bacterial infection - let fruit or throw?
    #26430664 - 01/13/20 04:02 AM (4 years, 1 month ago)

I have a few lionsmane sacks that unfortunately have bacteria. I heard that a bacterial attack "only" has a negative impact on the yield ... better than nothing ... right?

my situation: there are about 20 sacks of bacteria. But there are other healthy sacks in my room. I want to sell the mushrooms ... are the bacteria also on the mushrooms? Would you throw the sacks away?

thanks for your opinion

IIRC lion's mane does a pretty good job at fighting off bacteria.  I can't see much in the pics but if it's colonized pretty well and not a total cesspool I'd let 'em try to fruit. 

If you get good fruits they're fine to eat, you'd be able to easily tell if they were affected by bacteria.

Thanks Forrester. Your opinion makes me positive.
Yes, you don't see much ... light mycelium and slightly damp marbled substrate. But they stank to heaven.

In the last ~ 5 - 7 days nothing has happened. Mycelium doesn't grow and it doesn't stink anymore.

I will incubate the bags a little more and hope that the mane will win the fight. Later I give them a chance to fruit.

Yikes I didn't know there was a noticeable bad smell.  That would concern me a bit.  But it went away?  How odd!

I guess it doesn't stink anymore because the bacteria don't work anymore. The bags are probably full of endospores. Mycelium "eats" bacteria ... also endospores?

When my lions mane bags had a bacterial infection during colonisation the sub went a darker colour and smelt like a sweet compost smell, it also looked wet. I never bothered fruiting them though. If they stink real bad I definitely would not fruit them.

My 2 cents.

OK thanks.
My sacks smelled strongly of manure. A different bacterial culture than in your sacks, unfortunately with the same result. The risk of contaminating my fruiting room is already very high ... or ... Can these bacteria live / grow with the environmental conditions in my room at all? I will still leave the sacks and watch.

I did it. because I didn't know no more which sacks had bacteries and which had not... they all looked good.

when I let out the air to prepare the sack for fruiting I thought I smelled the odor of bacteria... or not?.. difficult.
I handled all like healthy sacks.
result: the fruits looked good and were tasty. All bags had fruits. No difference.

The only thing that I recognized after fruiting and bevore I throw them on the compost was a very very sticky yellowish/orange viscous liquid on the bottom of a few bags. around a soup spoon full.. In some bags ~3-5 spoons. . 

next time I throw them out bevore fruiting. .. better save than sorry.
