Antimicrobial gloves
    #28682803 - 03/01/24 04:09 PM (10 months, 11 days ago)

I have some antimicrobial disposable gloves I plan to use for handling mycelium, but it got me wondering if that would pose some risk to the mycelium. I assume even if they do have some antifungal effect the chance of actually causing any level of significant damage to the mycelium is negligible, but I'm still curious of anyone knows or has any experience with this subject.

You don't need such gloves to handle mycelium mate, irrespective of them hurting it or not. Strong, fresh mycelium is very resilient, it took almost two months for contamination to settle in on some of my cakes, key word, "some". And I handle them with bare hands. Not that I recommend that, but there you are.

Thank you for the quick reply! I wasn't seeking out antimicrobial gloves specifically, that's just what I happen to have on hand, was just curious if using them would have some noticeable negative impact. I always use gloves out of habit, even though I know its probably overkill.

No, gloves are not overkill, I am just a bit laid back because I don't deal with grain, just PF Tek for now. I do use gloves when I have them, but I still wash them thoroughly with soap while wearing them, and spraying them with iso before I do work. I don't think they could hurt, but I would rub them with iso just in any case.
