Schizophyllum commune contamination

There seems to be a small surge in reports of this easily identified contaminate in cubensis grows. If I missed any or if new ones appear, please add to this post.
Recent posts with Schizophyllum commune contamination.
Ban Hau Thanon 6/19/07 Secondary report of possibly Penis Envy and KSSS also contaminated.

Penis Envy 7/1/07

Chinese cubensis 4/13/07

Unnamed cubensis 6/24/07

Since none of the posts above specify where the syringes were purchased, it is difficult to know if the problems are related.
A good page with details about this species. http://botit.botany.wisc.edu/toms_fungi/feb2000.html

Hahaha, crazy!!
Looks like the most widespread mushroom on earth has found a new host! First it's gotta take its toll on the aids patients and their lungs, and now it's gonna wreak havoc on poor shroomerites and their grows!

unnamed cubensis 7/5/07
]
A conversation with the poster explains that this is not related to any of the other more recent outbreaks as it was generated from material purchased over a year ago. Strain is Hawaiian.

After my contamination with the Ben Hua Thanons I inoculated 9 brf jars with PE and six with KSS. So far it appears that I have 2 of each contaminated with Schizophyllum commune.

Hawaiian 8/8/07

I wasn't able to find a common source for any of these infections. Although some of the contaminated grows were from vendor spores, many were from homemade prints. I am at a loss to explain why there are so many reports this year but at this time it doesn't seem to be confined to any particular vendor. Perhaps there is just a high environmental spore load of this species due to ideal weather conditions.

Yeah, it is very unusual. I am a bit surprised that it was not one vendor. Good work collecting the data.

6/22/08 unnamed strain

Contrast increased to show detail.
This may be a seasonal contaminate as reports seem to be occuring mostly June-August.

B+
Are you saying that these came from a vendor in the syringe?

Thanks for the additional data point. At first I thought there was a common source for this mushroom but now I think its mostly just environmental contamination. That doesn't mean it can't contaminate a syringe, but there is no evidence that any vendor has sent out a batch of spore syringes contaminated with Schizophyllum. There are just single unrelated outbreaks that seem to peak in the Spring-Summer. Schizophyllum is just one tough S.O.B. and seems to grow everywhere.

How bout this? Almost goddamn december and it ain't warm up here!



In the second image I tried to get into focus a weird little guy that almost looks like a little mushroom coming out the side, but the color is not darkened... It's not very focused but you can see the shape. Enjoy! Feel free to impart your judgement.

hmmm... starting with the inverted caps... I think it is pretty much hit or miss at this point. So we'll just have to wait and see. Kinda leaning towards schizo but that's cause I'm a pessimist.

Well. Just another one for the books, I guess. Has there been much discussion looking at where in the process they most often latch on? I didn't really let this guy consolidate while I have for my others. I'm hoping when I birth them, they will be uncontaminated. I will most definitely be doing a major sanitization of my grow room operation. I suppose it's a good excuse. I looked around and haven't found much info. So I will keep this thread posted on whether or not the other cakes do well when I birth them to a crystal clean environment. Thanks for starting this thread or I would have let them grow and it may have become a worse problem. Just another payment towards my mycological tuition, I suppose. Wish me luck. Cheers
