do these shrooms look contaminated?
    #5892493 - 07/23/06 09:28 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

Ok this is my first time growing shrooms in a growbag and I wanted to know if these shrooms looked contaminated or if I'm just being stupid. I have 3 pics.


This is an overview and where it was torn and where one of the stems was cut in half it turned blue green I guess. Is this normal?

This is just an overview of what the bag looks like.

This is where i tore the stem off and when I did that it turned blue green?
In the first pic that is where I am airdrying it with a fan. Hopefully it's not poisonous or contaminated or whatnot. I didn't want to be eating these blue mushrooms this weekend or dying or something lol It's just since I'm a beginner I don't really know the signs of contam and all the contams in the contam post looked really obvious but I wasn't sure if greenish lil flecks in the mycellenium really meant anything or if I'm just making it out more then it is. Thanks in advance.

The blue/greenish bruising is just oxidized psilocin. Nothing to worry about.

Green molds are not toxic to humans but they're death to your crop. It's normal for fruits you pick to bruise blue/green where damaged. If your substrate has green places other than where you just picked or touched, that's likely mold and you need to take it outside for the safety of your future crops, not your own health. I don't see any obvious contamination, but you'll have to get a better camera to get a proper diagnosis.

Rememeber, there are no green mold contaminants of mushroom culture that will kill you. That is an urban mycomyth. If your substrate or fruits stink, it's from bacteria and that can cause food poisoning if you fail to dry or boil the fruits into tea.

Thanks for all of you guys input. Most of the cake is all white although there are some greenish tinge grains but I think I'm overthinking them being green but I think it might just be grains that haven't fully colonized and been covered. But the whole majority is white so I'm guessing its ok. As long as mold isn't going to be killing me even if it was contaminated I'm happy. I just grew them for an occasional one time thing that I'm not going to do too often, so I don't really need alot except for me and one other person.
