Grass growing in my SGFC

Somehow I left my SGFC outside long enough while draining that it got grass seeds in the perlite. Now Im growing grass (not even the good kind ) in my SGFC! Anyone have this problem? Only option to replace perlite?

Lets see some pics, I may leave it if I felt it looked cool enough. 
If you are worried about contamination/cross-contam from the grass, then dump that shit and wash it out real good, fill with new perlite.

Ah you are fine, I was thinking you already had crazy tall grass!
How many cakes do you need to fruit? I'd say shake it up and leave it until you are done using the SGFC, if you plan to be using it pretty regularly i'd change it out but mushrooms grow on/next to grass naturally so I can't imagine it being a huge contam problem.
If anything It may help with more surface area for water-evap

I'd just pluck it.
When your done fruiting, fill your bathtub with water and maybe a splash of bleach and submerge the tub with perlite in it. Do it again with just water, or let the shower run on it to rinse any leftover bleach off.
Or switch to bulk.

You know, the more I think about it, the more I want to build a completely enclosed fruiting chamber with a bed of grass in the perlite. Grass is a plant so it breathes CO2 and produces oxygen. Mushrooms breathe Oxygen and produce CO2. I wonder if the combination of the two would provide a cycle of oxidation.

Not even close to enough to make any kind of measureable difference.
