First post and first grow!

Hi! My friend got interested in psilocybin from Michael Pollacks new book. So doing a BRF/Verm cake, and dunked and rolled, and now they're sitting in a tub. It's been 5 days in the tub, and there are some pins! Exciting! BUT guess what? One was contaminated early so my friend dumped it outside next to the air conditioning drain, and today there are two fully grown mushrooms out there! Holy cow, that was easy! I'm a little surprised that they're growing faster outside than in my controlled environment..... Any theories?

Why is your friend growing shit in your controlled growing environment?

Mushrooms from a contaminated cake are not safe to eat. You could be ingesting mold or dangerous bacteria. Not worth the risk. Next time, use the search engine and bury the spent cakes under a decent casing outside if you are interested in recycling them and have the ability to do so.

Yeah, my bad. I checked myself.

QFT. They're safe to eat. I personally wouldn't, but that's just my preference. I think he means Michael Pollan's new book about psychedelics (The guy who wrote The Omnivore's Dilemma).

Er, yes, Michael Pollan. Sorry about that. And total anonymity fail. LOL. and that's before ever trying mushrooms. Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're safe to eat, if you can eat them growing in the wild... because they grew in the wild..... In any case, what I wonder is why the conditions under my vent are better than in the tub.... I have a feeling they got a good cold shock since the water dripping in that area is chilly. Next time my FRIEND will do a better cold shock! Thanks all!

Cold shocking doesn't do anything for cubes. They're probably getting a good soaking from the vent and good fae\surface evaporation. You can getting away with far more moisture outdoors than in a tub without ruining the substrate\cake. Discarded subs in my garden grow massive heavy shrooms because I soak the shit out of them and the surface evaporates quickly.

Thanks for your input. That makes sense. That area is really really wet, but it's over 90 degrees out here, and still over 80 at night, so it's a unique environment, that I don't think I can replicate in a tub. I had read that cold shocking didn't help cubes... but I've read so much that things are starting to contradict each other. But what you said makes sense, so I guess I'll skip the cold shocking, and just 'throw out' a jar every now and then !!

Probably grew fungi Bc itโs got plenty of air movement outside. I used to dump all my contammed subs (when I was a noob and actually got contams) outside... they always grew fungi. Well maybe almost always.

Thanks-- I think I do have thick skin already, but we'll see! Yeah, I've looked around here and I think rare is the truly anonymous person. I feel like you could figure out who people actually are if you want to. But our government has much bigger fish to fry right now- like before they go after shroomers they might want to figure out how to tax crypto, and find the parents to the babies in jail.... but that's another thread. LOL.
I've harvested my first flush- I think it went really good. I have 5 more cakes about ready to dunk now. I'm going to try that plastic baggy thing next. I'm a minimalist, and that totally appeals to me!
