First-time grower need feedback if my shrooms safe to eat please
    #19394179 - 01/09/14 03:19 PM (10 years, 21 days ago)

Hi guys,

As anal as I was with sterilization (since from reading everyones post it become obvious that it should be the numero uno priority), I just want to make sure I can safely eat these without getting sick since I am first time grower. I had this one cake in the fruiting chamber looking great.



Then, this morning there was one of the mushrooms that the cap fully opened so I harvested it. Around it on the cake where there is protruding mycellium, greenish/bluish tint was observed(see pic2), which was not there yesterday. It's really hard for me to tell the difference if it's green or blue. I had picked off a sample of this area (see pic3).





I did a q-tip test and no color got rubbed off(which is suppose to be good sign). I crumbled and smelled it , and found it to smell normal and feels normally soft to the touch like mycelium normally does.

Then I sliced the harvested mushroom in half lengthwise for drying and found some dark greenish discoloration/not fully white on the inside (see pic4 and 5).






So is it safe to eat this (and mushrooms coming up soon) in your opinion? What is the tell-tale sign that it is NOT safe to eat?
Also, is it ok for me to pick off the discolored protruded myclellium from the cake before dunking, or is it safer to leave it alone?

Thanks so much for your time guys, I really appreciate your help.

It is just bruising. Perfectly safe. Leave the mycelium

Eat 'em up!  I'm a newbie too (so far got 3 dry 0z first grow, not bad), had ones that looked the same.  I can tell you that I ate them and other than the usual light stomach upset that can sometimes happen with these things, I was fine (oh, very fine!)

It sounds like the most damage that is going to come from eating those has already happened...

Never. And I repeat never pick apart a cake, it damages the whole thing.

Things to look out for, greens dark and light, blacks, oranges, pinks.
Those tend to be really bad.

If you catch a cap already opened, it will start dropping spores. The longer its able to, the darker tint of purple you'll get all over it and the cake and nearby cakes. This is also bad.

Eat up bud :rockon:

Ok thanks guys I feel better now!
That cake yielded 17 fullgrown (3-4") alacabenzi mushrooms, 0 aborts- in first flush!
I'm super impressed! (Spores101 are not THAT bad as some people say)

By the way blojo I did not pick the cake apart. I just flaked off a few specks of that discolorated mycellium from the surface (cake intact)

Question: Now that that cake is ready for second flush, apparently I should let it just sit and rest for a little while before dunking. So I washed and dried it and wrapped it in alum foil, but do I leave it at room temp or in the fridge?

letting them rest means leaving them alone.
You could move all the harvested cakes to one side of the sgfc and mist them less than the rest of the cakes.
Keep this up for 5-7 days, then dunk the cake and put it back in the fc.

I usually do this to bulk tubs, but cakes too should benefit from the rest period.
If you got pins growing again right after the flush you should just keep misting them normally.
Mine sometimes refuse to rest and push out 1,5 - 2,5 flushes before taking a rest.

no it's fine. Just put it back in there and mist as usual. I wouldn't really bother with the rest period with a cake, After you harvest a flush just don't mist it for 1-2 days then resume as normal

Well Spores101 is the shittiest vendor around, Just search their name and you'll see how much we love them here. If it were a real vendor(one of the sponsors) you definitely shouldn't put it in your post. These nice people that sell things for microscopic research are not to fond of their product showing up in the cultivation section... It's not good for them so don't fuck them over for being nice to you. It's all in the READ THIS BEFORE POSTING thing at the top of the page.

I realize how bad a name they are in this forum, but now I'm starting to think it's due to this forum being biased by sponsors. Since there is so many negative reviews of them here i figure I give my unbiased personal experience too for other noobs.

Sorry I won't do it again!

So where can we noobs go for some unbiased/unsponsored reviews then?

The sponsors keep this place running. So unfortunately we don't really give a shit about non sponsors. They can come and sponsor the shroomery if they want our business because we like this place and it helps many many many people learn every single day. Google would be the place to find reviews for other places, all reviews are biased in some way. The sponsors here are reliable since they have a community of people making sure they don't loose their luster in the quality department. Spores 101 has been known to send mislabeled spores etc... Chances are every cube variety spores 101 lists is all the exact same and they just printed a label and slap it on your syringe.

sponsors sell spores for microscopy use. sponsors help this forum exist.
we dont advertise non-sponsors here, so edit your previous post.

read the rules to keep from getting banned. the rules makes this all possible.
