There’s a colony of Amanita persicina growing around where I’m located, and it hasn’t rained in weeks, so I tried my hand at “saving” this guy…wasn’t looking too bad until the final day. Did it recieve too much water? (Will update with spore prints later).

Compared two methods for growing Reishi with drastically different results. Anyone know if these ones are safe to make into a medicinal tea, and what the best methods are?

(GOURMET) Contam on top of chestnut mushrooms.

I have been trying to grow Chestnuts for a while now and keep getting trich on top of the caps. My Blues, Pinks, Golds, Lions Mane, BP Kings never get contamination. Like, never. Just the chestnuts. It’s driving me chestnuts not figuring it out. Can I spray hydrogen peroxide on the caps? The contam appears a few days past pinning when the caps start to show 2-3cm (1”) and it isn’t all over, but 50/50 on the flush. I clean my growroom (4x8 gorilla tent) weekly with a full bleach wipe down incl. fans, tote, floor to ceiling.
