Unsure Identification

First of all, hello to all of the community. Im a long time reader, first time poster. So to start of the problem, SWIM decided to be lazy and use a rye grain spawn bag. Because it was SWIMs first time, he injected too much and the rye was constantly wet. Mycelium growth stopped around 70% colonized, so SWIM decided to put it to fruit. Of course, with all the wet rye, the mycelium started to lose the war against contamination. Facing defeat, SWIM lucked upon an enormous amount of long grass clippings in the woods. Reading on this site, SWIM saw that contam. cakes can still be used for outdoor spawn. Fastfoward to the present, and it has been a very rainy week since spawn burial(flooding included). Upon visiting his spot, SWIM saw small, round brown mushrooms, but was wary because they were off location of cake(although they scattered about in a roughly 2.5ft radius). Also, he noticed several dead mushie stems with undeveloped caps. SWIM attempted to break two youngins to see if bruising occurred, but no dice so far. SWIMs problem has been stated, and he wants to know if it is possible for the warring fungus to recover, spread, and fruit that fast, or did nature play a cruel, sick joke on him? Note: Injected strain was supposed to be B+, SWIM also broke cake into approx 9" diameter "pancake" before burial.

They try a few grows, fail miserably and then after a few months or one bad trip, go back to sniffing glue, never to be seen again. We have a basic pf tek that's idiot proof enough for noobs to get fucked up with their friends. Mycologists on the other hand grow for the love of growing. They want to experiment with various species, substrates, and fruiting environments. They'll move on to isolate strains, attempt hybridization, and in general treat cultivation as an artform, rather than a chore that must be performed as a means to an end. They'll work twice as hard for a ten percent gain, just for the love of perfection. These are the ones who will isolate strains, not the dumb fucks who treat mushrooms as a drug, or even worse, a pathogen, as if mushrooms cause disease. RR [/quote]

take pics and post in the hunting forum to get responses. Be wary of outdoor grown shrooms. If you're not 100% sure of the species and if its edible I wouldn't eat it. One bad shroom and you'll be fungus food.

Very few species are fatal. There's tens of thousands of pictures of cubensis on this website. Do your mushrooms look like those? RR
