Contam shitshow but some pins nonetheless. Still hope for fruit?
    #26402379 - 12/27/19 01:39 AM (4 years, 1 month ago)

Hi all!

So a few weeks ago i did my first bulk spawn. I spawned the best jars to three 56 liter tubs. There were a few jars left over which were definitely contaminated (smelled sour, not fully colonized, green in them etc), then there were a couple that didn't seem "off" but didn't smell 100% kosher either.

I decided to spawn these to two half sized tubs, just to see what happened. Lo and behold they developed cobweb and trich before the first flush. At least i think it's cobweb in the pics below.

Thing is, after a very long delay they are showing some pins despite the contam (seen in pics). I was wondering what would be the best way to get the most out of the tubs before tossing them. As you can see there are mostly side pins, but there are a few small guys peeking up through the surface as well (hard to see in pics).

     

How to proceed?

Many thanks
TE

From what I know contaminated mycelium can make clean fruits if the contam isn't too big

You should let it do its thing and carefully examine the shrooms before attempting to eat them. If they smell weird and have funny colors I could not suggest ingesting them.

I have eaten mushrooms from cakes with weird colored spots on them before and they were perfectly fine

DISCLAIMER: My knowledge on contam is kind of limited

I wasn't thinking and deleted the previous pictures from my account with no backups, arg...

Thanks Garofone, your advice was spot on. Just let the subs do their thing and ended up with fruit. I'm no longer sure if the lack of pinning from the top of the sub was due to contam (was i just imagining the cobweb?), or due to there being no liner along the sides. It took a few extra weeks, but the blocks started side pinning like hell. Took them out of the smaller tubs and now they look like this:

 

One block has substantial trich, which i've smothered with a wet paper towel to stop sporulating everywhere. Gonna toss it after this first flush. All in all not bad at all for some iffy jars that would've just been discarded otherwise. Major learning experience in many regards. Thanks for reading all
