Okay, I’m about to take the plunge into cultivating my own mushrooms, but I’m a little concerned about growing something that will kill me.
Basically, if one follows the directions properly, and during cultivation there are no signs of mold or “contamination,” is it safe to assume that if mushrooms being to grow and grow to maturity, they are safe to eat?
In short, most contamination leads to no crop/fruit, correct?
Any advice or insight would be appreciated. Thanks

Much safer to eat homegrown (grown correctly atleast) mushrooms than to eat ones from a drug dealer.

Well, I'm just concerned that I might grow mushrooms which are poisonous. But am I wrong to assume that if your batch gets contaminated, you basically won't get mushrooms growing anyway?

yeah, you won't grow any poisonous shroomies
contams will not let the mushies grow
it's one vs. the other..
not them combining to make you ill...

That's not true 
I've had lots of fruits come from contaminated casings.

You just have to know which contams are dangerous

yeah, me too.
but I mean that the mushies from contaminated casings are not a fusion of mold/bacteria and fungi.
fungi is fighting contam for the substrate, not living with it to produce shrooms of contam.
what I don't know is if a good looking shroom from a casing with a contam is safe or a risk...?
