Mutation problem!!! - A real enigma
    #27001266 - 10/24/20 01:17 PM (3 years, 3 months ago)

Hello everyone!!

I live in the  southern region of Brazil. The climate is subtropical. However temperatures can get from extreme 0º C on very cold winter days to 40º C on hot summer days. Autumn and Spring have quite mild temperatures usually around 20º C. Which are ideal for growing.

Since summer is approaching temperatures have risen considerably the last few days and now the daily temperature is around 20º to 30º. I want to give everyone some background because that might help figuring out what is happening.

Now the reason I'm writing this post (my very first post in the forum by the way) is because after a few very good harvests - as the pictures show - something that I can't explain is happening.



My shoorms have mutated into some weird shapes. The mycelium is still quite white and healthy but as de fruiting process begins, instead of mushrooms I'm getting something quite different.





Has anyone experienced something similar? What should I do?

I've talked to the guy who sold me the strains and he said that it is a mutation. But it happening again and again and I'm unable to grow new healthy mushrooms.

Looks like oyster mushrooms to me.

My guess is schizophyllum commune. It's a common contaminant mushroom.

If it is a contamination as you described and it is happening again and again in all my new batches, what should I do? Throw it all away and start from zero?

:whathesaid:

Are you working from an agar plate or what?  It appears to have replaced your culture.

I'm using corn as substrate, and a spore syringe.

What i believe might be the problem is that I'm using the same pickled cucumber jars over and over again.

I've thrown them all out.

However summer is near and temperatures are rising, the average day temperature is also not ideal around 30ºC to 34º in the hottest hours of the day.
