Purplish black growth on mushroom head! Please help!
    #24017516 - 01/17/17 02:08 PM (7 years, 13 days ago)

As of yesterday, I've been noticing this these darkish patches on top of some of my Golden Teachers! I thought it might be normal at first, but now I'm beginning to think it may be mold? I rubbed the top of some of the caps with the black stuff and it came right off like some dead skin. Any information helps, thanks!

Can't tell for sure but it looks like spore deposits. That would be ok.

It's spores, we try to harvest just before they let loose all their spores.
Pick them whie the veil is about to break, or right after, some even prefer to harvest before the veil even begins to open.

So would you say now would be a good time to harvest? It's only really that one cake that has spores beginning to show like that. (sorry, extreme novice here)

All good, now is the second best time to harvest first best would have been just before the sporesplosion. :lol:

If you left these even longer they would paint their entire body black/purple and the surrounding areas.
I've seen them paint entire containers.

Oh wow! It's just that the pinning began only 3 or so days ago, so I figured day 5 would be a good mark to pick them, but mushrooms grow much faster than I expected!

It goes really fast once the pins start to pop. Need to monitor them closely at that point. If it makes you fell better, I let my last batch of GTs go a bit too long and they spores all over the place, but I can tell you they were still very enjoyable! :rockon:
