So back to my question.
If the plate shows contamination i would assume the entire LC would be bad and consequently tossed. So let's leave that out.

If the plate shows no contamination from the LC does that mean there is absolutely no contamination in the LC OR can the LC have pockets of contamination and it is possible to extract uncontaminated myc from a partially contaminated LC?

Guys, holy shit. Just harvested almost a kilo wet from my first mono, and it's way too much for my dehydrator. Is there any downside to tossing the extra in the fridge until tomorrow? Or, should i make a big batch of fresh tea with the extra to keep in fridge?

Just make sure you don't store them in plastic. If you're going to be storing in the fridge they should be going inside of paper bags.

I just put them in the crisper bin in my fridge. I recently spaced out and left a bunch in my fridge and forgot about them and by the time I found them they were pretty well fully dried. they're still in there with some new additions, and I'll run them through the dehydrator whenever just to be sure whenever I get around to it. I'd say if your end goal is drying them, they can go in the crisper bin infinitely.

Pretty safe to assume your lc is safe. It's easy enough for contams to maneuver on our solid grain , getting a foothold in lc is a breeze . One day you'll see for yourself when you go to knock up test plates and despite looking great all your plates are completely fucked

I've been posting some ingeli I've stored in plastic, going on 3 weeks and they're as good as the day I put them in the fridge.

so are all the mushrooms we buy at the grocery store , if there cold in plastic but not totally sealed I see no issues but breathable is the safe bet , hell open air in the fridge they will dry.....hell open air out of the fridge they are fine lol

I have a single breathing hole in the Tupperware, not sure it helps but I prefer that to sealing the mush in plastic in the fridge.

Just curious, how much potency do you think is lost if you just leave the mushrooms on the counter for 24 hours while they wait for dehydrator bandwidth?

Absolutely fuck all , I've found mushrooms in my room months old n got high as fuck , we put too much thought into it IMO. We're growing like 40 doses per tub ( over 100 for you grammers ) and our shrooms are less then 3 percent active most of which is psilocybin which is stable AF a bit of which is psilocin which is only slightly unstable but turns to psilocybin...we grow enough to try it yourself leave some out for a month even an eighth then eat it and see if u feel like u lost something lol

Storing mushrooms in plastic can be a food safety issue.

They consulted a chef for this article, and his recommendation is paper on a shelf in the fridge. Even the crisper drawer is likely to promote bacteria.

That's what I thought. I do dehydrate for long term storage, but I'll usually leave my wet shrooms on the counter waiting for the dehydrator to finish. I don't really use paper bags, and don't want to take up space in the fridge. I usually only have 2-3 dehydrator runs at a time anyways.

I would like to get one of those stand up dehydrators with 18 trays, but they're like $300-400. I've seen 12 tray ones for $200, but I'd hate to buy small and then need a bigger one. I'd love the space to give active instant tea a proper go.

For 300 dollars you could build a dehydrator that would easily do 20 tubs , we don't gotta buy everything in this hobby and a dehydrator is just a heat source and air movement

I've seen weed dehydrators built like that, never thought of doing one myself though.

I'll put some thought into it. Ty for the suggestion.

I wouldn't personally trust a Tupperware container, even with a vent open. But definitely don't store them in plastic bags or wrap.

True but please don't use wiki to prove a point lol , it lost me at brown spots are bad
