CS4 smells like ammonia
    #23485470 - 07/28/16 11:37 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

Is this normal? I have 4 fully colonized and consolidated CS4 jars that
smell like ammonia really bad. Is this normal? The jars have some
metabolites that just started to appear last week.

Up till this point they were solid white but the metabs are a little orange.

My main questions are, is the smell normal and are the metabs a reaction to
contams or do they normally appear? I tried google and searching here with
little info accertained. I did see that Aloha collects the metabs produced
because they have medicinal properties as well.

Thanks guys and gals!

It was extremely off putting. My plan was to dry and grind but now i'm
slightly afraid to consume them! Have you tried them even with the smell?

Any info on metabolites? Like i said, i have read that they are medicinal
too but i am unsure if they are in reaction to contaminatio (which i doubt
seeing as they've been in the jar about 2 or 3 months and have stayed solid
white and don't appear to be bacterial, but who knows.)

Thanks a load grower!

Im not a huge fan of them since you cant easily fruit to verify. White shit growing on substrates can be a lot of species without fruiting it. All my medicinals i sell i have verified by fruiting, wouldnt feel comfortable otherwise. I have some jars of cordyceps but i dont think i will process it. Im currently waiting on a culture from a reputable source and wouldnt do it any other way. But yes IME cordycpes has an amonia like smell

Hmmm thanks for the info!

The ammonia smell is off putting but if it's fairly normal i may still
dry and grind. We'll see.
