My thinking was due to the fact most grain teks say you don't want too many burst grains it would be an issue.

I'll give them a boil anyway & see how it comes out

I had a tub get trich and didn't notice while I was harvesting. It was the 3rd flush so I just thought it was the discolored stumps for a few minutes until I saw a fruit was hollow and completely black on the inside. The outside looked totally normal. The one next to it was a bit mushy but that was what I was waiting for, soft stipes to know they were ready for harvest. Then I noticed I was harvesting from the trich epicenter. Are mushrooms from a trich laden part of a substrate ok to eat?

---

I'd just like to reiterate this question as I have a similar kind of situation going on right now. Anybody?
What I ended up doing was just cut the mushy part off and any dark mush/slime that was there. The fruits look normal and healthy except for the part that was cut off. I feel like if it looks and smells ok, its ok to eat. As far as cubes go at least.

So I UTFSB which I should have done in the first place. What I could find was they are fine to eat. Even though they are growing in trich they do not absorb any harmful substance except heavy metals which aren't in trich. So unless we have heavy metals in the sub with trich, we should be good to go. The only way they should not be eaten is if they are rotten. No examples of rotten mushrooms in those threads I found about eating shrooms from contaminated tubs so I'm not sure if what I have is considered rotten. I don't have pics of it anyway just what I have in my head. All of this information I found was many years old so I don't know if it changed since then. I'm going to try mine and if I get the shits from them, I know for next time to toss them out.

Upon closer inspection some of the grains are pretty fucked up, black & shrivelled & couple looks potentially mouldy. Not sure I'm gonna bother risking it for the sake of a 5kg bag

Because you are supposed to close the lid fully for 2 days in order to restrict FAE as much as possible, so the cakes grow new myc.

Though that this guy needs FAE desperately.

I've added that cake to the water tub.

He's a bit special anyway, started pinning like crazy in the jar and therefore got no dunk.

2) you don’t have to keep the lid latched on your water tub for 2 days. Just put it in with FAE from the jump.

---

Damn, what is the correct answer!! Haha.

Mine have been restricted for 7 days now

Go with Smellyhobbit. He knows best.

You do not have to restrict FAE when growing cubes.

Flipping the lid now, appreciate it fellas!

Shouldn’t you dunk regardless if you have pins or not, so the cake can rehydrate?

I was afraid that the pins would fall off or rot if i dunked it.

I would never drown my first pins ever!

Your pins will not drown... Dunk your cakes.
It's a mushroom producing fungus, it needs water to do anything, if you're not dunking and allowing it to fruit while dehydrated you're wasting your time.
