Likely yes.

If they bruise blue, they are your specimines. The aminitas you are talking about don't. In North America, no mushroom thar bruises blue AND leaves a purple brown spore print is poisonous. But of course look it up for yourself.

Fungus mites. I had such a bad case that after I sprayed I had a good half cup of them dead on the floor. Just like spider mites but they like mushrooms Phorid flies. Fungus gnats STABLE FLIES! if you work with horse manure eventually you will encounter them. They are small flies that...

The thing about natural competition in fields and such is that you only one in a hundred billion spores actually grows to fruit in nature. You want far higher odds in your house than that. Don't compare growth in the wild with domesticated production. The reason you temporarily have little...

They are. Try anyway.

It's cancer causing and it doesn't do anything interesting, why would you eat it?

Don't use table sugar.

Yup, easiest thing there is. Let the cut end scab over for a weekend so. Then put it in cactus mix. Maybe three or four inches down. Water every other week. You want the soil to completely dry out between watering. When it puts out roots, water once a week, feed once or twice a year, lots of...

The point is to signal the organism that it has run out of food If you have a casing ph of 7.5 to 7.7 then contamination is rare (until the mycelium, while issuing digestive fluids and metabolites finally acidifies the casing enough to support contams). The flatter and more even you make...

What causes a pin to die? 1. Insufficient moisture in the substrate 2. Insufficient nutrition in the substrate 3. Infection 4. Genetics It has nothing to do with innoculation. The moment you have a properly paired set of germinated spores with clamp connections it makes no difference how you...

People depend on absolutism. "Light is not needed to trigger" as example. It's not aabsolutely necessary but it is important. Casing is not essential as I said but it seriously increaseyields

Casing is essential for a good, even, prolific pin set. I have done both ccountless times. You get more water, more irregularity, more beneficial microbes, more protection and less damage to the substrate.

Strongly disagree. Most think cour is inert because it is so for a planting substrate. People grow mushrooms on straight coir just as they do with straw.

Screw this app. I can't seem to post right. Again Casing serves several purposes. A lack of nutrient signals to the myceliium that it is running out ofit food so

Ok. Look. There is something wrong with my app. I can't directly reply to other posts...

What a shame, 7l. Your yield could have been gigantic had you cased properly.

Coir is really bad casing, it's got too much nutrition. But you are not putting it to fruit until after casing colonization

You will be fine.
