Only half of my casing is fruiting
    #10737059 - 07/25/09 07:52 AM (14 years, 8 months ago)

For some reason half of my casing is fruiting, and by the way it was fruiting on the bottom so I had to flip it over and then today I looked and still only half of the casing has pins. It has about 77 pins on one side and nothing on the other. Will that side fruit eventually? I noticed also that there is mycelium about 1/8th of an inch under the casing layer on that side. Will the pins make it through just fine? I saw plenty of hyphals on the sides of the casing as well and I'm sure the "new bottom" from flipping will probably fruit as well so is there a way for me to harvest the top then harvest the bottom easily without hurting the mycelium too much? I'm just worried because the casing might break or something will that be a
problem if it does?
Sorry the pics are so crappy

what kind of light are you using and where do you have it?  how long did you let the casing colonize before putting in the FC?

if you flipped the whole thing over, so the top was now on the bottom, and all those pins are on the bottom? and you opened it and stuck your hand in there and flipped it? if so you prolly ruined it.

you might wanna start with pf tek heres a link its really easy just FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS!

i used gloves to flip it without ever touching it i flipped it onto a piece of foil. it is fruiting outdoors actually. the spawn bag was colonized 100% for about a week and change before i deemed it thick enough to take outdoors. it definitely isn't ruined by the way it was never touched and has no contaminants. it was cased with MCMG and it colonized the casing for 6 days before starting to fruit. the only mistake i made was using a clear box for my casing which caused many pins to form on the bottom. usually the casings start pinning on the sides and stuff where the rH is highest and pinning environments are best but they haven't usually pinned on the bottom. anyway im just wondering if the other half of the casing will catch up and pin like the first half.

has zero to do with pftek but thanks... by the way you don't pin your casings with a lid on dude... so yeah... of course they are open

a few pins started to rise up on the other side. i guess it will catch up. im so stoked theres well over 100 pins maturing on the casing and thats just on one half. i have a feeling these are the early ones because the rest of the casing is barely ready but we'll see what happens. like i said to the bottom and sides are covered in hyphals as well.

so how do i flip over the casing when its ready to harvest and get those pins without breaking the casing?

I'm wondering the same thing!  So... there were pins on the bottom, and you flipped them so they were on the top, and then you flipped it again?  You now have maturing pins on both top and bottom?  :confused:  I'm confused.  If you have pins on the bottom they'll be squished if they make it to the sides so they can grow....

I would let nature do its job. You are asking for trouble. GL

Mushroom land!!!!!!!!! That's looking really good!!! Leave it be!! Just mist. They are going to suck a lot of moisture from that substrate!!

With so many pins make sure there's the right water content!!! If not they will abort a lot!! Let some water evaporate and then mist!! Bring it up to saturation and then let them drink... Then bring it up again! Be very careful with water delivery!!

sounds like you got great furiting conditions outdoors.

Maybe you should try some straw baskets fruiting outside :-)

Oysters would be a nice we project to have sitting out in the garden.

Hey ive even see cubes fruit in a straw basket outside.

that sounds pretty cool. i'd like when this casing is depleted to dig a hole and throw in a little hpoo and recrumble it. ive never done a hpoo outdoor patch and i think near the end of this casing would be a perfect opportunity
