Unorthodox Contamination: I Have Maggots!!!!!
    #5398234 - 03/14/06 09:10 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

So today I decided that the casings I had spawned too were more than likely ready to be cased with the casing layer. Nothing could have prepared me to what I was about to see. I open casing number one which I had previously noted a contamination problem on but had decided to leave for another day or two to see what happened. It has a dry yellowish dirt, I think it was from the WBS jar I used to spawn which already had some of this. Anyway this casing smelled like shit and I new it was garbage.

So I move on to casing number two. I open it and not to my surprise, it was beautifully colonized 100%. But then, almost as if a slight hallucination, i spot something moving with the corner of my eyes. I focus on that point and then I see, maggots! The whole thing was filled with them, tiny yellow maggots squirming around the mycelium making themselves comfortable in their new home.

WTF...? How did maggots get into my casing. It was in a TIT which was shut, and the casing in another smaller rubbermaid also with a lid shut on that. I'm so bewildered as to how in the hell i got maggots in my casing. I had to clean the entire TIT, it was full of maggots, ewww  :confused: I have never read anything like this on here. I feel like those suckers are crawling all over me now.

This was definitely a learning experience, or hopefully will be as soon as i figure out how the hell did maggots manage to ruin my casings..... :sad:

Damn man after reading that post (which was awesome by the way) i can't stop scratching myself. Now I feel like theirs a bunch of gnats flying around my room because of the shrooms. I'm going to have to spray raid all over my room just to clear my conscience.

More than likely, your maggots are from regular house flies. fungus gnats, despite their name seem to prefer breeding in your houseplants. There was no reason to throw the project away if it was not otherwise contaminated. Maggots don't eat much, and are actually very clean. Catch the flies with sticky paper, not insecticide spray.

No reason to throw away....? There is no way im having a casing with maggots in my room or picking each maggot individualy off the casing. Maggots give me the jitters.

So you say it was probably from a regular house fly that must have gotten into the TIT somehow eh? Ima have to keep that area cleaner from now on.

Did you know maggots are an accepted medical treatment for serious infections? They release the maggots into the wound to eat the dead tissue. They won't hurt your substrate. I understand about getting the creeps though. I was eating a wild picked mushie once and could see the gills 'moving'. I thought it was just the effects of the shroom, but then my wife saw it and freaked out. It was crawling with maggots and I had just eaten half the cap. Sorta lost my appetite after that...lol

lol! Grose Roger!

Why not try to rinse them off and out of the container if the substrate is completely colonized and healthy? I'd take the substrate out of it's container and would simply rinse them off under the tap well. It shouldn't be too hard. Depending on the substrate size I guess.

and that you can use a tampon to stop bleeding on some bullet wounds.

when i wrestled varsity in high school they shoved a tampon up your nose if it was bloodied during a match.  It never stopped making me laugh when it happened, trying to wrestle with a tampon shoved up your nose isn't the most pleasant experience either :wink:

Lets say you do fruit them, and there are maggots in the shroomies. even if you do eat them they will be incinerated by your stomach acids. their not like worms, they wont attached to your througt and burrow their way in. I agree there ok. just fruit them and see what happens. if anything you acan cut up the shrooms and add them in some lemon juice, that should kill the maggots, and you will have some good trippin.(protien, thats all it is lol). happy shroomin.

Nah man I threw that shit away with the quickness of Speedy Gonzalez! I don't want ANYTHING to do with maggots. I really just rather begin some new casings than go to sleep at night with the knowledge that theirs maggots crawling around somewhere in my room. Besides, I have 20 lbs of WBS and 48 quart jars sitting just waiting for my next batch of syringes to arrive, plus the Hpoo that should arrive soon also.

I'd have to side with you on the wanting to start over. Although I'd have started more casings but still kept the other to see how it turned out. The chances of getting maggots in the other casings would be much higher tho once they start becoming flies...

Lots of people eat these things everyday, they can't be that bad...
