Are these shrooms safe?
    #22012572 - 07/28/15 10:46 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hey guys, my tub is almost ready to harvest for it's first flush, and I noticed a blue-green patch. It looks like a Penicillium mold. And I was wondering if these are safe to eat?

I'm allergic to penicillin, so that's my main concern. If I can't eat them, it's fine for others to consume?

Also, Would I be able to use this tub again easily? I was planning on tossing the tub:sad: and then starting another monotub either before I leave for vacation, or right when I get back.

Thanks guys!

They used to say: When in doubt, throw it out. But there are those who modify that like this: When in doubt, cut the bad part out.

You might at least get a partial harvest out of it. Hope so.

The mushrooms are opening caps probably tomorrow. The veil is being stretched last I checked like an hour ago. The contam came late and it sucks. I don't even know where it came from. I know it wasn't the spawn. The spawn was 100% clean.

I've been told that as long as the contam isn't on the fruit itself, it's safe to consume. However, I'm not a doctor so I couldn't tell you about the allergy situation.

Penicillin is safe to most people, so I think I'll just give these shrooms away. I don't think I want to try it out. I'm gonna toss right after harvest, which is tomorrow.

But I'm wondering if the mold(which isn't on any shrooms) would produce penicillin and the mycelium would carry it to the mushrooms.

The penicilin spores could have landed on the mushroom, yes.

if ur allergic to pellicillium then u should display symptoms when u open the tub

if ur allergic to penicillin, than u should show symptoms when u take that antibiotic.
