Are any of these contaminated?
    #7991704 - 02/07/08 01:21 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)







Should I be worried about any of these? The third one is most disturbing, it looks like the infamous green mold. It was also my first attempt at a casing. The other two have already yielded a good number of mushrooms, which were certainly no more toxic than they were supposed to be. Could that just be bruising? Or is it something I need to just toss? I've not noticed any unusual smell, tho I know its a remerkably poor idea to sniff contams.

Thanks anyone for any help =)

I was taught a good way to check if its a contam or not is to rub a qtip over the area and if any of the color rubs off then its probably a contam, if nothing shows up its probably just bruiised

The first two cakes look dried out and bruised, from multiple fruitings perhaps. They need to be dunked.

The third looks like it definitely has some green mould on the top. Pick off the mushrooms, and bury the cake outside, or toss it in the trash.

Do the cotton swab test...Cutip with water on the cotton...place it on the contaminant...if it comes out its contaminant...if it's a bruise it stays
