Is it ok to use a dehydrator for both my shrooms and fruits and stuffs?

Yes, even at the same time.

Hi guys! Got a couple boxes I could use help with.

Box 1: Stargazers from LC, standard jars to coir method, pressed it down good along the way but getting lots of sidepins (that are being reclaimed now) and the fruits are small and growing VERY slow. Been at this size for almost two weeks, with only a couple breaking veil every 4-5 days. Gotta go away for 5 days tomorrow. Should I just pull all the biggest guys and hope for the best next flush?




Box 2: supposed to be semps, first time growing them from LC. Same process as first. Looks like it’s producing truffles or something when this breed shouldn’t? Does it look ok? It was a little too wet on top, so I dabbed it with paper towels and dried the sides and when I touched it, the myc on top collapsed like cobweb. Thoughts?





Thanks!

they almost look like knots which can happen invitro but its almost always evenly spread throughout the jar and not nearly as bunched up.

the separate areas of outbreak are what tell me its a contam.

When harvesting and cleaning the fruits before dehydrating, what do I want to keep, or dispose of? I believe the parts that contain psilocybin are the cap and stipe (stem). Where does the stipe end and the volva, the part below the stipe, begin? There is a change in color and appearance on the shroom in the photos below, and I've indicated with an arrow that point.

All photos are of the same fruit.

Those there pics are two different tubs. I was reading to harvest when the veils break which obviously some have. Also searched and read to not harvest at different times, or also to do whatever you want lol. So what is the most popular method?

Also I was hoping to not harvest til Wednesday as that’s when I should have my dehydrator. What is the best method for storing dry or even fresh mushies?

I like to put the faster ones in the fridge for a few days while the others catch up

they'll last 7-10 days in the fridge to bridge the gap between when they might be ready and when you're ready/prepared to dry them.  I often do this just so I'm not trying a tray at a time every two days.  I wait until I have a full load and then do them all at once.

If you are going away for 5 days, I would harvest whats ready, the fruit will be fine to store in the fridge for 5 days, same way as you would if storing store brought edible mushrooms if you want to wait for the next flush before processing the fruit for storage.

The P. semperviva tub is a no good IMO, that thing is not something you want to see if your tub, it's possibly mycogone but can't be 100% sure and semps are slow, I highly doubt they will outrun anything sadly.

Box 2 thoughts:
It definitely appears to be either bacteria or parasitic fungi. Upon closer examination of the mycelium, its wispy and uneven texture, suggesting that it is trying to avoid some form of contamination or perhaps escaping from being consumed.

That biofilm on the underside of the lid is raining down Evil on the whole medium.  Alcohol wash that immediately.  And the sides of the tub.  Let it evap before closing up.

And put salt on contamed areas of the surface as an attempt.

Try to save it, now man!

PS - 'semps' is an incorrect term.  In the 21st Century they're 'subtrops'.
