What to do when you see mushroom aborts?

When you see that one of your mushrooms stopped growing for about 4-5 days the best thing to do is to harvest/pick it out from the kit. 

How to recognize magic mushroom aborts?
First and foremost, aborts may be identified by the tip of the primadoria (the little mushroom’s head). Aborted mushrooms have dark-blue or black tops.

When you witness this and note that your mushrooms’ development has ceased totally for 4 to 5 days, you know they have aborted.

An example of an abort is shown in the red circle.

What causes an magic mushroom abort?

Lack of fresh air exchange and high CO2 concentrations
Temperature fluctuations during fruiting can cause genetic alterations and strain mutations.

Lack of nutrients (typically on the final flushes) Or competition for nutrition
Overlay or stroma (mycelium overgrowth that occurs on the surface and inhibits primordia development)

What to do when you see mushroom aborts?

When you find aborts, always remove them entirely since they will eventually degrade and infect the entire grow kit.

Can you consume mushroom aborts?

A mushroom abort is not the same as contamination ─ the aborts are good to consume if you get them before they start to decompose.

They might even be more potent and more psychoactive than the full-grown mushrooms by weight because they tend to be more concentrated with psilocybin!

Are there only aborts on your substrates?

In the unfortunate event that all of the mushrooms in your grow kit decide to abort, it is a good idea to harvest them and cold shock the substrate.

Temperature shock is a method used for pinhead initiation and increasing yield, but it is also debated amongst growers. The general idea is to trigger the stress gene in the mycelium, pushing it out of its comfort zone and stimulating reproduction.

Trying to grow another flush

If you’re going to do another flush, make sure the grow kit is completely harvested. All of the little pins on the sides and bottom should be removed before prepping the kit for the next flush.

Conclusion

Don’t worry if your mushroom kit has a few aborts; it happens to everyone! Make sure you pick them as soon as possible and then enjoy them.
