Me personally, unless I had other tubs growing in the same room (I am assuming this is your only one?) I don't see a point in quarantining it outside... :shrug: may as well see where it goes and how well it produces.

Interesting! At what point do you throw in the towel and toss the sub? I mean if the mold is actually on the mushroom itself ect? I thought youtoss it if there is any mold, glad I never tossed it.

Well this is the only room with 24 7 ac, the rest of the house can be over 90 degrees, especially if it's under the window light. I have one other bucket in the room but I try not to disturb the contaminated bucket.  What do you think?

Should I remove the cling wrap if I quarantine?

You don't HAVE to dry them.

You should eat wet mushrooms at least once since you are a grower.

I've eaten dry and wet back when I use to go to the cow pastures back when I was 16 or so. .. Granted those just came off of shit,  they were pretty disgusting wet... I will give it a shout with these clean babies here soon. ..

If you have more than one bucket then definitely keep them away from each other. But you can keep it around for however long you want to; I have seen unhealthy subs still pop some stuff up. If it becomes apparent that it is losing the fight to the mold then I would toss it!

Ok I will remove the contaminated one when I get home. Should I put it in shade considering that I live in the south and temps range from 90-100 and summer hasn't even started? What's a good humidity level? Should I leave the cling wrap on as a lid? Would it be better to place it outside or just under a window ina room I rarely go in? Can't thank you guys enough for your help!

I've never tried growing outside in all honesty. But I know of people who just make compost piles out of their spent/contaminated substrates and when conditions are right outside they'll get some mushrooms. Not as much as a monotub or anything but it'll produce

I left the contaminated one in the "hot room" temps got over 100° under the cling wrap (thr room only gets to about 90, so I took it out of direct sunlight) but I'm finally seeing pins... The sides of the coco coir actually separated from the bucket, the coco apparently shrunk. I'm sure there is a reason for this, but there are no pins on the top of the coir, only in the gap between the coir and bucket. Any reason for this?

I think in starting to see my first pin on the clean bucket, which is almost a week behind the contaminated one, I'm pretty optimistic.

the substrate will shrink as it consumes water. this is normal. your pins are forming on the sides because that is where humidity is most ideal in your situation; right in the nice pocket between your substrate and your walls. and yeah, stay optimistic bro :dancer:

Yes it will produce something. Found these outside a couple days ago

Great. . So I expect my first flush fairly soon. Is there anything special I should do to prepare for my second with the contaminated bucket?

My previous grow went to tragedy after my first flush. I was not running the ac so I had a friend take care of them. I think he cut them down to where the base meets the mycelium/sub. I don't think he rehydrated them and the entire container pretty much went to mold. So in this bucket with fine coco coir, if I fill the sub with water and let it sit for 12-24 hours, how do I ensure that it completely drains and doesn't have a pool of water beneath? Should I drill a couple holes to make sure it drains? Also does the mycelium hold the coir or will it break up and become amess?

My largest shroom tore is veil.  I pulled it but the cap is a blue-ish color I think it's probably from heat stress. I just want to make sure,  there is no way the fruits can be contaminated just from being in the same bucket as *possible mold*(in thinking it's been bruising all along), the spore syringe came from a reputable source. there is no way the mold could have compromised the fruits if they fully developed?

My veils are starting to tear :crazy2:...  What do you think?  I included  a few pics.  One with a quarter for size reference. They are much smaller than my first/previous grow but I think I harvested those a bit late plus they were also cubes but a different strain. .. The one closest to the quarter was harvested a day earlier
I don't think it was mold at all... I think it was stress from under watering than over watering... sweetness... Any opinions/critosizim?

I would at least see what it does. Maybe a safe distance from other ongoing projects. First pic does look to have some strange spots where it is either uncolonized, or wet spots where it is darker. Hard to tell by the picture. Can't answer on the other pics, I have never seen healthy myc look that way. I haven't seen a lot of contams except for trich I got on a tray I was doing. It was bad though. I was worried I ruined my future projects because of spores being released. I pulled the foil off that sucker and it was totally GREEN, I about shit....lol.

lol, that does sound scary.  You must habe been looking at my first pics.  What do you think about the 3 post above (on the second page)


One more thing. .. Should I harvest all at once or one by one as they break veils? I feel like I'm wasting the bottom stems that I leave behind and I don't want to tear the stem of a twin ifi take too much.. Last grow he just took then all at once but it was definitely over due

A++ on the trip from 4 users! My buddy tripped so hard he wound up butt naked then flipped out on his girlfriend for no reason. I thought we were going to have to knock him out. I wound up talking to him and keeping his mind off of her because for whatever reason he had it out for her. Everyone enjoyed it (except for my boy who apparently blacked out) intense and we all took no more than 2.5g for the test run and I'm glad I didn't take my "average" 4.5g.

Anyway I stopped seeing pins so I dunked then I immediately saw tons of pins. Idk why, I thought I kept plenty of moisture but apparently not because I think I'm still on the first flush. Oh well I'm going to more than double my first set

Update:I'm quite certain that this was not mold. 2 oz and counting.  This thing shoots out more and more every time I flush. Slowly degrading, but I'm surly impressed. The trip was amazing and no where near as much confusion as my trips on the first batch(different strain). Also I take about 2g as opposed to my first which was generally 4.5g
