Frequently Asked Questions
This is typically due to lack of air flow and is referred to as a stall out. There is a quick fix. Just place the bag in front of a fan for a couple days and it will re-stimulate the mycelium.
The mycelium growth that occurs for manure loving and most gourmet mushrooms is white. If you see a blue-green color. That is a common contaminate called Trichoderma. You can wait and see if the mycelium from your manure loving mushroom can fight off the contamination, but if the majority of the bag turn blue-green the bag needs to be thrown out. If you see black mold of any type you must throw out the bag immediately.
When harvesting mushrooms there are 2 factors to consider. Does the mushroom drop spores or not? If a mushroom drops spores most people like to harvest the mushroom right before the vail breaks releasing the spores onto the block. If you aren't concerned about spore drop, allow mushroom caps to expand out to 90%. There is no need to wash off the block if spores drop on it since it will soak in water for 24-48 hours between flushes. For mushrooms who don't drop spores, allow them to get to 100% maturity or desired cap look.
- A spray bottle of 70% or 91% isopropyl alcohol or alcohol wipe.

“I have been trying to grow mushrooms for the past 6 months without much success. I tried a mono tub and had contamination issues to start (was a little ambitious), second I tried a grow bag and genetics from another company. The process took 3 months and my end result was less than ideal. I had great success my first time with the Blue Caterpillar bags and only took 2 and a half weeks”
