When are brf cakes finished?
    #18953101 - 10/09/13 07:20 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Been lurking on the site for quite some time now and I decided to take up pf tek. Had some awesome results so far but I have a few questions. When do you know when a cake has finished its first flush and is ready for its dunk? And also I have been letting cakes go (after flushing 1-2 times) until I see mold (green) them getting rid of them immediately. How can you tell when the cakes are finished? I also have 36 in a FC.... Is it ok to eat the mushrooms on the moldy cake as long as there isn't any mold on the mushrooms? Thanks for the help !

Umm don't eat that.

Obviously you're new here. Don't keep a contaminated cake in there...

For everything else,


These questions have been asked countless time so just look it up.

If the shrooms themselves look healthy, I'd eat them :shrug:
Of course you dont wanna eat moldy shrooms.

I dont get the other questions.
You know the flush is over because you picked all the fruits?
The cakes are "done" when they stop producing fruits, or go bad from contams.

What would cause my cake to be contaminated? As soon as I see the green mold I get rid of the cake, but fruits are still being fruited on it? Cakes looked nice and healthy when birthing and have been in fruiting chamber for about 3 weeks. I've pulled a little over 6 oz dried. Sorry I tried the search link and couldn't find any info. Only thing I found we contains during colonization.... Thanks for the help

The mycelium will get exhausted after some time, and get contaminated.
You didn't think the cakes would outlive you, or last forever?

So, age, and all that comes with it will cause your cakes to contam.

As long as the mushrooms themselves aren't moldy you can eat them.

I enjoy a psychedelic experience just as much as the next guy, but with that said, my desire to get high is not strong enough to put myself at risk. I am sure there are plenty of people who have consumed some mushrooms that were growing from contaminated cakes and were just fine... but I wouldn't risk it. If they were mine, I would toss 'em.

That's what im saying I wont put myself or anyone else at risk I just start colonizing new cakes after the first flush and you can keep a rotation of fresh cakes going

Ok, I appreciate the advice. I'll get everything out of there and do a full steralization of the tub. Thanks for the responses. I guess I can't be mad about pulling 6oz dry even though they're still fruiting!

fruiting is not a sterile procedure.
don't throw away your perfectly fine cakes, only the contamed ones.

What about the air in your grow room, filled with nasty mold spores
getting stuck on your cakes every waking second?

Don't post stuff you have no idea about.

Yeah just get rid of your contaminated cakes and you'll be good, once cakes are fully colonized they are pretty contam resistant.

Also I personally guarantee the mushrooms are fine that were growing from a cake with mold on it, as long as there's no mold on the mushroom itself, if you get sick from it I will pay your medical bills.

I've noticed a lot of people give bad advice around here, you can't just blindly listen to people all the time without questioning stuff, especially if they are a noob with a very low post count.

There are a lot of wise people here, some have the trusted cultivator tag to let you know that they know what they're doing. Take what they say into consideration a lot more than you would some random person with 100 posts.

I'm not sure if this is directed towards me or just low posters in general, but I don't think that telling someone to eat mushrooms from moldy cakes is good advice.

My advice is on the side of caution and I don't have to be a member of the shroomery for a long time with a high post count to give out cautious advice. I have been hunting, finding and eating wild mushrooms for almost 20 years and I am still hear to talk about it because I have always been extremely cautious. 

Let's get real dude, these are only mushrooms man, not gold or diamonds! Like RR vids say "Better luck next time!" I don't care how high or low your post count is, or how long you have been a member of an internet site, if you tell people to go ahead and eat mushrooms growing from moldy cakes without seeing and examining the cakes yourself first hand (not internet pics), then you should not be giving out that kind of advice... period!

"well, once your cake or casing has mold in it, so do the mushies, so yes, you are eating mold. The mushies are made up of and grow on the mycelium network. That network carries nutes to the mushies, it also carries the contam to the mushies. So if there is mold on your casing, it is also in the mushi."

My friend, that is totally false and goes against everything we've learned about how mycelium works. Mushrooms are not like plants where the mycelium is the root.  It simply doesn't work that way. The mycelium metabolizes the food it 'eats'. When you go to paul stamets seminars he covers this myth in depth.  He has used mycelium to clean up diesel oil spills and other toxic waste dumps and the mushrooms are completely edible and free of all toxins from the soil as established by rigorous testing with gas chromatography.

For those of you who are afraid of moldy cakes, be sure to never eat cheese, because cheese can not be made without mold.  Very thick layers of mold are cut off the blocks of cheese to give them eye-appeal for the market.  The cheese is safe, believe me. You've all eaten cheese all your lives.

Now, that being said, I immediately throw away any contaminated substrate as soon as I see it.  The danger is in polluting my growing environment with the released spores that will contaminate future projects.  However, any mushrooms on the substrate are 100% safe to eat.  That is a fact.  We seriously need less disinformation and fear mongering.  If anyone can produce evidence from one of the established university mycological programs such as Penn State, or anything Stamets has written on the subject I will gladly eat my words.  I have done serious research into this.  Green molds are common in commercial mushroom operations, so if you eat store bought edible mushrooms, you are very often eating mushrooms from substrates with molds. There is not mold in the fruitbody.  They are 100% safe.

