Growkit Mexicans: contamination? * 1
    #26666634 - 05/12/20 01:45 PM (3 years, 9 months ago)

Hello!

We're growing shrooms for the first time using a grow kit, and after taking some time, some shrooms (Mexicans) started growing quite fast.

Now there are a few things that look strange, I'm hoping it's nothing but maybe some more experienced guys could check.
  • The heads of a few shrooms look very different (pic 1).
  • some smaller shrooms look blueish.
  • the stems on the side of those shrooms looks a bit like cotton/fur







I've checked the following threads:


The "fur" looks a bit like the "Cobweb mold" from (1), but I'm least worried about that - the blue shrooms and the brown heads (they don't seem to be the "aborts" from 3) I didn't find in the guides from above.

Maybe someone can help out and ideally calm us down.

I could try to take better pictures, if that helps.

Thanks!

That is too fuckin cool! :eek: Sponge-head shrooms! :unbelievable:

Looks really dry in there. Increase fine-mist spraying inside there. Also, I recommend building an FC.

They do not look contaminated.

They do look dry and in need of more fresh air.

Those fuzzy bases could indicate they need more fresh air.
Maybe add a small hole or two into the bag and give the surface a nice mist

Wow that looks like the most extreme rose comb ever.

The little blue one is an abort, happens a lot. Some of them just stop growing and die, but they’re super potent.

What causes "rose comb"? Is it just weird genetics?

thanks guys! so...what's an FC?

I've been opening the bag now once a day, to get them some more fresh air.

Also there's actually lots of water inside on the bottom, and the sides of the bag are a bit humid with condensed water, but I could spray a bit additionally.

FC is Fruiting Chamber. Your plastic baggie is essential a Fruiting Chamber but a very limited/basic one. Id recommend making a SGFC, Humidity Chamber or Standing-Water Chamber.
