Orange contaminant on casing, discard it or can it be saved?
    #21716578 - 05/24/15 05:35 AM (8 years, 8 months ago)

Heej pretty peeps,
Love reading on this site, got my own little project going for the first time but ran into something unexpected.
Could one of y'all help me identify the contaminant on my casing.
[basically: 50/50+ casing tek (Ryche Hawk)]
[got 6 casings of which 2 are contaminated]
The contamination happened while casing, i stuck some hole's through the aluminum foil with a fork (not going to do that anymore) and one week later the casing looks like this:



It has fluffy airborne and sticky elements, under the microscope it's just lots and lots of tiny round cells/spores. Any tips on how to identify? (don't have a sequencer @ home :rolleyes:).

After identification I off course arrive @ the next questions, could it be harm-full if it was present while pinning? Is cutting it out gonna prevent me from having the worst trip in my live?:crazy2:

Positive vibez

When in doubt throw it out. If I saw that I'd toss it.

Thanks for the reply! I tossed 'm!
Need advice again though, my other casings WERE doing fine, however 9 days into fruiting there appears to be some dark fungal growth. but maby it's just spores laying on top of the mycelium....

The black is definitely from spore dump, try to pick before that happens.

Not sure what the blue is for certain, but probably just bruising, watch for spreading.

Looks like you have a lot of second flush, or late first flush pins coming, don't pick these with your first pick unless they are rotting aborts.

Thanks!
So i guess when you say, pick 'm before that happens, you do NOT mean this:


Day 11:


such immense amounts of spores...


making some spore prints, like I didn't have plenty


first real shrooms I'm going to eat in my life


so drying is up next. no fancy equipment, going for oven tek.

This is all just tek testing, and finding the optimal way (:

Haha, yeah definitely pick before that happens, it just seems to make them taste like shit.

You might want to make capsules out of those blackened, Cajun style , SOB's

I also found that aluminum trays will be devoured by the myc, while it is consolidating, and switched to plastic trays, they are better for handling as well.

Check your aluminum trays for tiny pin holes, by holding to the light.
Its pretty neat how it eats right through.