I like how you just assume because the OP says it's mold, you ultimately assume it to be a fact! How do you know for sure that it IS in fact mold? What if the OP assumes it is mold, but happens to be something else? Being that you have a "High post count" he trusts your advice based on his mis-observation and makes a potential life threatening mistake? That is reckless!

I stand by my statement, IF YOU CANNOT EXAMINE THE CAKES YOURSELF IN PERSON YOU SHOULD NOT GIVE OUT THAT KIND OF ADVICE! Nor should you tell them to ignore those who are giving cautious advice.

OP, just think of it this way. If I am wrong and the mushrooms are fine then you lose out on a few shrooms and have to start over... big whoop. If homeboy from Uzbecka? is wrong, you could get sick or die. So I guess it's a gamble either way, but the consequences are very different. I say be smart and use your best judgement!

The cakes has nothing to do with it.
Inspect the mushroom, as you would inspect any other food you eat.
If my apples look rotten and smells, I don't eat them.
If the apple looks fine, I don't care what the tree it grew on looks like.

I didn't tell him to trust me, I said to trust people like RR, and if you can't tell green mold from some life threatening infection than maybe natural selection should occur. But even if it was some life threatening infection they would still be okay to eat...

So if the apple looks fine, but the tree grew in an old toxic waste dump site, you wouldn't care what the tree looked like or what the condition of the tree was? You would just say "hey, the apple looks fine, I'm gonna eat this". To each their own I guess, but I don't need an apple that bad... or mushrooms for that matter.

toxic waste?
why should there be toxic waste in your grow, or anyones grow?
Replace "apples" with potatoes from my garden, my point is still the same.

Plants and fungi work different guys, fungi do NOT absorb toxins from their substrate.

Green mold is non toxic, you can eat a moldy bun and still be fine.

You are clearly missing the point as your potato and tree analogy completely ignore the fact that the OP notices something foreign like mold or a contam on his myc. To make a proper analogy, you would have to have something foreign or out of the ordinary with your tree or the soil your potatoes are growing in. I too have a garden and if I suspected anything foreign on something I was growing to consume, I would not eat it. I don't care if it's mushrooms, apples, potatoes, tomatoes or pussy!

If I suspect my "fruit" or what my "fruit" is growing from, might be contaminated in the slightest, I am not gonna consume that shit!

Like I said, too each their own. I'm just saying I wouldn't take the risk that's all.

Yes, it was a poor example, I agree.
Science tells you it's okay to eat, because mushrooms can't draw mold from the substrate.

Mushrooms can mold however, and I wouldn't eat those.
I have done so before, ended up with a stomach ache while tripping.
Nothing big, just annoying.

I guess give what ever advice you want no matter how reckless I might think it is. Just don't tell people that my cautious advice is no good because I haven't been here long and have a low post count.

I know what you are saying space and I understand. Like I said in my first post, I'm sure many people have eaten moldy/contaminated mushrooms and were just fine. It's just not something I would do because, quite frankly I don't want to get high that bad. I guess when it comes to mushrooms, fungus and molds, I just don't take any unnecessary risks, that's all.

I never said your advice is no good, I simply said take something that a poster like you says lightly, and to put more emphasis on something a poster like RR says.

Honestly it doesn't matter if you think it's reckless or not, I know it's not. I've grown mushrooms, and ate mushrooms from a moldy substrate before with no problem, as well as have countless other people. Not to mention most if not all trusted cultivators agree with me.

So you wouldn't ever eat a mushroom picked in the wild then? You do realize our soil is literally full of mold and other germs, as well as feces and dead rotten animals... not to mention all the mold spores and other airborne contams that are floating around out there.

And you are the reason why I am deciding to grow my own mushrooms. Because I cannot trust people like yourself to take the kind of precautions I will take. Like I said before, I have been finding and eating wild mushrooms for almost 2 decades and I have always been cautious and that isn't gonna change in cultivating them. Yes I realize the dangers in collecting wild mushrooms and probably only consume less than 1% of the specimens I find for that reason.

Maybe before giving the OP the green light to mow down on his suspicious mushrooms, don't you think the OP should positively identify what he is looking at first?

Why does outdoor cannabis plants have less bugs and mold than indoor cannabis? Because your indoor cannabis is the only bar in town with no natural predators in a confined space, so mold and bugs can hang out unimpeded and they have no place to go.

I know one thing for sure, based on what you have said in this thread, I would feel much better going out to my old stomping grounds in Texas and pick a fresh, grown by nature cube, than to even think about eating something you grew! Believe me when I say that nature will always be better at growing mushrooms than you will :wink:

There is (virtually)no danger in eating a wild specimen, I was just saying that to prove a point.

No, because it literally does not fucking matter what the contam is you can grow your mushrooms on MRSA infected substrate and it wouldn't make any difference.

