What to do with the aborts (black heads)?
    #9876926 - 02/27/09 12:52 PM (15 years, 23 days ago)

Hi there,

Im growing Psilocybe Cubensis from a growkit and they are growing fine! I do have some pins that turn black though. My question is: can I still eat those? I know I should harvest them before their heads turn black, but what if the heads are already black or totally black? Does that make them unfit for consumption? Is it only a question of potency (black = lost potency) or are the black ones bad for your health?

Aborts are STRONGER than full grown mushrooms.  If you were able to dry a whole eighth of tiny aborts, you would CERTAINLY fry a lot harder than normal.

If they are getting gooey, toss 'em.  As long as they dont seem decomposed (any more than a mushroom inherently is......), they're fine.

make a clone or make a print so you don't need another kit.

Thanks fot the replies.
In the picture, there are only 2 aborts. The rest I picked them because they were growing "up side down" or because they were starting to touch the walls / roof of my (too small) fruiting chamber. I'll move the cake to a bigger fruiting room as soon as possible.
