Contam?
    #18921297 - 10/02/13 01:22 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Hi everyone!

So I just harvested 2 mushrooms from the same flush and are currently completely dry. I have this last one here and it doesn't look as healthy as the other 2 I had. Could this be a contam? Thanks! The cap seems a bit slimey in person. The stem has a sort of green to it on the top part. Also, if this is a contam, would the other 2 mushrooms that I harvested be safe to eat? They seemed perfectly fine to me when I picked them. This is my first grow too :tongue:

I see some bruising of the mycelium and a mutated mushroom....no contamination there...good to go....only put a piece of foil or a jar lid down under your cake...never place the cake directly on top of the perlite.

Thanks! and I've also heard that the sliminess could be from misting it too direct? :tongue:

Looks like a shroom that is sad you didn't put tin foil between the cake and the perlite.

In fact I don't think that shroom is mutated at all..it's just tearing the veil in that spot...I bet the whole cap will follow suit relatively fast.

I totally forgot about doing that :frown: Should I just cut the bottom part off where there is perlite?

You did it! :electrickoolaid:

I would just leave the perlite that attached itself on there now.