Nature is good at growing mushrooms, certainly better than me, but not as good as some people can grow them.

Also IDGAF if you'd eat my mushrooms or not, many people have and no ones dead yet so I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing.

Ok dude sounds good, you and your friends stick to eating molding mushrooms and I'll stick to being cautious. And we will agree to disagree.

As for man vs nature... Until I see someone make a monotub/FC or whatever as big as the cow pasture I used to pick my cubes in, I will not say that any man on this planet can grow mushrooms better than nature! This pasture is 2 1/2 miles wide and as long as the eye can see! From mid May to the beginning of July, you could collect so many cubes in one day, you could fill a semi truck (even then, you would run out of daylight before cubes). You could empty that truck, come back the next day and fill that bitch up again! You could repeat this daily for almost 2 months... and that's just the peak months. Unlike the Psilocybes in the PNW, rain is not necessary to pop up cubes in Texas. The humidity does it every day. Those suckers grow all year down there. You show me anyone on this planet that can say they can match or grow mushrooms better than that! Yeah right!

Point of the discussion; They aren't moldy.
No mold in them.
Does not have mold.

Do you throw away everything edible from your home if 1 cake shows sign of contam?
No, because it doesn't matter.

This is getting old, do as you please, but you're wasting good shrooms.

A lot of people... they may not not grow 100,000 lbs a year, but then again must people aren't growing on many square miles of land they're growing in tubs with like 5ft of surface area, if you times that 5 square feet by however many square feet you're pasture is I guarantee they grow more foot for foot than nature does, that's not what I was talking about anyways, I was talking about using agar to get more potent, faster growing, larger, better looking, etc... fruits.

None of this matters though, this is not what this thread is about.

IT IS COMMONLY ACCEPTED IN THE MUSHROOM COMMUNITY THAT YOU CAN EAT MUSHROOMS FROM A CONTAMINATED SUBSTRATE AS LONG AS THE MUSHROOMS THEMSELVES DO NOT SHOW SIGNS OF INFECTION.

I'm done talking about it, I know what works for me as well as most of the rest of the community, if you don't want to eat perfectly good fruits I don't give a fuck, but it's no reason to spread misinformation.

I'm not spreading misinformation because I have no idea what the OP's mold/contam is. Without that knowledge I can only give responsible advice and that is to be cautious. If being cautious is tossing out a couple mushrooms, then so be it! That is not spreading misinformation!

I would be spreading misinformation if I were to tell him it was ok to eat his mushrooms with out actually seeing and examining the cakes and mushrooms myself in person. Until you know for sure without any uncertainty what this guy has on his cakes you should not tell him to eat them. It could very well and most likely be completely harmless, but YOU DON"T KNOW THAT! The fact that you or I don't know exactly what this guy has on his cakes is just that, a fact! Your assumption that the OP has properly identified  whatever it is as mold, is just that, an assumption. Your advice is based on an assumption and my cautious advice is based on the lack of knowledge pertaining to all the unknown variables in the OP's situation. Who's spreading misinformation?

My advice is not based on assumptions, what don't you get?

You could grow your mushrooms on substrate infected with HIV and your mushrooms would still be good to eat, mushrooms do no absorb contams from the substrate no matter what contam it is.

You sir are the one spreading misinformation...

This thread is hilarious.

To all yall in this thread that are afraid of mold:

Have you ever eaten blue cheese? Mold.

Ever used canola oil? They spray the whole fucking field with Trich. spores to control fungus.

Breathe much? The mold spore count in the outside air would probably surprise you.

Listen to mj, and re-read the RR quote he posted.

Mold is a danger to your future grows, not your gut.

I don't give a shit if you grew HIV mushrooms and ate them and came out unscathed with bigger twinkle in your eye. LOL, I hope you do someday to prove it, but I am not that desperate for mushrooms to take the risk whether it's harmful or not. If you feel compelled to, piss on your cakes for all I care, eat the shrooms growing from them if you want to prove a point, and even if you do, it doesn't matter! I still WOULD NOT EAT THEM, I'M NOT THAT HARD UP FOR SHROOMS!

If you think being cautious and saying "I don't know what that shit on your cake is, so I wouldn't eat 'em" is spreading misinformation, then whatever dude! I'm sure the OP has probably decided what he is gonna do so I am done wasting time with you. Have fun with piss covered HIV mushrooms  :hi:

Lol, thanks.

And yeah I was getting aggravated, I just didn't want the OP to throw all his mushrooms away for nothing, that would be a tragedy, especially since this is likely his first grow, I don't want him to get discouraged.

My thoughts exactly! But I couldn't keep it civil anymore so I just stopped.

Must have been a classic troll post, when so many, including rr says it doesn't work that way with fungi.
Still he felt the need to say it was the shrooms that had mold, hiv, radioactivity and whatnot.

Trolls belong in the mountain god damnit :lol:

Urine is sterile...

What don't you get? This isn't about whether or not you would eat them, or how many shrooms you have to waste, it's about the truth, which is that the mushrooms are fine to eat...
