I mean, if the slightest bacteria can destroy the mushrooms growth or even make them not grow at all.. how do they survive and expand in nature?
In: Earth Science
I think the problem is that you’re creating an absolutely ideal environment for fungi to grow, which is unfortunately also an ideal environment for many molds and bacteria as well as competing fungi.
So, it’s a race between the preferred fungi and these less ideal alternatives because once the good fungi establishes itself, it’s immune system should be able to combat potential hazards. However, if you’re raising fungi for human consumption, even a small amount of infection by a foreign bacteria or mold could render the entire crop inedible
