Pleurotus ulmarius fruiting alongside Psilocybe cubensis!
    #23717809 - 10/07/16 09:04 PM (7 years, 3 months ago)

Hey everyone,

So a few weeks ago I made a post about some "peculiar" growths that had appeared in my tubs.

Original post: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23643788

Turns out that these growths were fruiting oysters that were oxygen deprived. When I had taken the spore prints for this grow, I also had just recently had some oysters in the same room. At that time I didn't consider the possibility of contamination, but as it turns out, the oysters spores contaminated the prints and have now taken over and out-colonised the cubensis in this grow.

Here's a couple of pictures of my tubs which ended up yielding nearly 500 grams of tasty oysters:







So even though I didn't get my usual harvest of p. cubensis, I did end up having a few delicious meals for my troubles.

But here is the really interesting part..

After I harvested the oysters pictured above I decided to leave two bags of spawn in the room and continue FAE, with the bags slightly cut open. I left them for well over a week without checking on them partly due to being very busy and also because I had essentially given up on them. Imagine my surprise when I had a look this morning and found two cubes fruiting in the same bag, alongside some stunted oysters! See pictures below.









^ you can see the two cubes popping up in the back - yes they are quite old now and are already beginning to decay, but it's pretty cool anyway. It's a bit tricky to see, but if you look towards the bottom right-hand side of the opening in the bag you can see a few stunted oysters growing.

I'm amazed that these cubes popped up despite being clearly overrun by the pleurotus spawn.

My question to you guys is have you ever seen this before? And why did the cubes only fruit in the bag and not in the tubs?

Good stuff man!

Haha yes, it's probably one of the better outcomes to a contamination event. I definitely wasn't complaining, neither was the family haha!

I have to admit, a thought crossed my mind as I was serving up this delicious oyster mushroom pasta: "But like what if the oysters some how mutated from being in contact with the cubensis spores and now they also contain psilocybin, which I'm about to feed to my family - oh shit". Luckily, this was not the case.

Haha!
I will begin the preliminary trials. Surely there must be some way to transfer the gene responsible for producing psilocybin into the oysters genome...

Unfortunately I am not an expert geneticist. But, if anyone else here is.....

Quit fuckin around man...go get your degree and get on this shit.

I work with oysters - and there's nothing like plucking a fresh one off the log and taking a bite...

If they were active..........sheeyit.... I'd be the worlds biggest psychonaut...

Quite funny what happened to you, it makes me think about what my clothes are harboring when I get off of work and then start messing with my grows.

Good on you!

:cheers:
