Shriveled Caps and Fuzzy Cakes
    #21657836 - 05/09/15 03:38 PM (9 years, 11 days ago)

I've seen a few posts on this subject but no definitive answers... so here goes.

I just got back from a 5-day trip overseas. My mushrooms (Ecuador and B+) were pinning when I left, and when I got back they had all shot right up. I was using grow bags so I don't think there's any contamination.

However, all of them have "fuzzy" cakes... which from I read sounds like humidity. And it's damn humid where I am right now, I'm sweating as I type this and I just got into my apartment. Here's a picture of the cakes of one:



First question: is the fuzzy cakes bad? Does this mean in anyway the mushrooms are less safe for consumption? From what I've read online, it shouldn't be a problem, just means a lot of humidity.

Second question -- as you can see in the second picture, a lot of the caps seem to have shriveled up. They don't look like bacterial infection like I've seen on this forum, but I am curious why they are looking like that. Here's a closer shot:



Do you guys think these look healthy? I'm still new to this so I'm trying to learn what's good, and what could lead to a really bad trip.

Thanks!

Yeah, last minute business trips suck...

Does that mean they are no good and I should toss them? Or would they still be consumable?

OK and the fuzzy cake base?? That just means humidity but no inherent danger?

Awesome, one more question tripdawg420. Here's a photo of some Mazatapec that I pulled before my business trip. Dried for about 20 hours and had to toss them in the fridge before I left... they look fine to me but wanted to see if you think they are safe. I'm a little paranoid, don't want to become the first person in history to die as a direct result of consumption of psilocybin mushrooms. :smile:



I was planning to grind these guys up and store for later.
