Help! white bugs on my prints

When I printed my blue oysters yesterday for the second time (first time there was bugs too) I noticed some very small dots that walk around in my oyster prints shitting and fucking everything!!!
My guess is that they live on the oyster mushrooms and drop off when I print them. What can I do to fuck them back? The three prints that had one or two bugs I will put in the fridge to kill them til I need the prints.

mites!!!!all i can tell you is clean everything.if your greenhouse is in a room with carpet vacuum 2-3 times.then keep vacuumed 2-3 time a week.you also need to use a mild pesticide for mites especially if you have reptiles.

Damn that sucks man.
I would quarantine any clean cultures you still have, destroy any potentially infected cultures,and begin tracking down the source of the little bastards. Identifying them positively will be a big first step, that will give you some clues where they my becoming from. The Mushroom Cultivator will be a huge help in that respect.
Only thing you can do from there is try and choke them out. Separating your grow room from the source of invasion will be key. Again, positive ID and the Mushroom Cultivator will be your biggest assets there.
Good luck man. Once nature finds out how tasty your shit is, she's a hungry, pushy bitch.

Damn fish, sounds like you may have been in his shoes before... Have you tried diatomaceous earth? I don't know how it does for mites specifically, but it seems to run a train on most things small shitty and otherwise unkillable.

I wonder if you could nuke it a couple seconds without killing the spores. Maybe if the spores were left to dry out first..

Anything that would kill an insect will destroy a spore. Those prints are fucked, throw them out.

I do have a bearded dragon and a colombian boa. You think these mushroom mites attack reptiles too? I hope not. I see no damage to my mushrooms at all , but I don't underestimate that their quickly growing numbers can start to show heavy damage if they eat mycelium.

just from my own keeping snakes thru the years,i know that those little buggers can become a problem for your reptiles.they are like miniature ticks.they can cause severe anemia if left unchecked.my advice would be to check your reptiles and their enclosures thoroughly.if they are there most pet stores have a treatment that is fairly inexpensive.clean your bedding out treat your enclosures and reptiles.it make take more than 1 treatment but your pets will be much happier and so will you.pc,fish
