so i had a jar of wbs colonizing with cambodian strain whenit halted. almost all of the mycelium died and i could tell there was a bacterial contam. a lot of water in the jars, the wbs started to get mushy and smelled SOUR and rancid. however, after a month the myclium recovered, and now has the entire jar colonized. can i use this?
the same happened in a casing, the wbs began to colonize hpoo but then got that gross contam, but is now recovering. is it alright to keep going and ingest the mushrooms it produces?
thanks

hm...good question. I would think, though, that this would vary on the type of contam it was...but then again, I would also certainly say that you could quite easilly go ahead and fruit these two recoveree's, and so long as the fruits turn out healty looking, eat em! Reasoning for this being that if the contam is bad enough to change your shooms into something that's going to kill you, the mushroom will most likely look different from a normal, healthy cambodian.

There's a good chance it 'recovered' to grow mold, not mushroom mycelium. Just because it's all white doesn't mean it's ok. Toss out foul smelling or green jars and start over. RR
