer and if I am not mistaken RR also.

I have not heard of a reaction to eryngii.

It is wise to harvest any mushroom before it drops spores.

Good to know! I am asthmatic and have hay fever.
I never really thought about it. :grin:
