Are these mushrooms infected?

hey y’all, earlier on I saw something very red the size of a dot on the colonized substrate, I think it was lipstick mold. Anyways I severed it with a sterilized exacto knife. Now I’m getting interesting deformities on the caps and I have no idea if they are infected. Here are some pics

Hahaha put down the knife and the internet.

It's too high humidity pal :)

Here's some rieshi I grew in too high humidity and irregular co2

Basically lack of fae

Anyways the mushroom reverts back into mycelium and tries to fruit again because when you colonize its super high co2 and humidity so it thinks it's in its colonize phase. Then you check on it and it gets some fresh air and trys to fruit again..

I've seen mushrooms grow on mushrooms before man. It's all good. Just check your environment and get some fresh air.

No big deal man still edible.

Also I'm not sure how new you are at this... But do you know about aborts. And to not fucking eat them?

It's when your mycelium produced too many fruit(mushrooms) and can't support that many or their damaged. And anyway you'll see some stop growing. Little mushrooms that never made it.. Like an inch or less tall. Their caps will turn black and they'll die off. The problem is that they have the full potency in most cases of a fully developed mushroom... Do yourself a big favor and throw these in the trash or toilet. I'm not even joking man.

Unless you want to cry and fucking lose it... Throw them the fuck out. I thought I'd be smart and save them way back. Well I had half a grocerie bag and my buddy thought he was strong headed like everyone who does mushrooms...ate a few little mushrooms.. Anyways it wasn't good. Almost had to call the ambulance. Stick to the normal mushrooms and dose low. Because the ones you grow from spore are probably alot stronger than your dealers shit that's been cloned out 40x

Dually notes! Thanks for the heads up. I’m also very new to this. This is my second grow, so we’ll see how this goes. I have one that is probably a few days away from being done, everything else is like at least a week. Should I wait and harvest all or just harvest the first big one?

Man harvest them as soon as the veil breaks.

Your better off starting out or if your not home 24/7

Once they blow their spore loads everywhere it's a mess. And it's dead organic material to start rotting. Only to fuck up your second and third dunk and flushs

Just open air, spawn is Rye Berries and the substrate is horse dung, coco coir, and other things. I bought everything off the web, but now I have a pressure cooker. The strain is B+ spore syringe, I did Willy Myco’s mini monotub tek. So I had a humidifier in the still air box which had the mini monotub. Humidity was at 99%. So I took off the humidifier but the hygrometer is reading 67%. That’s too low right? I followed the tek to a T, how is my humidity so low? There are 6 one inch holes covered in micropore tape and 1/4 in holes every two inches. Are the one inch holes overkill? To much air leakage?

Micropore is too much for a fruiting tray, you will get some gas exchange but no fresh air.

Buy some white filter floss for aquarium filters, squeeze it into a plug shape and pull it into the hole.

Agree, another cheap option is buy some synthetic pillow meterial from Walmart. Or buy acheap pillow. And take roughly a handful and lightly Jam it into a 1.5 inch drilled hole right at Spawn level because co2 is heavy. And put a small 6 or 12 inch fan just in the room pointing far away from your mushies to get the rooms air moving

If you have too much air flow you'll see your medium dry up near the holes. Put more pillow material or less air flow in the room

And I'm confused about you saying this part

The part you need to worry about is successfully making strong fast colonizing rye Spawn... In you still air box. I would just spray h202 on the sides. Never mind putting a humidifier in your still air box blowing all sorts of shit around.

After you injected and colonized your jars. You can do this in open air really if you make injection lids with RTV silicone and tyvek air filter

After you have fully colonized jars... And given you use a high ratio spawn/ horse shit combo. as your not working in a healthy clean room environment... You should be using maybe 30 % Spawn /70% shit

The more Spawn you put the faster it will colonize and all your really trying to do here is get you mushrooms to out race the bad bacteria and once your medium is totally colonized your pretty safe.

If.... You don't break the medium in half ... It happens don't pick it up weird.

Or if there's sitting water

Or if you run it too long it eventually runs out of vigor and other shit lives off all of the acidic yellow by product and the spores and exposed food.

It is not that hard man. I have grown shrooms in icecream tubs inside small aquariums with glad wrap over when I started. With 110 degrees and no humidity outside.

I have polyfil that I put in the one inch holes, so hopefully that brings the humidity up, because right now it’s sitting in the 60’s What if the humidity does not go up? Just to clarify, the humidity needs to at least be in the 80’s right?

Fine mist spray bottle, distilled water.

Give a couple shots in the tub once n a while. But a good thing to watch is to see if the top is drying out or pooling water.... Try for Inbetween . Like moist
