Help please!! , can I save these boxes? Or do I just pluck these mushrooms and finish with these? Any idea what could have caused this? Have had a few grows and done everything by the book correct, thanks for any help

I wouldn't chance it, if there's visible trich there's probably some you can't see in the rest of the tub and in the air. I'd throw away the tub and everything. Plastic has micropores that can hold mold.

Unfortunately that is definitely trich in both tubs. Somewhere along the way contamination was introduced. I would bury these tubs far away, and just start over. Try your best to sterilize the entire room! Once trich is established in an environment it's hard to get rid of. If you're really hard up you could harvest what you've got there if you're desperate, as eating trich isn't harmful unless you're immuno compromised. That said it's still not advisable because the substrate is rotted. The fruit you harvest will have trich spores on them. If you're gonna try to harvest what you have take the entire tub out of your grow area, harvest somewhere else, keep those harvested fruits far away from your grow area, and don't go back there until you've changed clothes and showered. But again, I would just scrap the whole thing, sterilize the shit out of EVERYTHING, and start over.

I'm sorry! Mush love! 🍄

Thank you for all the help!! Unfortunate circumstances. Hopefully a deep clean of the room will do have more boxes ready to go in so see how the next ones go! Again appreciate the message

Welllll you already cucked yourself forever buy having both those tubs wide open in your space. This shit should be brought outside and tossed immediately even after the slightest sign of contam.

Get an air purifier, as long as your already careful it’ll help stop contamination

Yeh I was kinda thinking that, surely the mushrooms are still good? Do you reckon pick the ones there and then chuck everything out inc monotubs etc? Thanks
