Curious about adding Penicillin
    #4958933 - 11/20/05 06:27 AM (18 years, 5 months ago)

I was wondering if you had signs of contamination, would adding penicillin by any chance help destroy it?(the contam.) Or would it also destroy the mycelium/fruiting?

Antibiotics have an effect on bacteria, not fungi. They're sometimes added to agar to fight bacterial contaminants when culturing. Antibiotics will have little to no effect on the green molds or mushroom mycelium.

I see. Well, I had some mycelium that was on vermiculite/brown rice that my friend took out and crumbled about right after it colonized.(stupid thing to do) He gave it to me and told me to eat it to trip out(I actually tried eating some of the cakes on Friday, can't beleive I did that with being so uninformed at the time about that situation, it affected me a little though) So today I took out the partially crumbled chunks of cakes, and crumbled them up more and transfered them into 2 jars. I then added some drops of water into the jars onto the still crumbled cakes. What is your view on the chance of it not contaminating, or what I could do to help it?(would adding penicillin to terminate any signs of later contams. help?) thanks so much.

no it wouldn't help with other fungal contaminates, only bacterial and only certain types of bacteria at that.
all you can do is wait and see what happens.

:peace:
