Why does this mushroom smell like mildew?
    #23405144 - 07/02/16 08:15 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

I had a few jars left over from my spawning. They were sitting long after they were colonized. I wasn't sure how to fruit them without the substrate, so I was just going to take the colonized grain, spread it out in a tub and see if it would fruit that way without substrate. As I was opening up the jars, they smelled fine, but when I tore open one of the early mushrooms that were growing because the jars were sitting for so long, it smelled strongly of mildew. I couldn't imagine eating something that smells as bad as my laundry if I forget it in the washer for a day or two.. Does this mean the jars WERE contaminated? There was also a white fuzz in the jar that looked to be a different texture than the rest of the mycelium

Your description sounds like they were contaminated and soured as a result.

Yea if they don't smell fresh like cubensis (I assume what your growing), then, personally, I wouldn't risk it. Pics would help, but in general, you don't wanna mess around with contaminants. Also fruiting plain grain spawn sounds weird, I'd stick with moving it to bulk substrate.
