Is it safe to grow Psilocybin and gourmet mushrooms in the same grow room?
    #27307672 - 05/14/21 12:29 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Since I have a fruiting room for my gourmet mushrooms(with humidity,  ventilation, etc) Aside from accidentally harvesting the wrong mushrooms(which won't happen cause they would be in their own tub) I want to know if I put some cubensis tubs to fruit in there are there any risks of them contaminating with psychoactive compounds my gourmet mushrooms? Like from spores in the air or something? As far as i know, spores don't contain Psilocybin but I want to be extremely sure.

Spores most definitely do not contain psilocybin. That's the reason why they aren't illegal to posses. You have nothing to worry about

Definitely can happen.
Some gourmets make really heavy spore loads,
chances are more likely they contam your cubensis grows than vice versa.
Just my thought, never had a live situation like this :wink:

^^^^^^^^

Goat makes a good point, it'd be more a concern of 1 grow contaminating the other with spores. Which would mean maybe some gourmets in your cube tubs or cubes in your gourmet tubs.

But as far as psychoactive compounds floating through the air into your gourmet mushrooms and making the people that eat them high, that won't happen.

Tiny fragments of cubes making their way to your gourmet, I'd imagine is possible. But, it wouldn't be anything close to enough to make your gourmets psychoactive

Thanks, a friend gave me a spore syringe and asked me to grow him some cubes, I have zero experience with psychedelics or growing them but i figured it would be fun to try and see if they grow in the same conditions as gourmet.
A done my research on them and have a few questions.

Instead of tubes and when a grow room is available has anybody ever tried to fruit cubes like shiitake blocks?

I figure the only reason for coir and vermiculite is to retain moisture and aerate, because the nutrients they are getting are mainly from the spawn right? So can i just subtiture coir and verm with plain old gardening soil? i guessing it's definitely not ideal but if it works well enough it would be way cheaper and i have the equipment to sterilize large bags.

I don't know much about shitakes and their growing conditions. But what I can say is that fruiting cubes the same as gourmets usually isn't ideal. A monotub with a coir based substrate is what you want. Yes, the grain spawn is what supplies most of the nutrients. From my understanding, coir has very little nutrients. Also, coir is very cheap, maybe even cheaper than gardening soil. Visit your local pet store or order some online.

You'd be better off pasteurizing your bulk substrate instead of sterilizing. There are a lot of beneficial bacteria that live through the pasteurization process
