Possible contam?
    #23674900 - 09/24/16 07:02 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Hi everyone!
First of all, great site with great info. I started reading when a friend got me a grow kit (I know, we found out they kinda suck afterwards when we read all the info you guys have here)

So I got my first golden teacher flush, and I was picking it and I discovered this little blueish-greenish spot on the mycelium.

I know bruising is that color, but I don't know if it can happen on mycelium, so I want to be safe before I eat the shrooms. Also, while cutting one of the shrooms, I saw that there was the same color in the inside of the stem, it didn't appear later, it was already there. I suppose it is bruising, but since there is that blue stain on the mycelium, I want you guys to confirm that it is not a contam that is in both mycelium and shrooms, but just normal bruising.

Thank you for everything, guys, seriously.

It's just brusing.

and the little shroom with the dark tip near it is an abort; you should pick it as it won't grow any more than that and will rot if you leave it there.

btw bruising on myc usually happens from dryness.  Maybe you should mist more?

and if you're using a growbag with only a filtered hole on it, I would poke some more holes on it to provide more fresh air exhange.

Thank you man!
Yeah,I took the picture as soon as I saw it, but I kept collecting after the pic was taken, removing all the aborts and all.

So is it also normal when you cut a shroom at the base of the stem and it is completely green in the inside?

I'm already printing a couple of these shrooms to start some cakes with PF TEK, it is such an interesting process

If this is what you mean, it's completely normal.





and that's a good decision, going with PF tek.  Make sure you read on it and build a proper SGFC.

Yeah, just like that, thank you.

When I started reading all the info that you guys have here I built a SGFC to put the kit inside, but I didn't have an hygrometer and I thought the humidity was low so I took the kit out and put it back in the bag. I plan on getting one for the PF tek though

Thank you again

No need for hygrometer, just mist correctly and fan after misting to trigger evaporation and if your SGFCs design is proper, you'll be ok.

Okay. I built it following the tek step by step, measurements and everything, but I live in a really really dry climate, so I wanted to make sure. I will probably get it set up again in a couple of months when the humidity raises a little

You don't need the environment to be humid, you just have to mist perlite and fan afterwards and the inside of the SGFC will be humid enough.  Drier environment won't interfere with it, at most you might have to mist more frequently.

Yeah... I live in a 10% rH environment (desert) and nothing compares to a sgfc. BUT you need to mist it down directly to keep the substrate glistening all the time, and heavily mist the perlite down once a day.

BTW humidity is SO overrated

Thanks guys! I just picked 350 grams out of the kit in just one flush. I didn't expect it to go so well, but I will go with PF TEK the next time since I feel it is more fun
