Purple Contamination (pink mold) or Spores?
    #26877888 - 08/13/20 05:07 AM (3 years, 5 months ago)

I'm concerned with this purple-ish discoloration found on the top of my casing (in two of my 4 fruiting chambers). 










I have already completed the first flush. This was found recently and hopefully, may be consistent with spore release.

However, I am concerned this is a contamination. All fruit removed from the shoebox terrarium look healthy to my novice eye.

Thank you all for the support.

Looks like the first flush dumped a lot of spores on the substrate. Pick the one or two that are left and try for a second flush💪

It doesn't look contaminated but the surface is ruined from the spore deposits and the haversting itself. Fruiting on that surface is going to be difficult or downright imposible.

You can still flip the substrate.

I did allow far too much time before harvesting and spores did release. However, I am quite frightened by the thought of a deadly contaminate.

Sounds as if I am safe at this point.

Would Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms be the best book to study further and assist in the diagnosis these sort of issues?
