Not the mushroom I intended
    #26925140 - 09/08/20 06:37 PM (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hey there fellow shroomigans, I have but another inquiry for thee!

My current cultivation project is moving along very slowly... I think it's because it has been too hot in here during the day (~81 deg F). Also, some of my cakes got water inside them during the pressure cook, so I'm just hoping for the best on those.

There's one cake in particular that I see growth on, but it's not what I expected. Can somebody please help me figure out what this is and what I should do with the cake?





Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Looks like Schizophyllum commune.

"This is an extremely common contaminate mushroom, often mistaken for small Pleurotus (oyster mushrooms).  The mushrooms start out looking like a tiny flask before flattening out to the mature fan-like form.  This species has a worldwide distribution where it is usually found growing on wood.  Despite it being a highly successful wood decaying fungus, it seems just as happy on rice flour and vermiculite.

Reported in the forums several times a year, with reports spiking in the summer months.  Forum posts suggest that the usual source of this mushroom contaminate is natural environmental spore load.

This species is actually edible, but is usually designated as inedible in guidebooks because of its tough, chewy texture."


Check out this mushroom contamination thread for more information.

Ah, I see. Yes, I would agree that it looks like schizophyllum commune. Thanks for your help!

Now, do you think I should throw out the cake? I see that it's an edible mushroom. But do I risk cross contamination if I leave it in the same terrarium as my blue meanies?

I say toss, to prevent further future grow contaminants.

I'm a complete noob so people like jcm4620, mushboy, etc. would know better than me, but I do believe that if you keep them there, spores will eventually, if not already, spread by the masses and hence create a higher likelihood of future contamination, so yes I would get rid of them without saying. But if you rid it now before they sporulate you should be better off.
