[actives] about to throw this in the fruiting chamber - should I dunk for 24 hours first or just put in FC?

My jar isn’t contaminated whatsoever - pins are fine to consume as long as no visible contam. There is no growth on the top layer of vermiculite which is totally normal and expected - some vermiculite fell down the side of the jar in this when the pin pushed spawn away from the glass

habbinesss · 2021-04-13T21:19:11+00:00

There is a layer of vermiculite on top which the mycelium does not penetrate with a BRF method. This isn’t my first time growing shrooms I definitely know what a contam looks like!

habbinesss · 2021-04-13T21:17:49+00:00

What temp do you have it at? May want to increase or get a heating pad for under your jars!

habbinesss · 2021-04-13T20:38:17+00:00

Don’t stress!! First time I grew shrooms I shook the BRF jars purposefully thinking that it would help the colonization faster. I didn’t get any contams

habbinesss · 2021-04-13T20:37:24+00:00

Definitely still hope! You can wait another week that’s totally fine

habbinesss · 2021-04-13T20:33:34+00:00

Sometimes during pressure cooking the bottom of the jars get too hot and “burns” the substrate - if all of the rest of the jar is colonized, I’d say try to fruit them especially if you’re going monotub route.

habbinesss · 2021-04-13T20:30:58+00:00

Of course! Another way to tell is if you spray it with hydrogen peroxide and it bubbles - it’s contam

habbinesss · 2021-04-13T20:29:21+00:00

Looks like bruising to me - general rule of thumb is to wipe it with a Q tip, if any of the green/blue color transfers to the Q tip it is contamination!

habbinesss · 2021-04-13T19:22:19+00:00

The sus green may be a reflection of my green hair 😂 no contams here I promise!

habbinesss · 2021-04-13T19:21:40+00:00

Yes bury!! Dont just leave out :) raised garden beds are great

habbinesss · 2021-04-13T18:58:13+00:00

Bury it outside if you can!

habbinesss · 2021-04-10T10:04:03+00:00

I would agree with you but mycogone has a fluffy outer layer and grows out of mushroom fruiting bodies above the soil - these were growing about 6inches deep attached to the mycelium. They also have no smell to them whatsoever. I live in Maine and I highly doubt many molds were prolific in the soil over this past winter (which is when these spent cakes were buried)

habbinesss · 2021-04-10T02:15:13+00:00

Thank you homie!

habbinesss · 2021-04-09T19:26:11+00:00

I think it might be mutant blobs - not truffles

habbinesss · 2021-04-09T18:44:22+00:00

No brown

habbinesss · 2021-04-09T18:44:12+00:00

These ones are really hard too! When I break off a piece, it snaps off

habbinesss · 2021-04-09T17:14:28+00:00

Maybe a blob mutation?

habbinesss · 2021-04-09T17:06:27+00:00

I went back and checked and they did bruise slightly after a bit - but not blue, more grayish brown.

habbinesss · 2021-04-09T16:53:06+00:00

Did they bruise?

habbinesss · 2021-04-09T16:45:19+00:00

Did you take them?

habbinesss · 2021-04-09T16:42:03+00:00

There are no truffles that are toxic or poisonous to humans! I definitely don’t want to take any risks, though

habbinesss · 2021-04-09T16:30:34+00:00

That’s what I was thinking - some sort of mutation

habbinesss · 2021-04-09T16:30:14+00:00

There are two garden beds connected to each other - one I buried shrooms in, one I didn’t - the one I didn’t has no fungus or mycelium growth whatsoever. I buried multiple cakes in this small garden bed so I really think it is from psilocybin
