B+ smelly but look good. Need advice!
    #21854659 - 06/25/15 11:09 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Hello, fellow shroomheads.

Ill cut to the chase - recently I bought a 1200 ml growbox for B+ mushrooms and the thing is, that after the first flush which wasn't that good either the growbag started to smell like old socks. Obviously theres some unwanted bacteria there, i think, but the fact that the mushrooms themselves look perfect, but, when put out to dry out, they too start to smell like socks.

I have grown now two boxes, and one Cambodian with the whole colonization part and preparing the box for cultivation. Now, I thought I would fuck up the Cambodians, but the Cambodians smell and look perfect, like they should.

Why do these B+ shroomies look good but smell bad? Are they safe to eat?

Fun fact: one time I noticed that I had a huge anxiety attack from these B+ shrooms. I cut them smooth and put them in a shot glass with pure lemon juice and let them to soak in for about 15 minutes. Once the shrooms started to kick in I noticed that my heart started to burn and I felt like my blood pressure was going upwards towards my brain and then the scariest part for me - my head started to ring, but not like ears would ring, but it felt like a specific part of my brain from the inside started to ring.

Please help me with this, I dont want to eat poisoned/bad mushrooms or sell them to people, I dont want anyone to get hurt.

Pics: on the left, the dried bunch are the good Cambodians, they look, smell and felt fine, now, the big one on the right is B+ a few days into drying process and has developed this "socky" scent. I picked those fresh B+ you see on the green plate today, and the moment I picked them, they smelled fine, but a few hours into drying process, they too start to develop the sock smell I mentioned earlier.

I need professional advice.

Love,
Jinmu

Pictures bro. Bacterial contaminations will smell like sweaty socks or garbage literally. I fruit mine when or if it happens and to be safe I just boil the shrooms before dosing to reduce risks. Works for me.


Sorry! Didnt see tge link.

I smell too, but am very handsome. The latex suit gets sweaty.

"they are a few days into the drying process"
The drying process should never ever take this long.
Dry them cracker dry using a dehydrator (mine take 6 hours) and store in airtight glass container. You will be fine.

Your mushrooms look delicious. Just boil the fruits if your worried about getting sick. A low boil will kill most dangerous molds.

for the amount you are producing it is not necessary. However, if for some reason you cannot fan dry in about 24 hours then finish up with desiccant then I would recommend a dehydrator to save you from overexposing them unnecessarily.

"Please help me with this, I dont want to eat poisoned/bad mushrooms or sell them to people, I dont want anyone to get hurt."

We can help you not hurt yourself. We will cut you the fuck off though if your selling them. Don't talk about that here. This is a place to share information. Only.

Good luck to you Sir.

Buy a dehydrator anyway. You can make all kinds of dried food, and you can dry mushrooms.

Judge drug mushrooms the same way you'd judge food mushrooms. If they smell bad, they're probably not really fit to eat.

And don't sell your harvest! That's not what we do here. If your friends want mushrooms, teach them to grow. That's how we take over the world.

they do oven dry, but it's not recommended. The heat is not as easily controlled as you would like and there is a risk of going to high. There is also no forced airflow through an oven like in a dehydrator. Oven will get them cracker dry eventually, but potentially at the price of potency.

As said above, if its reminescent of sweaty socks or old trash then you likely had a bacterial contam. I have had brf jars smell ungodly but they still fruited. My substrate had moisture seep in while pressure cooking through micropore tape and that later led to bacteria forming. God those things stunk! Anyways hold your nose while you gulpm down. You will be golden.
