Moldy bark

[wide-eyed]

apologies, seems I misunderstood.

just wondering if anyone thought it would create a toxic spice if one extracted from moldy bark. the largest pieces of mold can be removed but surely there is a coating of aflatoxin and other mycotoxins on the "clean" looking pieces.

(i am under the impression that this is ok to post)

Just curious what kind of bark it is and wheter it was moist or damp?

It was pretty damp.

Well, it's better left to the more chemistry-minded folks, but my take is, it is probably ok to extract.

I just recently extracted a good portion of rotten cactus, and ended up with the best quality of mescaline for myself to date. I did an STB, then salted out with sulfuric acid. I would think if you did a similar extraction with this bark, specifically salting with fumaric acid, you should end up with only the good stuff, and nothing toxic.

Are you able to separate anything without mold, or is it one big ball of mold?

 

[wide-eyed]

Its mostly the larger, thicker pieces that are moldy. Much of it is untouched, probably covered in spores though. I am not familiar with fumaric acid, I will have to look into it.

I cursed when I saw this. I once threw away a rather large Trichocereus that had gone completely rotten. It was almost entirely liquid and stank of ammonia, though!
