Not your normal contam question
    #26954367 - 09/25/20 11:52 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

This isn't the usual contamination question.  I successfully grew a "fruit-in-bag" system in a spare room in my home and got several good flushes out of it and then I started to get cobweb mold and the new pins were getting fewer and fewer at which point I went ahead and axed the bag (soak in bleach solution to kill anything and everything).

But my larger question is:  I did this in a spare room/office in my home now I'm worried that I have contaminated everything in there with shroom spores.  I was diligent in my harvests and tried to get them before any of the veils broke but I can't be 100% certain that I caught them all.  I kept the bag in a monotub with a cover and large holes cut in the side stuffed with polyester batting, but every day I would open the lid of the tub and open the bag and let it breathe for several hours.  (I think I had complete beginners luck because supposedly fruit-in-bag is sub-optimal and I was winging it.)

While I understand the spores don't contain any psilocybin (?) but I'm worried that if someone comes to my house and stays in the spare room they'll pick up spores on their clothes or will will somehow contam their own home with these all because of my little home experiment.

How long do shroom spores survive in just a regular room environment?  Am I being overly paranoid about harming others?

Thanks!

This is not something to worry about. It really isnt.

Yes, you are being overly paranoid about harming others.

Damn, even I'm not that paranoid. Hypothetically speaking, let's say the room had spores all over the place. What do you think could possibly happen?

Like FlufferNutter said, This is not something to worry about. It really isnt. Do you worry about mold, Bacteria, or any other spores that you've 100% for sure have carried into your home every time you go outside? No, of course not (I hope)Think of it that way and feel better. This is a non issue.

Thanks all!

(It probably goes without saying that one of the goals of trying shrooms was for treatment of OCD...sounds like maybe the OCD still has some fight left in it).
