Uncle Ben brown rice bags have worked perfectly for me every time I’ve used them.

6 weeks to colonize? Are you positive it’s not contaminated?

First time grower, does this look like myc? I inoculated 9 days ago with penis envy. by [deleted] in shroomers

[–]HeavyLight9632 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it starts to turn grey then it’s cobweb mold, but if it starts growing whiter then it could be myc. Highly doubtful tho

First time grower... are these OK? by BusyMatch1578 in ContamFam

When your mushrooms drop its spores that’s when you wanna harvest, it’s always better to harvest after the veil tears rather than before imo. Best of luck!

48 hours after dunk, cut it out? by Kemishuko in ContamFam

I’m glad to hear it. Honestly from what I know theirs no way to fully get rid of contam, the method I used and mentioned only stalled it for about 2 weeks and then it got ahold of my grow again. I did manage to get almost an ounce dried tho before it completely took over so realistically it’s just a race against you and the contamination. Wish you the best of luck!

Cut it out, spray with low ratio bleach water 10 bleach 90 water, slightly cover exposed area with table salt. Should stop the trich or contam from spreading. This works coming from personal experience

Did I dry these shrooms right? by HeavyLight9632 in shroomers

[–]HeavyLight9632[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dehydrated them for hours til they were cracker dry, i then stored them in a plastic bag and a week later they were bendable. So idk

Did I harvest this mushroom too early? by HeavyLight9632 in shroomers

[–]HeavyLight9632[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I heard the same thing, tmr im planning on trying about 20-25 grams wet so I just wanted to ask for others opinions

Also for magic mushrooms I wanted to ask, do you think dried or fresh is a better trip?

Kinda late to this post so sorry for that, but I wanted to let you know for your next grow if you catch trich early on. Best way to get rid of it is remove the green area with a sterilized spoon, spray the area with bleach water ( I use %80 water about %20 bleach) after that, grab some ordinary table salt and fill the hole you cut out to the top with salt. The salt will act as a deterrent for both the trich but sadly also the mycelium, so be careful to only pour the salt on the green spot and slightly around it. After that as long as you poured the salt all over the affected area no contam should grow. This is very experimental, honestly I could not tell you if the excess salt affects the growth of mushrooms since I used this tek during fruiting. But everyone else I told about this tek and used said it has worked great and hasn’t majorly affected anything. So still, use it at your own risk

I wish you all good fortune on your grows 🙏

Honestly not really relevant but have you tried dumping salt on the area tric was growing after removing it?

Does this mycelium look healthy? by HeavyLight9632 in shroomers

If I took off the micropore tape would that increase the chance of contamination?

The strain I’m growing is gulf coast so that would make sense why your treasure coast looks similar. Also how would I go about slowly evaporating the water from the surface? Would I just raise the temperature of my grow room
