Risks using grain spawn for medicine and food
    #23790130 - 10/31/16 11:15 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Are there any risks from unidentified bacterial infections when using grain spawn for medicine or food?

I personally doubt it. We kill most of the bacteria etc during sterilization. Now if your grains are contamed you shouldn't keep them around, dispose of them in a smart manner. When done properly and keeping contams to a minimum mushroom growing is a pretty safe hobby.

Thank you for the reply pasty. I am unsure if I made it clear that I am asking about consuming myceliated grains directly. So if it looks OK, smells OK, go for it?

Consuming the grains themselves is a bit of a different story. However the bacteria that typically survive in a sterile grain jar or bag with good GE are going to be fairly harmless to people.

If you are concerned you can choose different grains. Brown rice has very low or non existent endospore forming populations. That would be a decent grain for such an endeavor.

this and maybe dry your grains out before you consume them.  or if you're confident you can try mycoburgers, where you slice rounds out of grain spawn from a wide mouth pint jar.
