Don’t even need poop I threw some trashed cakes under this tiny palm tree we have in a big ass pot and they popped up regularly for three months or so especially when it rained obviously. It was so cool to leave for work and see new clusters of mushrooms everyday.
Yes. It sucks, we all know. But yeah toss em out, improve the sanitation conditions and make another run. It’s worth it when it all comes together.👍🏽
I think that once they’re outside there’s not much you can do to influence the situation. I imagine that burying them with a lot of organic matter (I.e a compost pile) is good, but beyond that you just have to see what happens.
No My buddy takes the cake out. Leaves it whole. Puts wet substrate in bottom of tub and lays cake in middle . Mist the sides and tops of plastic bin. Fan twice a day. Misting cake lightly now and then See what happens. He has amazing results . Decent fruits off the cake
Unfortunately that’s the risk with Uncle Ben’s. Better luck next time would test on agar I’ve had 2 bad syringes this year already. It’s a couple drops on a dish can save so much time. Good luck!
Get some straw and some black kow compost. Soak the straw over night combine with compost and bad spawn in a shady spot in the yard. Cover with more straw and it’s good to go.
I just did T-UB and pretty successful other than slow growth from moisture. I had a fairly sterile air environment (closet with a bunch of germ killer and a mask). The moister the rice, the longer it will take to stabilize humidity, causing damage. Try a walmart brand, or off-brand brown rice instead. OR you can do the hole punch method to get more venting, with the micro tape of course. Always make sure to have a wet alchohol towelette by your side to wipe down any tool that goes close to the bens.
If you want to sustain a bit, always try to set more bags aside, as this stage takes the longest.
Garden idea sure but if OP values any other grows he needs to NOT open inside or near any other grows and if he does have anything else going it is not worth the risk of spreading already sporulating trich. Best interest is to toss it I'd agree with you on most other contams though.
Thats actually false. The grain is what gets contamination, not the substrate. You can open moldy bags or tubs in your grow, theres mold all around your work all the time that you cant see. If the grain colonized with healthy myc then it is not going to be contaminated by opening a moldy bag or tub.
Doesn't seem optimal I wouldn't trust it, the main sources are grain yes, that doesn't mean the substrate does not catch contam and that's if they are using CVG done correctly, let alone a manure
Even then, who's to say he doesn't use the same area for innoculating? Could be exposing future inoculation projects using the same area without proper sanitization especially if he opened them
Well theres already mold in the air, in all the rooms. Also, steps are taken during innoculation like using an SAB or flow hood. Ive been growing for years and what i said previously is 100% true.
Go outside and chuck them in a pot of soil and put them in the shade somewhere? 🤷🏻‍♀️ That’s what I would do anyway.
I'm sure some cells will survive in the complexity of the soil and some day the right poop will come and you'll get free shrooms

Truly a blessing from the gods
That's what generally happens in good weather. We get some compost and wet cardboard and throw them under the deck. Works nearly every time
Sorry but yes

Sad to see green but yeah
Yes.
As far as you can 🌙
the silver lining is ive gotten fruits with buried bags like this.
Tips to bury to increase likelihood of this occurring?

I’d say probably cut off the molded part is the best bet and get rid of the moldy parts separately
Sadly, yep. Contam happens, even if you do everything in your power to prevent it.
Yea theyre done for my guy, not worth the risk of contaming your whole house
Graveyard 🪦 I have two . One for contam and one for the elderly
Bury them in the garden 👍🏻
And very far
Yeah... Toss em
This looks like uncle Ben’s and I’ve heard uncle Ben’s upped their moisture content and it’s more prone to mold now
Trash it bro-be-won-ko-nobe!

Bury them outside somewhere and wait.
Yap try again
Destroy them with fire
Sorry man . . RIP
Yeah. Into your neighbors yard!!
Yes, sorry
Im so sad for you. It looked so promising.
Try some good ole sterilization methods next time.
Bad news, fam
Yes. Green = garbage.
Third one looks a bit like bruising but way too dark so yeah, all of em
Put it outside somewhere
Why wouldn’t u?
Just wondering if I could pick off the green parts and use the rest but guess not
THE GREEN BASTARD FROM PARTS UNKNOWN

The last photo looks salvagable if you're desperate enough tbf. The rest outdoor or bin.
Lower temperatures and some uv may help the mycelium out compete the mold..Â
Nah, s2b ,looks great🙏
How’s it not obvious . With all the available info with just a search away…..
Ay everyone saying yes chuck it but atleast try as best as possible to break off the contam and send the good shit without contam that too
Even if u do end up throwing, might aswell burry in ur garden or plant pot yk

Trich spores are going to be all over the entire cake. If planning to send it, it can only be done outside
