I've got another growing question:
If you buy a ready-to-use growkit, is it possible that another kind of mushroom starts growing in it? (because of contamination?)
What can happen with your mushrooms if you had a little green spot on the substrate? Can they become poisonous or something?
I had three flushes from a growbox. The mushrooms from the first flush looked great. I have only tried 2 dried grams of them and had a soft trip. But i think the potency is ok. While the second flush was growing i saw a little green space on the substrate (it was gone again after a few days and the box didn't smell weird or something), at that time i thought that was just part of the mycelium.
Anyway, both, the first and the second flush had good looking mushrooms growing which all turned a little bit blueish when touching/picking them (the second flush mushrooms seemed a little bit whiter or less blueish then the first flush). With the third flush i again saw a little green spot growing on the substrate, and the mushrooms i finally picked from this flush didn't turn blueish at all! They are completely white! (or maybe a little bit yellow-white). I even tried a fourth flush (maybe that was not that smart if i really had a contamination growing, but i'm not really sure about that and didn't know about the risks of spores which can contaminate all your future growboxes at that time) but in this last flush all the mushrooms stopped growing at a few centimeters..
So can someone give me some good advice?
I think it's safe to use the mushrooms from the first flush (i already tripped on them and had no problem at all). I also think the mushrooms from the second flush are good, although they turned out a little bit less blueish. But what about the third flush? I guess there went something wrong and there is no psilocybine or psilocine in the mushrooms, because they didn't turned blueish at all. I think, i can better throw these mushrooms away, but can anybody tell me if it's possible that this is a different kind of mushroom (which i doubt) or is it just the same mushrooms which had some problems while growing?
Thanks!
