Toxic Mold?
    #7496510 - 10/08/07 07:00 AM (16 years, 3 months ago)

Obviously you get the occasional contam here and there. And obviously you get the occasional know it all who thinks that a contaminated culture will yield contaminated (and likely poisonous) mushrooms. And there are molds that cause allergies, poisoning and acute respiratory damage. But I've been doing this for a long time now (check out my join date...) and I'm still okay. So my question is, what are the chances of coming across one of these nasty molds, and what precautions do you take to limit exposure?

There's so much disinformation posted by new growers to other new growers that it's hard to stay on top of. Add that to there being more than just the shroomery around to hand out bad advice, and these urban myths that green molds, etc., will kill you just keep going and going like my red-headed step-child that peddles batteries.

Most toxic molds are mostly toxic to humans if we breathe the spores. If you have a jar with mold, especially black or yellow mold, toss it out unopened or PC before opening.

As for molds in the substrate, the most common being trichoderma, a beneficial organism in gardens, and many organic gardeners order cultures of trich to till into the garden soil they grow carrots, onions, etc., and obviously we don't die when we eat the food.

Another common mold, penicillium is used to make medicine and one of my favorite salad dressings, blue cheese.
