bad smell in p. cubensis growkit
    #26743326 - 06/14/20 04:29 AM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hello people. I am now growing cubensis mushrooms(PES Amazonian) with a grow kit I've bought. Everything went great, quite a few mushrooms appeared, but today I noticed a bad smell when I vented the grow bag. The smell is unpleasant, similar to what water smells if it is left for a long time in a plastic bottle. I don't think it's mushroom smell.


I don't see any colored contamination but some pins stared to grow on the sides of the box. Most of them seem alright but there is one that became black and stopped growing(an abort I guess). It cannot be removed without damaging other mushrooms so I left it there. Is this what causes the smell? There is also a bit of water on the bottom of the bag, maybe I watered to much?


The mushrooms continue to grow normally but some developed a blueish tint, if I understand correctly this is a sign of psilocybin content. I am a complete begginer with mycology and I don't know what to do. I've searched the forum but I couldn't find something that matched with my situation, I'm sorry if I missed it. Also, this is my first post and I hope I made it correctly. Thank you in advance.

Generally, people are encouraged to stay away from grow kits... obviously yours wasnt a complete waste of money but if I were you I'd look into agar and I'd try to get a clone or 2 outta the fruits you already have. From there you can expand into shoeboxes or monos or whatever...

Yes, this is my plan. I bought a growkit instead of spores because I felt it was the fastest way to shrooms. I will make clones and spore prints and follow a monotub tek or the PF tek.

Pf tek is really only for spore syringe or if you dont have access to grain. Also, pf tek is relatively small scale... if you can figure out agar, you'll be in a much better place. From there I'd look into making LIs... that's currently my fastest path... LCs are a bit trickier... and they need to be tested on agar anyway.

That's a good tip. I have a bit of agar experience from growing ergot mycelium, I imagine there isn't much difference with mushrooms. I'm not very familiar with LI's and LC's and how one gets them to fruit but I'll read about it.

For those who may have the same problem and get to this thread, this is what happened. I drained the excess water out and didn't water for 2 days. The bad smell was completely gone in the third day. I got a nice first flush and I'm waiting for the second but I got no spores even thou the veils opened :ohwell: .
