The one that had the 3 larger fruits on it already now has a pincluster of about 150 little dots all around, which is exciting lol. I just wish at least ONE of the cakes that haven't started yet to just.... You know.. Fucking start? Lol

Ok, so literally in the 8 hours I was at work my only good fruiting cake (which looked fine before work) turned fuckkkkking BLACK. I just don't get it.. The pin cluster was showing great growth over the last couple days and then this..
Anyway, I wiped away my tears as I cleaned off the cake and put the fruits in my drying chamber.
Now this might be a stupid question, but Assuming I properly dry these bitches, can I still make a tea out of them? At this rate I'm looking at a complete and utter failure and I'd hate to get nothing out of my investment, but I also realllllly don't wanna die lol.

It's just spores. They taste nasty but won't hurt you.

Are you sure? I didn't have any open caps yet, and it certainly looked hella unpleasant and slimy... It also had a bit of a smell.. But it wasn't ungodly pungent like the green crap. I really hope you're right about it being spores.

Post a pic then. We can't see what you are looking at without a pic. 90% of the time it's spores. You had some nearly mature fruits in a pic earlier. But maybe you won the 10% nasty lotto. So post a pic.

Riddle me this. If it is the 10%, would it kill me to make them into tea anyway?

Are you that averse to posting a picture for confirmation for your own health? Tea will kill a lot of living organisms but it won't negate any of the toxins they've produced.

How will I know without seeing a pic? The description black and nasty is not encouraging. Do you eat rotten food at home? Either pics or I can't help you. It might be spores, some contam that's gross but harmless, or maybe something that could make you sick.

Okay I can't tell what's the issue with those, they still might just be spore blasted. But they look disgusting and are certainly rotting now. I wouldn't eat that myself.

Theyve been in the drying chamber for about a day now.
And No I don't make a habit of eating rotten food, but regular food doesn't make me trip lol. My hope was that I could kill anything that could hurt me when I boiled them into tea, but really want a second or third opinion before I start playing Russian roulette lol

If by drying chamber you mean desiccate chamber, you need to fan dry them for a few days first. Sealing them up in a desiccate chamber is going to exhaust the desiccate and the fruits will just rot. That's probably what's happening now.
I doubt those will even be worth a trip, the longer they stay wet the more actives they lose. Dehydrator FTW.

Yeah they're better off sitting on a table for 5 days drying naturally than inside a desiccant chamber straight from harvest. And definitely about dehydrators. Damn shame to do all the work to get mushrooms and then lose them to something preventable.

Sorry man. That hurts for sure. Consider it a lesson learned and at least it's not a total loss.

Yea I'm pretty heartbroken I'm not gonna lie. I've learned a lot, but I went into this with 30 cakes so I knew I'd come out with SOMETHING even if shit went tits up. Silly me lol.. I'm going to do a bulk run next time with something simple like coir/verm (i think that was your suggestion pastey, in an older thread of mine).
I'm pretty salty I dont even have a spore print to show for my efforts...

I'm tenetive to dry them in open air for 2 reason: that funky black muck I'm still not totally trusting, and my pets. We have a puppy that loves to climb and get into everything and I'd hate for her to get into it.
I am recharging the desiccant routinely, and there's a decent shitload of it in there lol. It very effectively dried some aborts earlier. I'll have to buy a bookshelf as part of my next attempt, to keepy my shit out of reach
