Just big enough for the needle to go through. So tiny holes.

This is my first 2nd flush and I think i overdid it with the misting.

The mushrooms are pretty wet inside. The inside of some of the caps are dark blue/black and spongy. Are these safe to consume or starting to rot inside?

They smell ok, but the first flush did not have this much water in them and the caps were white inside.

Thanks




That black splotchy look is likely a pseudomonas infection. Eat at your own risk. Some say a dehydration course or making tea will make it safe. Anything affected as much as the pictured fruit id probably personally discard.




Are you just talking about the black up on the upper part with the cap?

Cuz I've had Stipes that look like this a few times and never had any issues with eating them. They got that spongy packing peanut look.  Ibwas advised  that part was extra bruising and stuff and just the texture of the stipe.  And that they were okay.

I've seen a few others with them as well and  no problems. After dehydration. 

To be clear though.  the black on the Caps does look worrisome and I haven't had that before.

I would listen to tryp.

If you don't have a lot of mushrooms to show for then making tea would probably be your best bet. That's what most people do with iffy looking mushrooms.

it depends. not all air conditions are alike. if you feel the air move, sitting in front of it, then that‘s not recommended!  better to turn it off if you can.

mushrooms that clearly show bacterial infection have only one place to go, imo - the compost pile.

And if i can manage to get the air flow out of the way ?

It s an ac in the ceiling.

I must admit working in 32/35°c and +80% humidity is not really a dream :grin:

But hey if i must i will !

thats exactly the point. if you can get the airflow out of the way you can give it a try. it is not recommended, but - depending on the individual situation - doable

If you find your end up having lots of contamin issues. But can't figure out why after a double checking everything.

that's ac will probably be your source.

Definitely sucks to work in the heat. You'll find if people are asking questions about contam issues and thier sab work.

one of the main questions everyone will ask is.  are you remembering to turn off your central AC? shut all windows? and make sure all air flow is at a complete minimal inside your work area.

You want your air to be still inside your box and outside as much as possible. 

I don't think it really matters if you're able to move the airflow. As long as the air around you is turbulent your chances of getting turbulent air and or unwanted particles inside your sab  are extremely amplified.


As mentioned above. Its never recommended.

If it were me and I was doing this when my AC was working. Cuz I'm im very hot place as well.

I would set up my sab.  cool the room as much as possible. Insulate the room as much as you can. Cover cracks under doors and stuff.

work quickly but methodically. Basically try you get your work finished before the room gets too hot to bear again.

Well i ll try without and see what happens. I m dreading the mosquitoes :grin:

If i remenber correctly i should shut every opening and such an hour before doing the work right ? Putting the ac, shutting it off, and working right after doing so would be counter productive too right ?

don‘t overcomplicate things. most inportant is that the holes in your sab are positioned in a place where the air is least turbulent possible.
also when you get up or move in front of your sab, do it slowly, gently. the less turbulence the better. experiment, find out what works.
put three plates in your sab, open one for 30 seconds, one for a minute and one for five.
let them sit a few days and look closely.  there will be signs :wink:

Well I meant get the room nice and cool then shut everything off and prepare it for work. Wait about 15 or 30 minutes and then you're good.

Hopefully you dontt lose a lot of the cool air and that amount of time. That's the only advice I can offer to help with the heat and not having the AC on.

My sab is kept sealed up when it's not in you so it's clean. I don't do any spraying or wiping or anything. I'll wipe down whatever I'm loading into it. But then I leave arm holes covered. turn off all airflow. leave the room for 15 minutes. come back and get to work.

That's probably not even necessary to leave the room for 15 minutes. Just make sure the air inside your box is I still as possible.

And try to cause as little drafts as possible with your movements inside and outside the box. And then you should be good.

Chris is also giving good advice

No shame in splitting a sab session if it gets too warm. I used to load my sab and take a shower, only using a towel to cover up from the bathroom. Then id do my whole session nude and wet. Helped me avoid overheating now that i think about it.

Do you guys do any kind of cleaning to your harvest? I have some that end up pulled from the sub with verm/coir on them. Into the bowl they go. Loading into the dehydro, I see some of my guys have a dusting of verm or coir on them. I took the tedious time to rise them before going in the dehydro trays the first few times. Now, I'm not too thrilled to do it. I dumped the bowl across four trays and sent it. Hope they aren't too crunchy/gritty on the other end.

I wouldn’t rinse them. My cooking experience just tells me they would absorb the water. Then, you’ll have to dehydrate longer.

However, I must say I’m pretty clean before I toss ‘em in to the dehydrator, as I try to wipe all the “dirt” off. Though, I think it was fahtster (could be wrong) that hacks ‘em and drys them dirty. Then tosses in a big plastic bag and shakes until the coir/verm settles.

I might wipe loose coir off with a finger if theres a good amount, but if theres chunks of sub theyll get peeled off. Anything less is meh.

how's it look?


--------------------
When my bird was looking at my computer monitor, I thought, "that bird has no idea what he's looking at." And yet, what does the bird do? Does he panic? No, he can't really panic, he just does the best he can... You’re that bird looking at the monitor, and you’re thinking to yourself, ‘I can figure this out.’ Maybe you have some bird ideas. Maybe that’s the best you can do.
