Oyster Spore allergy
    #26750187 - 06/16/20 09:40 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hey guys,  do you think my roommate has an oyster spore allergy? She has had a cough for a month and the doctors think it’s an allergy. About 2 months ago I started fruiting oyster mushrooms in a small room with a pvc strip curtain to keep the the humidity in the room. It’s only 40 square feet (300 cubic feet) and I have a a 80CFM exhaust fan that’s running 70% of the day. I am the only one that goes in the room to clean and harvest. My roommate does her laundry right next to the room but otherwise spends no time in there.

So my question is could she get an allergic reaction to this level of exposure immediately. I thought that mushroom worker lung takes time to develop.

Let me know your thoughts. I’m only growing about 8-10 lbs per week.

Oyster mushrooms are well known to have a huge spore loads. Some people are probably more sensitive than others.

If you want to continue growing oyster mushrooms, consider getting a strain that does not produce spores. Would be good for you and everyone around you.

I would say it's unlikely, but yes, certainly possible.  Some people can be extremely sensitive to certain allergens.  Best to be on the safe side and go with sporeless.

Have some medicinal mushrooms and want to get the most out of them?  Try this double extraction method.

Ok I'm switching to sporeless oysters and trying my hand at Lions Mane and Shiitake starting soon.

She did end up seeing an allergist and discovering allergy to lots of different kinds of tree pollen and dogs. And we live with 2 dogs so that is likely the culprit.

I have a sporeless oyster now as well, so I will give that a go. Although I have seen great yields with Lambert 123, I guess the sporeless will be better for my health in the long term
