They should ideally be room temp or very close to.
Edit: 23 minutes late. So close.

Shit, my LC had been "cooling" for days now. I should probably go deal with it.

Should I bother to let a vendor know they sent the wrong stuff? Or not worry about it, cuz I don't really care. Burmese aren't supposed to be albino...

It wouldnβt hurt to let them know. Who knows? Maybe theyβll send you free stuff. At the very least they can check their stock.

Yes, you should. Vendors do not want to do that and would love to correct the mistake.

I'm currently testing out a Natalensis clone culture. 4 jars inoculated via SSLC on 29.04. 1 jar already went to bulk, fully colonized in 10 days with no need to shake. The other 3 were shaken on 09.05 at 85-95% colonization since they were stalled/moving very slowly in the 2-3 days before shaking. Today the mycelium has recovered, they look completely colonized and I'll probably spawn them tomorrow. There is more humidity in the jars after shaking, but they don't look bacterial at all to me. I had some genuinely bacterial jars in my last run and they were much more wet than this current run.
I wonder if this small increase in humidity is due to the mycelium recovery generating heat? Or is even this amount of moisture a reason to suspect contamination?

What can happen if you consume mushrooms that were contaminated? And can they be contaminated without you knowing? Can they grow and not show something specific but still be contaminated? Or will you very much know if they are bad?
I'm doing pf-tek from a spore syringe and they are growing really slow. Almost three weeks and not fully colonized 250 ml jars, and I think they have a strange smell? I have no reference so I don't know if this is normal.

You shouldnβt inject spores into grains or cakes. Do you have pictures?

I've wondered the same thing considering there have been commercially grown mushrooms in grocery stores recalled because they were contaminated. It's been in the back of my mind since I started this. I don't want to poison myself.

I think if poisoning yourself was possible wed be hearing about it all the time. But alas, Ive never read any reports on such a thing happening.

Have you ever had anyone on here just stop posting and never return??? J/K

The main danger is in convincing yourself you poisoned yourself on a high dose trip and doing something stupid. Like calling the cops to your house/clandestine grow op to "come save you".
Seems a lot more likely than actually poisoning yourself. IME when mushrooms/substrate is contaminated they just dont grow.

I know it's not optimal but I only have access to spore syringes and I failed trying to get spores going on agar. This is my first time.
I posted some pictures yesterday and asked about the light brown color but the replies were positive. The foil is still on some of them because I didn't modify all the lids, because I didn't expect this to work.

I can't tell if the strange smell comes from all of them or only one or a few.

Yeah, good point. I actually like the idea of knowing how this sausage is made. I at least know what precautions I take to be as clean as I can.

Spores to PF cakes is totally fine. In fact, thatβs what PF tek is designed for.

But the time it took them to get to this is fine? It's been almost 3 weeks and those jars are small 250 ml. And the smell I'm not sure about?
This is tricky without any experience.
