Do these look like contams?!
    #5735916 - 06/10/06 10:15 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

Hey all I started to fruit some B+ a week or two ago and this is what I got:

The caps turned black and there is gooey fuzz growing on the stems.

I also have some jars that look contamed or they could be heads popping out.


Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Looks like stress from the cake sitting on the perlite. Never set the cakes directly on perlite. The cake gets soggy, and so do the fruits. If your cake is too wet and not losing moisture during cropping, you'll get a crappy pinset. Bummer. Next time, set the cake on a jar lid or something.

The jar pictures are too blurry and dark to see anything. Can't help ya there.

Can I still pick the fruited mushrooms? The caps are really discolored which got me concerned. I wanna make sure they arent like poison before I pick them. I'll get more pictures of the jars tomorrow. Thanks for the help roger rabbit.

i don't believe that you'll die if you put in the gargabe those 3 mushrooms, right?

growing mushrooms need to be very patient (and i know it's very hard) :smile:

about the spots in the jars doesn't look as mold or bacteria...perhaps they're simply grains/sawdust attached to the glass surface..too many water?

They'll be ok once they dry completely. Cut off any rotten parts. Don't eat them unless they're totally dry though. That will kill any bacteria that could give you food poisoning. Next time be sure to keep them off the perlite.

I'm not really sure what is rotten or not. I picked the huge stemed one today and there is like a soft part all over the middle, but it doesnt smell rotten, just smells like mushies. Should I cut away the soft in the middle and keep the cap and solid stem parts? Do you think the soft part will dry along the lines of the harder stems?

Think of a rotten piece of fruit--turns to mush.

Hey guys when I cut away the soft part of the stem I realized inside of the stems it is black. Is this normal? I couldn't find anything about what the inside of the stems should look like.

I'm no expert, but I think that the inside of the stem would be bluish.

If it's black, it's rotten. Don't eat it.
