Harvested my first fruit by cutting, might have damaged substrate
    #26971992 - 10/06/20 11:42 AM (3 years, 3 months ago)

I harvested my first mushroom today, by cutting with a knife.

But it was a short and stout shroom, at a weird position. So it was kinda hard to make a clean cut. Some substrate has come loose. Should I be worried about contam?

Before cutting:


After cutting:
I know that the blue color is just bruising. But some substrate has come loose under it.


Here's the chubby boy:

you're all good. You should see some of my subs when I'm done harvesting... looks like a war zone... give it a heavy misting and a few days later there will be more.

Haha, thanks! That's good to know :laugh: This is my first ever harvest, so I'm a bit extra paranoid.

I haven't misted after, fearing contam.. But, looks like you're suggesting it's safe (and recommended) to mist now..

some people will wait a day or more and then mist, I believe the idea is its imitating rain... idk how much of that is truth. I tend to harvest a box and give it a good misting and put it back in the room. Once your sub has been colonized it should be pretty contam resistant... that doesn't mean you should leave it open either tho... lol
