if a cake gets contam'd will it not bear any fruit?

This is a part of a cake that I dumped from a 20 quart tub. It has clear contamination and fruited even outside after I harvested a couple of flushes. So yes they can bear fruit if contamination is present although it definitely is not ideal by any means.

I do my 12qt ones with 2qts of spawn + an appropriate ratio of coir for the cleanliness of the culture.

Anywhere from 1:1.5 up to 1:3 if I'm feeling froggy.

scraping off "infected" parts of it help save it?

NO NO NO NO. You'll still must assume you'll have contam on all the shrooms.

Though to answer the question above, a contaminated tub will usually fruit some, and sometimes even quicker. Because "nature finds a way", if something is suboptimal, the organism will go into "just get some genetic info out there NOW", shrooms will grow faster and dump spores.

I wouldn't eat shrooms from an infected grow, but some people will. Same way I wouldn't eat a moldy apple.

Someone recently said here that they assume people who'd eat contaminated shrooms probably have filthy bedrooms, clothes, and hair. haha.

If you must eat contamed shrooms, I would boil them and make tea, but even if you kill the contam, they can still have microbial toxins.

If you're growing your first tub and it's contaminated, you probably won't want to throw out your hard work, but if you've grown before and somehow get to a tub without dealing with contam, I'd do a lot of reading and start over. Start with bottom of my sig line. and also read Beef's all-in-one tek page

I pulverize it in a magic bullet boil water throw that into a French press push everything down to the bottom with a teabag in it. Usually strawberry. Then I wait 30 minutes.
I don't boil down.

Should I be?
