Maggots in Terrarium
    #22107625 - 08/18/15 05:08 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

So I opened the terrarium to fan this morning and to my dismay I noticed a few little maggots crawling around. Sucks to, mushrooms are pinning all over the place.

Can anyone with experience give me some guidence? Is it time to trash all 4 of the cakes, or is there possibly a way to salvage it?

I'm almost 100% sure that maggots are from fruit flies. Bastards were swarming the terrarium. I hate summer :sun:

I've had them quite a bit in the past. If you have pins, you're probably good for one flush. After that everything is likely to go funky on you. Sorry for your loss man...

Thanks for the feedback. So I think what I will do is let the pins mature and salvage what I can, then trash the cakes. I'll give what mushrooms I get a good examination to be safe. I know larva is mostly harmless but I just don't want to risk having a bad trip with the thought of possibly eating them.

I still have 2 cakes left in the jars. Will be sure to take preventative measures the next time around.
