Weird ball growth in growkit, unsure!
    #27125209 - 01/04/21 04:15 AM (3 years, 24 days ago)

Hi everybody.

I haven't posted on here in a number of years, so first of hello and thanks for taking the time.

I've used some of these SuperGro grow kits before without issues. Now i got three going, one of them went okay, medium flush. Another one i've had nothing come out of it yet. and the third looks like this:










Also, i forgot to mention that the medium flush also had a ball growing on it, it became slightly watery/slick looking so I picked it out and binned it. It was starting to smell a bit too.

I'm really sorry but i'm unsure what strain this is as I deleted the reciept etc. Apologies!

Thank you in advance for any insight! Happy 2021!

bacterial issue most likely

just another example of why u dont buy them stupid things. not that shit cant happen when done correctly by urself but the odds are far far less. there is no such thing as a good grow kit. if u wanna just add water n watch somethin grow i suggest just getting a chia pet as its much less of a headache

all those things are is a brick of a pf tek. so just start out with the pf tek n move on from there. its a very good way to learn

So erm... What is that ball? Is it actually the good stuff at all? Or I need to throw away the kit for safety?

Any tips are welcome.

Could it not just be a weird mycelium growth? thanks in advanced.

There's a good chance that it's at least partially mycelium.  As for whether it's any good to eat, there's only one way to find that out.

Usually mycelium reacts weirdly like that when it's fighting something else.  Without looking at it really closely, cutting it open, etc, we just can't know for sure what the fuck that is.  There are a LOT of organisms in the world, and the thing about contamination is that it can blow in from across the globe.  The earth is one hell of a petri dish.

Hmm! okay thank you. I thought it might be a common thing, though i've never seen that before!

Okay... i'm unsure how long to wait to grab it, i might see if it keeps growing then cut it when it stops.

And i'll cut it and send pictures etc.

Thanks again!

Looks like a blob to me or maybe a mutant mushroom, it happens sometimes and it doesn't have to be an indication of something bad. There are varieties that are prone to blob but even the ones who aren't can blob sometimes.

Nobody can tell for sure if you don't take that box out of that bag, though. You need to take a close pic of the thing and a pic of the surface would be interesting too.

If it's a blob is safe to eat.

I missed that lol yea pretty sure even a healthy colony would rot in those choke bags, let alone one of these kits. Too many lately.

ya i agree i seen more threads about muh growkit and the fuckin dreaded uncle ben in 2020 than i ever wanna see in 2021

i mean im glad ppl are interested and wanna grow but they buy these damn kits that dont work then take bad advice from places like reddit then argue with ppl here when they are givin good advice only to end up starting over here and doin what we suggest anyway🤷🏼

i really actually love seein that happen tho. cuz it proves that what were doin works very well

This is interesting, these look like an edible I forage in the fall in my area. The ones I pick in the wild are a "mutation" due to the mushroom aborting.
It used to be believed it was due to the armillaria mushroom parisiting the entolmoma, but I believe this has been disproved.
Here's a link if you care to read...
"Entoloma abortivum - Wikipedia" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entoloma_abortivum

I wouldn't suggest eating those tho...

Wow crazy! I got the same thing! Zamnasia?



It looks edible! it smells good...

There was a confusion in this thread. I never meant that THIS cake with THIS ball smelt bad, it was a small growth on another cake. This cake has never smelt bad.

Opinions?

Growing an Alien? What is that grow kit meant to grow? If it smells like a shroom then I’d eat it if I really wanted to eat a mushroom and had no other options.

It does look like a blob, and it does appear to bruise blue.  I'm not a big risk taker with eating this kind of stuff, though, so I'd throw it out, but that's cause I've got infinite mush if I want. 

I know everyone is telling you this, but growing your own is rewarding enough in and of itself that I'd head in that direction if you wanna keep tripping or microdosing (or feasting on delicious gourmets).

I saw an article on a fairly large psychedelic site a couple weeks ago that linked people to “Spider-Man tek”.
