Can I eat these? (Images)
    #5488943 - 04/07/06 04:11 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I am new to growing and not sure if these are safe to eat. About 2 or 3 weeks after I started the jars a green fungus started growing. I tossed out 4 of the 6 jars and kept the 2 with the least contamination. The green mold died out after a few more days.

My question is do you guys think these are safe to eat?

I would not take the chance on those. Both cakes look contam'ed. You don't want to get sick or make someone else sick. IMHO, toss those, bleach bomb, and start over. GL.

Absolutely. They look fine. Enjoy them. Green molds are not toxic to humans, but I don't see any molds on either cake. The top cake has a spot of green, but it looks like bruising. The bottom cake is totally clean. What strain?

I've eaten mushrooms from cakes that have had green mold grow on the surface after birthing many times with no problem. And from cakes that had bits of mold growing in the jar before birthing that I cut out, no problem there either. As far as I've ever heard very few molds are actually dangerous, the only really dangerous molds are the black ones... And in this case you aren't even ingesting the mold directly so it shouldn't be a problem.

If you're really worried you should research what type of mold exactly it is. It can be hard to tell green molds apart, but if you can't find any dangerous molds that look like it you can be pretty certain that it's safe.

You could dry them before eating (at risk of losing potency)... people seem to agree for the most part that dried mushrooms cannot harbor any molds. Since they're dry.

Thanks a lot for all the replies. I feel much better about eating these now.
