Just had a thought...
    #22442016 - 10/27/15 08:39 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

I was just wondering if you could put food dye in the water you use when making cakes using pf tek to make your mushies turn different colors, red for example. I know this is probably pretty stupid but what do you guys think  :dafuq:

The shrooms will grow according to their genetics, the color of the substrate makes no difference. Cool idea tho!! :brilliant:

I was thinking about this recently too but the mycelium would just consume it with no effect. Would be nice to alter the taste of mushrooms.

The mycelium breaks down the coloring.  All my dyed agar dishes are clearish yellow/white by the time the mycelium has started consuming it.

The color would come from the water if enough dye is present and should go into the fruitbodies after that, but I doubt it will look the same when they are dried. If it is the natural dyes it might be decomposed (i.e. the dead bug ones). You could go with synthetic dyes like Red No. 2 and Red No. 40 though and you might be okay. I think those are petroleum based.

I would think the synthetic dyes would stay in the substrate.  I've never seen mycelium push anything into the fruits that couldn't be broken down.

Well... synthetic dyes are just hydrocarbons though aren't they?

I've heard about the heavy metals, not sure if it applies to cubes or not.  Seems safer to assume yes but we don't really use heavy metals in our substrates either.

:whathesaid:

Plus, heavy metal absorption and things of that nature only
apply to primary decomposers, of which cubes are not, as
I have been led to believe.

Uh.. cubes are both primary and secondary decomposers.

True, but in nature, cubes will rarely, if ever, be found growing
on fresh grain or straw that is uncomposted. They almost always
grow on fecal or compost waste, right?

In cultivation, it is a different story. We force it to colonize grain
and other subs:shrug:

So yes it can be both in cultivation, but outdoors, in its natural
environment, they are mainly secondary decomposers

They are secondary decomposers only to occupy their niche in nature. They are primary decomposers in that they do not require substrates to be broken down by another organism. We do not force them to eat un-decomposed substrates, we provide them with what they will do best with.

A true secondary decomposer will not be able to fruit off of a substrate not decomposed already.

Pasty comin in to clear things up!

Just to clarify, i meant force as in coax it to do
something it wouldn't do in nature, like colonize fresh grains.

Fair enough but to further clarify, the only reason they don't colonize fresh grain in nature is that there simply is no source of hydrated grain free from competitors in nature. If there was you can be your last buck that they would be all over it. But even secondary decomposers can often colonize sterile substrates just fine. Its fruiting that they usually require things to be either further broken down, or have less nutrition relative to substrate volume, or to have microbes present.

Grains are rich in nutes and that can cause some issues for some species, especially woodlovers. But most of those still do just fine on undecomposed wood.

Ya i see what you're sayin'.

I have found cubes growing on
straw in nature only once, and it was a
mix of straw and hpoo.

So what do you think about their ability to absorb readily
available toxins from the environment like some primary
decomposers?

I really don't know. Something to look into as its certainly possible. While nothing has probably been done with research on cubes in that respect but we could look at some similar species. Or I suppose one could simply do what they could to ensure a heavy metal free substrate for them :wink:
