Cubensis Amazonian turned violet / brown infection?
    #21006338 - 12/21/14 05:19 AM (9 years, 4 months ago)

I might have done a very stupid thing. My beautiful grown golden brown Cubensis Amazonian turned dark, violet-brown over night. This color was also present around in radius 25cm. I immediately panicked, thought of fungus infection, removed the cake and surrounding perlite.

Now after some contemplation i have doubts about my action. I could not smell anything strange. What if something (temperature, stronger light) triggered this change and the color of the cake and surrounding was in fact spores being dropped. Among Google found photos of Cubensis Amazonian this photo resembles my situation most. As you can see smaller and younger mushrooms also has darker color on top.

Yup just spores you wipe it off with your finger if you want proof.

I think i am going to cry. Seriously. That was the only successful cake out of 8. At least i did not throw away the mushrooms. So i have something to test.

No need to wipe it off. It was just so they could see it was actually spores. It is safe to eat spores.

Most people pick before they drop spores. The new spores can start to germinate in huge amounts, and you do not want that on your cakes. Some will pick them before the caps begins to open at all.

these are commerically sold ones.


The spores are said to be shot out at speed from the gills, rather than just slowly fall from the caps. I wondered how true this was until I grew this mushroom in a jar. You can see it is right at the top of the jar and the cap is almost sealing the opening of the jar, yet spores somehow to onto the top of the cap on one side. And the stems are covered in spores.

I would assume that the spores got to the top BECAUSE they fall so lightly and gently. The tiny upward draft produced by the slightly warmer substrate probably caused some spores to lightly drift up out of the bottle beside the cap, then once the temperature evened out the spores gently fell and stuck to the closest and wettest spot, the cap of the shroom.

Amazing stuff the way spores can cover everything.

Actually spores are ejected at a high velocity, do a google search about it.

Can you source that?

This is what I came up with:



The speed gained is from the breeze. Spores are released, not shot out at high velocity

This is me upon reading the first post ----------->  :rofl2:

edit: I don't know about shooting out at high velocities or not, but mushrooms do create convection currents to help carry the spores away.

Spores are ejected at high velocity from the basidia away from the gill surface. This is on a microscopic scale, so by the time the spore is only micrometers to maybe a millimeter from the gill, they are 'gently' falling and are then influenced by air currents.
