How do I fight this contaminant?
    #26558159 - 03/26/20 12:31 AM (3 years, 10 months ago)

Some bins get infected, some don't.
I suspect that it is airborne.

Ozone from a UV lamp, iodine on a napkin, cold or ice don't seem to effect it.
How do I stop this coronavirus of the mushroom farm without dumping out infected bins?

Thank you.

How are you starting your spawn? Species you're growing?

Best way to fight contamination is to prevent it in the first place.. get better at your sterile technique.  Get better at prepping and inoculating your spawn grain.  Switch something up... if you’re doing g2g, do it in a SAB.  You  need to change something if it’s happening all the time

Saldy, u cant "fix" an infection. Once a substrate/spawn is infected, its basically done for.

However, I have heard of people dumping their infected spawn outdoors and fruiting outside (if the weather is subtropical or tropical of course). So theres that option.

The Kryptonite of Mushroom Cultivation is always foreign infections. We've all learned that the hard way.

This problem was in a big green bin with food (pictures) yet it also got into my mushrooms. And it never took over my mushrooms. I fought if off.

I successfully solved the problem by mixing small animal bedding (pine and aspen shavings/sawdust) with diluted distilled vinegar. Both ingredients came from Walmart. Problem solved!

I did dump out the green bin with prepared materials in the woods so it would not spread spores near my house. I wish, I would have used the vinegar-soaked sawdust on the green bin as well...

I invented several effective remedies for contamination: a salt shaker with gypsum, a sprayer with peroxide and sawdust with vinegar.

Sawdust with vinegar is the best - it can be collected after deployment and stored in an airtight container for future use.

No more contamination in any of my stuff. It can heal, apparently.
Mature, fully colonized baskets don't get contaminated anymore.

I am writing my own text on how to grow and preserve mushrooms.
All my experiments will be described in there.
I want to distribute it via a torrent.

And yes, if you dump contaminated mushrooms into the woods, they may grow as Nature will balance everything out and contaminants will be taken care of.

Thank you.
