Contaminated or Safe to Consume?
    #28490258 - 10/02/23 07:44 PM (3 months, 24 days ago)

Is this maitake block contaminated or safe to use? There are now fully formed mushrooms in the bag. Are they safe to consume?

This is my first gourmet mushroom grow. My maitake block appears to have an issue. Everything looked to be growing fine. The block was fully colonized with white mycelium. The maitake mushrooms started to form in the bag. Then I found a spot on a Maitake block where they mycelium appeared to have died back. The spot was oozing a clear to yellow liquid. The center of the spot was light green/white and I could see the texture of the grain. The appearance of the green color has dulled or gone away. The outer ring was a oozing red brown that has turned very dark. The spot is still there and hasn't gone away or spread.

I contacted the seller I purchased the block from and they gave me the following instructions.

"Keep the bag partially closed, with very small openings on the top side of the bag to let oxygen in. Next you will want to take the block and cool it in the fridge for a few days, this will slow the growth of the mold, but speed up/favor the growth of the mycelium".

The seller has been fantastic with their customer service so I have no reason not to trust them. Although I feel its best to have another opinion before consuming these mushrooms.

Thanks!

Can’t wait to see that out of the bag. Who’s the seller?
