Are rotting mushrooms on a substrate a contamination vector?
    #24917852 - 01/16/18 09:31 AM (7 years, 1 day ago)

Ime they are not, but I haven't done any standardized experiments to actually say that is a fact. Obviously bacteria are going to be breaking down the mushrooms, but it seems to me they break down into a blue goop, the goop dries or washes away, and the substrate otherwise is unharmed and will keep on flushing. If they are not wet then they will, instead of breaking down, just collapse and literally grow back into the substrate itself becoming a part of it. I've experienced this with leaving aborts and small mushrooms. I also once left an entire sub that had flushed to find they all collapsed and fuzzed over beginning to grow into the substrate. I have not had a large mushroom rot on me or when I have I washed it away as soon as I spotted it. I'm wondering specifically if I could just ignore side pins, let them rot, and not have to worry about it.

I never seem to have had contams start on unpicked pins...they ususally seem to get all fuzzy and sort of try to revert back to mycellium...whether thats what they're doing, or if they're just rotting idk, but they don't seem to cause contam.

That's not rotting ime. I assume rotting comes from too high a humidity, thus the mushroom gets consumed by bacteria and turns into a goo. Once the humidity/moisture evaporates and reaches a more healthy level the colony continues on as normal and puts out more mushrooms. :shrug:.

what do you mean by rotting? like aborts?? cause all that usually fuzzes over and becomes pinning sites., rather than rot.

They turn into a blue goo, I assume they're being decomposed by bacteria. Perhaps that means they're already contaminated?

"Rot" is, by definition, the result of contamination by bacteria and/or fungus
