Moldy mushrooms
    #20574276 - 09/16/14 08:11 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Hey guys,

First grow wasn't the most successful, but there is one jar that turned out nice (first time with plastic containers so I think I under pressure-cooked them). Anyway, I fruited it as uncased grains, and the humidity, temperature, and light are a little lacking, but it's the best I can do right now.

Anyway, they've been quite slow to get bigger. I've more or less followed Violet's tek, sans casing. I believe they started to show noticeable signs of growth last Friday (week and a half ago) but I haven't picked them because they've never really gotten to the telltale "before the veil breaks" stage.

I'm now worried that they may be molding. I tried a one last night (not to trip, just to test it as I've never eaten a fresh cubensis before) and it tasted fine, albeit watery.

Today though, some look funny (and have gotten bigger). I'm wondering if I waited too long, if I should pick now, or if I should let them keep on growing.







Any thoughts are appreciated, thanks!

Fruiting uncased grains is usually a disaster as your results have demonstrated. The substrate is dried out and fruits look aborted with the eexception of the larger fruit which manages to actually drop spores. Almost looks like a horribly abused PE. I doubt you will see anything more from that so you might as well pick and dry and start over. Do it properly if you want results.

I should add, it's multispore. The shape of the fruit is not an indicator of performance as mutants are common

That's not a mutant anymore than Rodney King was. Those have had to fight to survive with everything they had. A true testament to the resiliance of the species. That should go in Tmethyls house of horrors for sure.

Wow, I really didn't think it was that bad, considering people have done the tek with casing and gotten nothing  :shrug:

Is it really that bad? It's straight, uncased grains covered with a soda bottle with little pinprick holes. I give it FAE several times a day. I've also bottom-watered it.

Yes its a disaster. If your going to fruit straight grains you have to case them. Without a casing the grains bleed moisture leading to a horrible dried out surface of the mycelium which is mostly dead at this point, and a really pathetic attempt by the colony to push out a flush before it dies. I am actually amazed you got a fruit at all.

V tek was for all intents and purposes a bad choice for my environment and I had what I consider to be poor results.

These were bad results. Compare to yours.

My question was never "Are these mushrooms good?" My question was "Are they moldy or okay?" I don't need the criticism (thought this was a supporting community), I just wanted to know if I'd get sick. Reason they weren't cased was I almost burned down my house when I microwaved them a la Violet, so I was forced to go with no casing. Nothing about this was ideal, but I think it's my dedication to life, spirituality, and personal growth that helped them make life. We are all part of the same greater consciousness. I feel like that should be the vibe of this site, but it isn't.

I think I'm signing off with this.

They are just busting your balls. Those mushrooms are more than likely good. Keep in mind, if you want to do this with great results skip the GOD DAMN MICROWAVE. Use a pressure cooker. Do grains, and spawn to bulk. If you want to follow the V-tek, see if she will respond to you in a PM to help you figure out what went wrong. IMO there is nothing that you can put in a micro wave and expect to be sterile when it comes out.

No the vibe of the site is to help people grow mushrooms. Without criticism you will not improve. No your fruits are not moldy, go ahead and eat them. I doubt you have enough for a trip and they look disgusting but feel free to chow them down.

As for violets microwaved casing,  I did it, it was okay. I prefer to pasteurize myself but it worked. I know where he went wrong and I told him. Violet will tell him the same thing, you can't fruit uncased grain. If OP can't handle a little constructive criticism then this is not a good hobby for him. He should either learn how to stick to a tek or else play video games or something.

there is all kinds of incredible advice here, and all the information you need to grow ridiculous amounts of mushrooms you just have to use common sense and find the good information. check out peoples gallerys and pictures of stuff they post and its not hard to see who knows what they are doing.

and take the responses you got as your lesson not to do something like that again lol, stick around and get better. key mentos..etc
