Mold on one of my Mushrooms
    #18931260 - 10/04/13 01:33 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Hi everyone!

So basically I harvested the last mushroom of my first flush today and it wasn't looking as healthy as the last 2 that I harvested. The stem seemed to be bruising a lot more than the others and the odor was a bit different. I took a cotton swab and swabbed the "bruised" part and what do you know, off came the mold spores. I have thrown out this mushroom. I have a few questions aswell. This is my first grow too.

Will it be okay to consume the first 2 that I harvested? They are healthy and are already dried out.

Will I be able to try and go for a second flush without getting a contam?



Thanks

Doesn't look like mold. You most likely just used a cotton swab and took off spores that dropped down on the mushroom IMO.

The Q tip test also doesn't help determine mold. It's possible to have bruising wipe off and not have mold spores wipe off. This was debunked years ago and it amazes me people still continue to try this.
