I recently left for a trip(the non mushroom kind) for 9 days, leaving my mono-tub with no visible pins. When I returned I found that many fruited (golden teacher) mushrooms had deposited large quantities of black spores all over the container. I picked them, where upon they felt of normal firmness, and dehydrated them on the day of my return.

I suspect I don’t have anything to worry about, as I don’t see any signs of contamination. However, as this is only my second flush on my first grow, I’m hoping someone more experienced here might lend me their advice on the matter.

Thanks!

    Hello, I had this problem for Christmas: For me the caps were rotten but the feet were looking fine.

    I just throw away the caps and let the feet dry. No issue except that they were much lighter (30g fresh => only 1g dry)

      Cool thank you! I might snip off the caps if they look funny but they seemed ok— just curling up a bit.
