A word of caution: blowing hot air through a 3D printed part onto items meant for human consumption for upwards of 24 hours might introduce a lot of unwanted carcinogens. I know you definitely can’t do that with resin parts, and filament isn’t safe either. I would caution against using any 3D printed item for any food applications

This jar ended up getting contaminated. But I was just wondering if these grains look okay or if they are too dry?




Looks perfect to me

I knew these jars would be bad but goddamn they look weird… is there any chance of anything top fruiting these? Kinda thinking of just burying them and starting over with clean spawn and grains (I actually have a pressure cooker now), I don’t want to buy more jars

If you can bury them somewhere that might still yield, that would be the pro move.

I have a question though: leaving town for a week. Is just ambient lighting coming from a window ok, or should I setup a light on a timer?

What about PVC?
I feel like something like that could be put together with a little ingenuity and some parts from your local box home store..

Edit:
(Hmm shit even metal piping would be doable I think)

I agree. The layer lines get full of bacteria too. FDM printing is basically never food safe.

If and when conditions are right, cakes will pin. It is really common to have a first flush of mutants, aborts or midgets, then strip them off and get a nicer looking second flush. Especially with PE varieties. But if conditions are not great it is often a race between the mushrooms and contamination.


Thanks. When you say second flush, do you mean if you just let it sit it will develop more primordia and turn into pins once again? Or do you have to dunk to get second flush?

I had some primordia growing all over the bottom of my cake, closest to the perlite in the fruiting chamber, however cake was sitting on a stand, and if the primordia/pins kept going, it was only going to grow into the stand and probably abort. So I decided to flip the cake over, so the richest area of primordia is now facing the top of the fruiting chamber, not the bottom.

I am hoping I didn't fuck it up by flipping it! Very few pins have developed thus far, maybe 3 or 5 of the TEENIEST, tiniest little guys but they all look like they've aborted. The rest is still primordia. You think flipping the cake over will fuck anything up?

If there is enough moisture, you don't have to do anything and it will go for a second flush. If it needs more moisture, heavy misting or a dunk can provide what is needed.

So since the primordia was growing on the side facing the water, that is where the conditions were the best. Likely because it was liking the humidity there. Flipping it over may have taken the best growth away from the environment that it was liking. So that might not have been the best move.

Usually the best option is to leave it alone, which is the hardest part of cultivation. It is easy to love them to death. Now that it is flipped, I would give it a good mist. Adjust the lid so that it stays moist with minimal misting and wait. After a few runs, you will learn what it looks like when it is happy and to let it do its thing. The best practice is to start more projects so you have several things going to keep you occupied while waiting on results.

You can't really fuck it up. You can just learn things not to do in the future for better results.

I did not know the mycelium would detect and then quarantine a contamination. That is so friggin cool!


They put up a fight but don’t always win. Thinking they quarantine contamination is a reach. Like 9x9 said, best of luck.

These little guys look like they're done growing to you? Do I just have a couple midgets? They haven't gotten much bigger in the past day or so.

My first time with a shoebox and first time with ape so idk what to look for.

squish them... If they are tender and marshmallowy, pluck them and dunk the cake for 2nd flush

Still seem firm. Guess the caps are just throwing me off with how they're starting to curl up.

Fair point, though I find it fascinating that they even have the ability to detect it and attempt to quarantine, even if it's not successful.

Ive seen plenty of good info on identifying contamination, but what is the modern protocol for dealing with it? Back in the day, it was "OMG THROW THAT SHIT OUT NOW!" but that's calmed down quite a bit. Is there a way to slow it down once contamination has been spotted on bulk sub or just let it ride til you get a flush and then toss it?

Unless I already have a flush coming in, I am still in the OMG toss it camp. But if the mush are close to finishing I will wait a bit or harvest immediately and then toss it depending on how bad it looks. Lots of colorful spores get a walk outdoors before the lid comes off.


Here are a couple of pan trays that went sideways that I still harvested before tossing the one. I actually got another small flush from the other tray before calling it.

Im with you there - I dont think I could just let the problem get worse and puke spores everywhere. I was hoping maybe someone came up with a half ass countermeasure that everyone knows about except me. I wonder if a glob of vaseline on it would hold the spores in? Im sure everything under the sun has been tried, but I like the idea of being a snooty prick while flinging petroleum jelly on some mold, like I just really pissed in its cheerios.
