Possible to salvage Grow kit?
    #19402482 - 01/11/14 05:48 AM (10 years, 20 days ago)

hey,
So i bought a Grow kit about 1.5 months ago, it seemed to take forever for the mushrooms to appear.
Maybe 3 weeks ago they started to appear and the last 1-2 Weeks I've noticed some mushrooms look rotten and a lot of mushrooms were growing in the substrate, not emerging plus some white fur "coats" around the stems.
I think the rotting happened because it was too moist, so i started to open the bag every day to let it dry out a bit, (whenever it was misty).
But iam pretty sure now that its completely contaminated.
Now my question is, isn't the dangerous mold the green one? or would these be dangerous to consume as well?
Also, is there anyway to salvage the grow kit and get a new flush? If the white mold isn't dangerous i could harvest them and clean them as good as possible and remove as much mold from the kit and hope for a new flush. (i know that the mold would return, but i could keep moisture down).



If i cant salvage it i probably wont buy another, but rather try it myself.

They're not contaminated but they haven't been growing in ideal conditions. The white fuzz on the steams is mushroom mycelium. It grows like that when they're not receiving enough fresh air.

like Kizzle says.

Also remove all the old mushrooms and turn the bag up side down so that the moisture is trapped under the bag but the mushrooms can breathe, remember CO2 is heavier than oxygen so those mushrooms will be drowning in CO2, because it will be pooling up in the bag.
