Help First Time B+ Contam?
    #19172801 - 11/21/13 09:57 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I had the cakes in a tupperware without fresh air on a bed of water soaked perlite. These are the what I have picked off. From what I see some white starts to grow on top of the brown cap and engulfs the cap and grows up/out of the cap. Does this look normal?

Here is my fruiting chamber.

I have a red and blue led glow light that sits above it.
Here are some that I picked off.

What seems to be happening is white grows on top of the cap and engulfs the cap and grows up/off the cap.

They look ok - a little bit of bruising but ok - but your FC setup should have more upwards space. You should also use some kind of impermeable spacer between the cakes and the perlite. Usually, some tinfoil is a good option.

Those are horribly looking!  The good news is that they're either mutants or deformed because of environmental anomalies, and they're fine to eat either way.

I know for sure that your fruiting chamber isn't getting enough fresh air.  That's what causes the fuzzy feet on your mushrooms.

They were getting no fresh air. Here are a few that I picked this morning. Are you sure they are edible? They look scary.

Yup, they're hideous!  And yeah, they're fine.  You'll know if they aren't safe to eat by the smell.  :thumbup:

Yeah, the tumor you have growing off the top of that thing should be every bit as psychoactive as the ugly mushroom beneath.  :rofldrunk:

Ok so this was my first trip. I dried them out with a fan. Then I ground them up in an old weed grinder and dumped them in some OJ. The trip came on pretty quick ~15 minutes. I felt incredibly stoned smiling from ear to ear. Stomach is turning, but mildly. Lasted about 4 hours. Afterward on the come down I was pretty depressed and was starting to get bloated. I felt gassy all the next day until about 3am. I noticed it went away so I looked it up online and found that with tea it isn't so bad. I will probably have to try that next time. Anyone have any tips for the come down?
    Anyway here is how my cakes are doing now. I am pretty sure that they got contaminated afterward. Are the ones that look okay still good or should I toss them all? The cakes started getting dry and then after I put the lid back on they are wet again, but the shrooms that were on there started turning dark. I thought that it was bruising or something because they got too dry. What do you guys think?

Those things are potent medicine.  It's always been my opinion that if you were depressed on the comedown it was because the ramifications of the shit you were working through on your trip are starting to sink in.  Once you get your shit sorted you can usually enjoy yourself more fully.  Just be cognizant that whatever baggage you carry along on the trip is going to be there the whole time unless you deal with it, and that if you think sad thoughts you're going to be sad.

I've taken them at several points in my life when I needed to think wayyyy outside the box, and a few more when I needed to wrap my head around a situation that didn't yet seem real, like the end of a five-year-long relationship or when I had to drop out of college to work up enough money to finish.  They weren't pretty or fun, but they were definitely helpful, and I hope yours was too.  If it was, the next time will be better.

The ones that are turning black are aborts. It's hard to say what caused them if anything but when the cap turns dark black like that they're not grow anymore. You should really have those cakes on some foil or something under those so they're directly touching the perlite.

Latest shrooms... I seem to be getting better at this. Amazing what a little fresh air can do.

2 of my shrooms have opened up on one side from when they were small here is what they look like now. It's like they are trying to say hello. Anyone know why?
