Can anyone help identify contam vs healthy myc...













I’m farely new but have been doing some agar 🧫 and transfers, trying to determine best and healthiest mycelium samples. #3 Looks 👀 the healthiest and the best out of them all.

I second that. I’m not an expert in contamination, but I think number three looked the best.

What is this? It looks like a stipe growing inside a stipe inside another stipe and I'm wondering if I should harvest it and put it in the dehydrator?

Also it's connected to possibly healthy pins so I just don't know what to do with it

Is it generally safe to eat mushrooms from spent brf cakes (not contaminated, just not producing much more after a few flushes)that have been buried in my veggie garden given I know what dirt, etc I used to fill in the raised bed? I could see them growing out of the cakes that were lightly buried, so pretty much crosses off the risk of harvesting a wild mushroom that could be something else and possibly poisonous.

I know there are more variables but do people do that? Just want to make sure I’m not taking unnecessarily high risk.

From everything I've seen here the answer seems to be if it grows whether it's from bacterial spawn or not it's generally safe to eat and planting a spent brf cake is a hail Mary to get some shrooms going. So I think the answer is it's fine to eat if you "planted" them there and they're growing.


But don't listen to me on that one yet. Purely conjecture from posts here.

I store my fruit in air tight jars with indicating desiccant packs after 24 H @ 165 F. Potency should be good for years, right? Shouldnt be any noticeable drop in potency after a year?

Much better since dangerously low blood pressure almost took me out. Turns out I had an allergic reaction to one of my new medications and I'm hyper sensitive to diuretics. Wound up in the hospital the following week and need an MRI on my brain but my outlook is good. I don't think they will find anything negative about my last two living brain cells giving each other CPR. Life is good and I can't complain. Hopefully you are well too!

Should be good for years, yes. This is basically the gold standard for storage.

The bigger question is do you know how to identify a cube?  I've seen numerous other non-edible mushrooms grow in the substrate mountain in my yard...most of the resultant mushrooms are cubes, but not all of them.  If the substrates are pretty fresh the likelyhood of another species is pretty low, but not a 0% chance.

First time cultivator- used a dehydrator to dry my shrooms- is there such thing as drying them too much? On 100 degrees  for 6-8 hours. They feel really brittle

24hr at 165 is what the TCs say. 8hr at 100 degrees sounds pretty far from that, but I guess maybe if they were small mushrooms? Idk...I'd have at least shot for 8hrs at 165 anyway...

No definitely not. Even at 158 degrees for 12 hours personally I think if you're going to consume them right away that's the magic temp and time (some may disagree here) but the general consensus and what I do to make sure they can be stored long term in 158 degrees for 24hrs a batch.

That's the generally agreed on time and temperature. Psilocybin doesn't break down until much higher temps and the length of time has to do with moisture content getting as low as possible so pesky bacteria and microbes don't use the moisture as a breeding ground.

Personally 100 degrees for 6-8 doesn't sound like enough to me. But I know what you're always shooting for is cracker dry, which is very brittle.

I have an AIO bag with some huge ass Golden Halo fruits and wondering how to work harvesting. With my water tub, if a fruits ready for harvest I wash my hands open it, pick up the cake with the fruit and twist and pull or cut depending.

With this AIO bag I have one really strong mushie that look like it'll be mature in 1-2 days. One or 2 is not far behind and thrn there's some solid pins that need more time then I'm willing to keep mature fruits in there

Can I just open it to harvest 1 or 2 and close like I would my watertub?

I will leave stuff in the dehydrator for days and sometimes up to a week until I get around to pulling them out. Usually nothing is under 48 hours

Its can be overkill but if you got large fruits they will take longer and I am not going to piece meal picking out dry fruits and leaving the ones that need to go longer

Ahh I see. Yeah I'm nowhere near that scale yet. Firstly I cut all mushrooms in strips and even then it takes up 2 racks at most. Essentially am drying 40gs wet at a time. I imagine having giant fruits and constant harvests demands a little "overkill"

Just so this doesn't get buried again.

Looks like they would like more FAE. You can pick them now or wait to see if the increase in FAE will cause the caps to open up more
