After 2 months the mycelium "won" the battle and consumed all the bacteria and started invitro pinning. Sadly, it did not fruit. Maybe the infection left it too weak? Anyone have a similar instance in their grows?

Oh I’m well aware. I was moving out of that apartment so I figured I’d let it grow to see what happens.

It started fruiting in vitro so I spread it to coco coir and it colonized and hyphal knots started forming but it never fruited.

Wore a gas mask and rubber kitchen gloves and a trash bag and emptied the contents in the condo dumpster. Got a few weird looks haha.

Good to hear that you didn’t try to ingest that goo. I figured it’s good to make sure it’s clear just in case there are noobs lurking who are looking for any validation to save their contaminated grow :)
