Hi guys,

First time grower here, I mistakenly left the lid on my kit while in the bag 🤦‍♂️, the shrooms still grew and popped the lid off, but there was some green mold present and 1 huge shroom.

I harvested them just after taking the picture I've attached, and I dried them in a dehydrator, you can see the second image.

Questions I hope you can help with:

Is the green mold going to affect the shrooms?

There's some mold on the cake, I'm attempting a second harvest, but suspect probably a bad idea due to the mold?

The dried shrooms have a blueish tint, I've read this is normal, called bruising, just double checking it's not related to the mold.

The size of the large mushroom, will this be less potent per gram, and impact my dosing?

Any guidance would be appreciated, trying not to use reddit for this 😅

It started as a zombiemyco bag which was birthed into a monotub when it started pinning. The shrooms that exist look good, but there's only a few of them. What could a shrooms farmer do next time to get a better flush?

Hey all my boyfriend wants to do shrooms for his bday and I wanted to drop a question in here as I’ll be trip sitting. I have never done any psychedelic myself, i only smoke weed.

He’s done shrooms before and says he “usually starts with a little over 1.5g and then takes 3.5g an hour or so in”. He’ll be taking PE and maybe one GT — both of which I grew last year.

Personally 5g of PE in an hour sounds like a lot to me but I don’t have any evidence to back that up.

Anyone suggest starting lower?

I am not a doctor but found that this was an interesting read.
