Anyome ever do a comparison of tap water vs distilled bottled water for bulks minus cost concerns does tap offer better / worst resultsfrom cholrine and other water purification chemicals etc. Perhaps a difference in municipal water vs well as well (badumptsk)

Depends the quality of your tap water I guess. Usually tap water is just fine for everything.

You could mist with 150 ppm chlorine and not hurt the shrooms but tap water comes in around 1ppm or less.

Thank you i was curious what the withstandable. Concentration was. My water smells like it bad it smells like 25 ppm water to sanitize with. I only know that cause i used to make sanitizer buckets at 50 ppm for cleaning i could smell 50 ppm its easy. I check loacal water report it say between .5 to 1.9. But it sure dont smell like that

Man, I used to think water was important. It's not. It all works out. Where I live, our water is sourced from a million different places so even if I tested (which I did twice) it comes back radically different.
The only time I use distilled water is when I am making casing and trying to get that to a specific pH. For growing cubes...just use your cold tap.

I would imagine something like 99.99% of people in america have adequate tap even if they think it tastes like shit

Lol. I knew a guy years ago who said he'd mist his cakes with bleach to prevent/kill contaminates 
I read while back that fruit bodies won't contain foreign chemicals present in the substrate, but I imagine they would absorb them to some degree if coated. More so than vegetables with pesticides, for example, but that's entirely speculation on my part. Anyone have more up to date info on that?

Obviously terrible. I meant info on whether fruit bodies will absorb anything from the substrate, and not for any purposes involving adding unnecessary adjuncts. I read that they don't a long time ago and know how much knowledge can improve in this field.

Read my mind! Philly has the worst tap water I have ever tasted. Sorry for the OTD, but have you ever checked this out? https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/system.php?pws=PA1510001
Nothing like a little (lot) of choloroform to keep you sharp!

The hypochlorite molecule in bleach is too reactive to stick around, what it forms (after breaking down to form chlorine) will depend on what it finds to react with on the mushrooms. I wouldn't worry about it and just avoid spraying bleach on stuff you plan to eat.
It's heavy metals that can be taken up by fruiting bodies (from the substrate), unless you're in flint there shouldn't be anything like that in your water or any common product used to grow mushrooms.

That's why they use chloramine to treat water.

A chlorine solution at 150ppm can be sprayed directly on fruits to combat bacterial blotch. 1-2 ppm tap water (even the swimming pool smelling stuff we get here) shouldn't be a problem. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23653379

Just to be clear. I was just complaining about how shitty the drinking water is, not suggesting it wouldn't be fine for our purposes
