Blue-gray Z-Strain fruits
    #7613301 - 11/08/07 11:47 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Hi,

I just came back from work and discovered some weird stuff with my fruiting Z-Strain BRF. I don't really know what to think about it... yet :wink: My researches brought me on 2 opposed opinions.

One of my mushroom started to open but only on one side as shown on picture. Is this a mutation or a sign of anything abnormal ?

And what worries me a little bit more is the blue-gray color that appeared under most of the mushroom caps. It doesn't show off that much in the pictures but it is still present. I compared with a flush of Z-Strain on http://archives.mycotopia.net/discus/messages/5/28648.html?1069464619 and with what I recall from my first flush and they're pretty different.

But, I found out this thread which states it's alright.

Does anyone have any opinion or advice please ? Thanks in advance :smile:

It's fine and totally normal.  Just bruising.

Props on doing some searching before asking.  :thumbup:

I'd be tempted to think it is bruising but I really don't see where it came from... maybe some trauma from the shrooms since they lacked humid air for a while (my tube was clogged with water) ?

Why would the under-caps be bruised otherwise ?

Thank you for your answer

Those two are slightly mutated. When they don't grow right, such as one part growing to fast, or growing upside down, it puts strain on the tissues. Yes, lack of humidity can also cause this, but as the normal looking fruits are not bruised, I'd go with the above explanation.

Sometimes there is no obvious cause for bruising. It is nothing to worry about.

Those are also at the perfect stage for harvest if they're for eating. If you're wanting spore prints, let them go for a day.
