First Time Growing... Contaminated??
    #23846383 - 11/18/16 07:32 PM (8 years, 1 month ago)

This is my first time growing and i am pretty sure these mushrooms are contaminated. Anyone have an idea on what this is and how it could of happened? When i first put the trays into the fruiting chamber they were pure white.

I am guessing i should not eat them.

I used grain spawn and coir/verm substrate.

Any advice is appreciated.

Aside from looking a little dry, looks like some tasty PE blobs

Can't see incredibly well but I don't see contams. PE tends to make weird blobs like that, sometimes its all you get :sad:

By blob I just mean wonky/weird looking mushrooms.

By blue spots do you mean the discoloration on some of the stems? That I'm not entirely sure about. Likely just the classic blue bruising you get from psilocybes.

Idk if you want to follow this rule 100% but if the shroom is non-squishy, non rotten, decently firm/fresh, then I'd think its fine to eat. Does it smell bad?

If I remember right giving it a little spritzing makes it smell more. Its just a mushroomy smell you're looking for. Sometimes they simply don't seem to smell like anything though.
