Mushroom garden

Ok Ive never made the bags. I hope to have luck. I will use brf, dont wanna venture in other substrates now.I just puncture in the oven bag and shoot some mycelium water Then refill the hole???

Also I had jars , but found out they are contamed...I thought it was my tit lol , but no . Counting on the mycelium culture.

You should try the SA strain. This shit is fast to colonize, I tell you lol.

 

as a former home mushroom cultivator (i've consumed mushrooms a large number of times, and almost every single time was with my homegrown) i will extend probably the worst advice i possibly can. so in advance i must tell you to discard whatever i'm about to say, that it could possibly end badly, that i'm speaking from personal experience and would never recommend this, and that you need to be very careful. remember, i AM full of shit, even if what i'm about to say is true to the best of my knowledge!

so here goes.....

i've almost exclusively used the PF tek when growing my mushrooms, though i often used the dunk and roll technique in addition to standard PF tek. i wasn't always AS careful and sterile as i should have been. on occasion there were small spots of mold on the cakes, but the mycelium was dominating it and i went ahead and fruited them anyway.

i've eaten mushrooms grown from contaminated cakes on several occasions. most of the time the other fungi on the cake are harmless, pretty much just bread mold. the mushrooms grown on such cakes (assuming they don't have mold ON the mushrooms) seem to be fine in my experience, with no difference in appearance, taste, or effect. i've never gotten sick from this.

that said all things in mushrooms are either pulled directly from the substrate or made from precursors found in the substrate. anything the fungus is "eating" has a chance of turning up in the mushroom. a poisonous mold growing on the same cake could -in theory- potentially ruin the mushrooms. mold can, at any rate, dominate the cubes and ruin your crop, and can spread from cake to cake in the fruiting chamber. however, while people theorize that neighboring fungi can make your mushrooms dangerous, i've not found any anecdotal evidence to support this, and my firsthand experience has not supported this claim.

a bacterial infection or stranger fungi (something that doesnt look like your typical bread mold) is a whole different story. i would eliminate such cakes immediately like your life depends on it.

also, a type of common mold is the original source of pennicillin and similar antibiotics. if you are allergic to these drugs, or suspect you are, or if you are sick at the time you intend to ingest the mushrooms, i STRONGLY urge you to not follow in my footsteps. in fact, no one should at all, its foolhardy and potentially dangerous.


i am no scientist...not a biologist, mycologist, or pharmacologist. i am a former mushroom cultivation hobbyist....a lover of science but not well versed in carrying out the scientific method or doing actual research. my experiences are not grounds for saying that this ISNT dangerous, just that i suffered no ill effects and i suspect the theories are overhyped. but even if they are unsound claims, they promote safety and caution in an unusual pursuit, which is a very good thing.
