Need help knowing if my mushrooms are contaminated
    #25609917 - 11/12/18 04:10 PM (6 years, 2 months ago)

Hello,
I have started growing my first batch of mushrooms ever. They are the golden teacher strain and I think they may have been contaminated. I used the pf tek method and then put the cakes in a mono tub.

What do you see that you think might be contamination?

And just FYI, there is a contamination forum.

This is my first time growing and I really don’t know a lot. The stems were black and blue and the tops curled over and got very black. I had seen pictures of the golden teacher strain and all of the tops were golden and not flared out. I was very worried about them but I am glad to hear that they are okay

Black is spores, blue/green is bruising

the caps flare out when they're getting old
ideally pic them just after the veils are breaking

Yeah as they age and drop their spores the caps will start to fold upward, and if you let them age long enough they will begin to die and rot, which could be the black you see on the caps.

Looks like the only issue you have here is that you waited a little too long to pick them.  To reiterate what keeno said, you want to pick them just after the veil breaks.

Bad fruit will generally look bad IME... judge it as if it were inactive produce... I make tea with questionable fruit and usually have no issues... I've grown to prefer tea over consuming the mushrooms themselves anyways; i like taking quite substantial doses,  and 35-45 dry grams don't sit well on my tummy lol

Yeah for sure, if you ever think your fruits look questionable (as long as they aren't obviously mold-covered or decaying lol) just make tea.  Boiling water will kill pretty much anything that could harm you.

And damn Caps McGee, you're really out here giving "heroic dose" a whole new meaning:rofl:

Happy exploring everyone!

They look fine, the bluing is good, shows good potency.
Eat up man, also for future reference you can eat mushrooms from contaminated cakes.
If you’re really trepidated just make a tea.
Either way those are fine to eat, just dry them out, or eat fresh whichever.
Enjoy

You.. You take 45 grams in one sitting? Not in 10 or 15 sittings? What are you?

I think the most I've had at once is about 10.

Lol, yes... largest single dose thus far was 46.5g... I ate 100g in about 22 hours, a month or so before that... only used 14g  for tea this weekend, but considering almost a month hiatus for a 50g trip for my birthday coming up

Infinitely... I can't begin to explain it beyond ineffable, beautiful, startling, and insightful... I lose any sense of the reality I exist in on my serotonin trips, and am granted access to the wealth of knowledge of the universe(s)... I wish I could do it without the mushrooms, but if that's what it takes... I typically base-jump at the peak  (smoking harmala and dmt infused parsley) for a supercharged 20 minute peak of insanely incomprehensible imagery, and are generally given the keys to the reality generator, in a place I call the green room, during the comedown... I'm learning more and more how to create and control aspects of created landscapes:  including the flow of time, degree of lighting, contrast, etc

Acid I'm assuming. Heavy doses are fun. If you're prepared for it, it's truly a fun ride. Kinda like a roller coaster in space lol
